harmon.ie, previously known as Mainsoft, has been delivering cross-platform enterprise solutions since 1993. It is our vision that enterprises should be free to pick and choose collaboration offerings from multiple platform vendors such as Google, Microsoft and Lotus; no matter what products are selected, business users must attain a harmonious user experience. As email evolves into 'social email,' harmon.ie will enable the email client to become a more powerful collaboration console. By reducing the number of collaboration interfaces, harmon.ie will continue to minimize context switching, thereby making business users more productive.

Mail recipients do not need harmon.ie to open document links. For Google documents, recipients click the document link in the message to open the file in a browser. For SharePoint documents, recipients need access to the relevant SharePoint site in order to view the file.
Google does not currently provide programmatic access to upload all file types to Google Docs. When this is available, it will be supported in harmon.ie.
Google Docs uses different links to the same shared document, depending on whether you are accessing it from a free Google account or a paid Google Apps account. If you send a document link to someone outside your domain, the link is automatically modified so that the recipient can open it from their email. This makes the link in your Sent Items folder work for the recipient, but not for you. You can still see and access your document from the sidebar and from Google Docs on the web.
