Google is making its presence felt more and more on the desktop, right at Microsoft's doorstop. Unlike Chrome which is an alternative to IE, this Google Docs integration is just making things way too complicated. It's a parasitic relationship. Each of these services are handicapped in their own way and are using each other's services as bandaids.
what microsoft should have done 5 years ago with their own service.
Their own service is also currently the most low-quality experience in file syncing I have ever used. It seems to "hang" all the time, it constantly asks me to put my password in again, nothing about it is usable.
