- That when you open a file in finder/explorer it opens up a browser, which seems a rather pointless user of a desktop application.
\n\nInsync solves both of these issues, allowing multiple accounts and also doing a fantastic conversion on the fly, opening documents in your office application of choice. Formatting can sometimes be a little strange in the opened documents and I've no idea what would happen if you tried to collaborate on a document at once.\n\nInsync also has mobile apps available, but as for some reason (android at least) they have support for multiple drive accounts, it's rendered somewhat pointless.\n\nwww.insynchq.com","links":[],"fields":{}}
