Discussion on:

Connect LibreOffice with your Google Docs account by using OOo2gd

This is definitely not as seamless or smooth as Microsoft Office and SkyDrive (both program and the web interface) but does provide a means to open the Google documents in a local, non-browser application.

I think it would be so much better if this were incorporated into Google Drive's synchronization client, and not be limited to just Libre-/OpenOffice. Then that would give Microsoft's Office/SkyDrive a run for the money!

For WebDAV, you should consider the WebDAV Integration extension at

An earlier version of the extension catalog included user comments. They can be seen for this extension at

After installing Java make sure you configure LibreOffice to use the JRE under Tools>Options>Java.
Also on Ubuntu/Mint make sure you install libreoffice-java-common or you will get a java.lang error.

Curious, it works with both LibraOffice and OpenOffice on Windows, but only LibreOffice on Linux. With OO on Linux, when attempting to connect to Google Docs, it throws up an "Problem: Could not initialize NSS" error.

Java is installed and enabled everywhere.
