Make Google Docs behave like Dropbox through Transmit with Webdav

I'm huge fan of remote storage for backing up my recent documents and the important one I always want to keep close to me.

I started by using Google Docs: Loved it! It gave me satisfying storage space for very cheap (5 USD /year for nearly 30 Gigs) and the possibility to edit my documents from a web browser, making it easy for me to edit a spreadsheet or word document from virtually anywhere.

I was then confronted to the difficulty on syncing the files I had locally and on my Google Docs. Uploading and downloading files back and forth just made the whole process counter productive.

I then discovered Dropbox. It offered smooth synching of my local files on drive with the ones on server. This was really convenient for me and for a while I even stopped using Google Docs.

I then discovered the a way on combining Google Docs functionality with Dropbox thru Webdav. Many of you may not know it but Google Docs IS Webdav compatible thru a third party http://dav-pocket.appspot.com

Using this in combination with Transmit 4's ability to sync directories, I was able to emulate Dropbox functionality while taking advantage of the large storage space I have on Google Docs with it's collaborative functions.

1. Enter https://dav-pocket.appspot.com/docs as server

2. Enter your google docs username and password
3. Save and Run the connection

Enjoy !!!
