Open Desktop files into Zoho Apps

Open Desktop files into Zoho Apps

This feature request applies to Writer, Sheet and any other app that can import files from other software...

If you want to be able to eventually act as a replacement for local Office suites, it is extremely important that users (the regular ones) be able to simple double-click on their files in order to open them. Having to log on to a website, select "Import", browse to a folder (especially a network share) and opening it is never going to be acceptable. Granted, it works fine when all your documents are online, but what if they aren't, or what if you're still transitioning?

As a potential buyer of the Business suite for our company employees, I think this should be given high-priority. If I can eventually have computers that don't even use MS Office on them, I will be a very happy camper. Right now, that's completely impossible.

I'm sure Google Gears can be of help here...

Cheers,
Eric-Sebastien Lachance.
