Google Apps Integration and Some Other Minor Issues

Google Apps Integration and Some Other Minor Issues

I have been testing Zoho Projects, and so far I like what I see.  However, I do have a few issues.

My company relies heavily on Google Apps and I have found Zoho Projects integration a little lacking.  Here is a list of some things I would like to see in Zoho Projects.  
  1. I would like to be able to add more than just tasks to my Google Calendar without each user having to subscribe to their Work Calendar.  
  2. I would also like updated tasks to update in my Google Calendar, as well.
  3. Only allowing Google Docs to be imported completely defeats the purpose of Google Docs for me and my team.  I realize that you offer Zoho Docs, and that once files are imported they can be edited and viewed in Zoho Docs. However, as I said before we are heavily invested in Google Docs, and the purpose of Google Docs for us is to have a central location for our documents to collaborate on.  If we import a file into Zoho Projects and a member of the team updates that file within Google Docs then we have 2 versions of the same file.  And like I said, that defeats the whole purpose for me.  (While I like Zoho Projects better overall, Manymoon is a great example of Google Docs integration.  You can create a new Google Doc, edit and set sharing permissions all within Manymoon's interface and the doc itself stays stored within Google Docs.)  
  4. It would also be nice to have this functionality at the task level from within the Associate Documents tab. Currently, I believe you have to import a document before you can attach it to a task. (Manymoon has this feature, too.)
  5. And last, it would be nice to be able to click on the start and due date of a task to change them in the task list for quick updating rather than open up a new page to edit.  You can already do this with Owner, Status and Priority, but not the dates.
If any of this has been covered in another post, then I apologize.  With those things being said, I am still quite impressed with Zoho Projects and the other tools that are available from Zoho, as well.  I realize it is hard to be all things to all people, but these are just a few of the things that I would like to see in Zoho Projects.
