More than two years ago, I wrote a blog post of my view on Cloud Computing, titled "Save To My Skydrive". Back then both OfficeLive and Google Docs provided online Office applications and collaboration tools. But one thing missing in both offerings was the feature that allows one to easily save local docs to the cloud, by simply clicking "File"-->"Save To Skydrive" in MS Office software.
Today, Google announced Google Cloud Connect for Microsoft Office,  a tool that enables local MS office files to sync to Google Docs.
