Create a Client for Windows/Mac that Syncrhonizes files like DropBox

Create a Client for Windows/Mac that Syncrhonizes files like DropBox

This is a key missing piece from making Zoho Docs a killer app.

So What is Missing?
A small client program that allows you to select folders/files for synchronization with the server (Zoho Docs).  For those of you that do not know, DropBox and several other services (although none as well as dropbox) have a small client that runs, synchronizing your files in the background. 

Benefits:
  • Makes working with a remote repository as efficient as working with your local file system or Sharepoint;
  • Saves tremendous time since you do not have to keep track of what is synchronized, and save locally and save to the cloud each time you work on a document;
  • Enables you to passively share files with other subscribers to your files (in this case in Zoho Docs) and allows them to effortlessly have the latest version of the files locally on their machine(s) to work with.

What is the big deal?

Use Case 1: Think about how many times you post to a Web site, and you are pulling a document or image from your local machine to use in the context of a blog, wiki, Web site, storefront, or whatever.  There is never a "browse google docs" or "browse zoho docs" it is always "Browse server" or "browse locally." 

Use Case 2:  Also, when not working in Zoho docs, and working on a file locally,  it is a royal pain to save it up to the cloud as well as saving it locally.

If "local" was synchronized with the server, then this would would work great and stop from having us have to copy everything. 

How Hard is This?
The solution pattern is already done, DropBox does it every day.   Zoho could reach out an integrate with DrobBox or create a similar client that runs smoothly in the tray.  The client is no small task.... as I have tried others and few do it well without causing windows to crash.

Please support this if you agree.  I am hoping Zoho is going to respond that this is in the roadmap and close to ready.
