Harmony for Google Docs™ is a free sidebar for Microsoft® Outlook® that eliminates the need to use e-mail attachments. The beta release transforms Microsoft Outlook into a powerful collaboration console, with full-featured access to your Google documents. Locate, share, and work on Google documents quickly and easily, directly from your e-mail.
Drag, drop, share.
Drag files to the Harmony sidebar to upload and convert them to Google documents.
Share Google documents automatically. Drag a Google document from the sidebar to create links in your e-mail messages and meeting requests. Harmony automatically shares the document with the recipients. You decide to give recipients read or write access. Recipients simply click the link in the message to open the document in their browser. They don’t need Harmony installed.
Replace attachments with links. When you send an attachment, Harmony for Google Docs asks if you want to upload the attachment to Google Docs and send a link instead. Harmony makes sure that the recipients’ will have access to the new link.
Find documents easily from Outlook.
Search document contents on Google Docs from the Harmony search box. The results appear as you type.
Locate documents using the View Bar. The View Bar at the bottom of the Harmony sidebar allows you to switch between common views, such as spreadsheets, starred items, items owned by or shared with you, and more.
Work on Google documents.
Open and edit Google documents in Outlook. All your changes are saved online and are available to your colleagues.
Organize documents in folders; star, rename, or hide them. Documents in folders have a folder icon. Clicking the icon opens the folder dialog which lets you move or copy the document to other folders.
Share Google documents with other people. Harmony suggests users from both your Outlook and Gmail contacts. So it's never been easier to share documents with all your contacts; there's no need to worry about finding contacts from multiple address books.
Save Google documents in Microsoft Office format. Convert documents to popular file formats as you download them to your Desktop. Harmony can export Google documents to Office, OpenOffice, PDF, RTF, HTML, TXT, and image formats.
