Sharing a word or excel file from drop box or google docs?
I have a word document that I want to make available to my wife to use as well. This is a dynamic working document that we both will access at various times to add/delete items from the document.
We both have office 2010 on our local computers and our tablets as well if I remember correctly. I would like to be able to open word and retrieve the internet stored file/document from within word, just like I can do from the local drive.
What I'd like to avoid is having to access the cloud drive with some sort of file manager and copy the file from that drive to my local drive before I can open it with word. I'd like to avoid having multiple copies of whatever version stored all over the place. I'm just trying to minimize the amount of file manipulation just to get it open in Word. Ideally I'd like to be able to open the cloud stored file directly from within word.
I do have a drop box account but the interface seems a little clunky.
We both have gmail accounts and I wonder if google docs would be more user friendly than drop box?
Hope some of that made sense.
Thanks
