saving online: loss of internet connection
Sometimes a person could lose connectivity to the internet while in online mode (due to weak or transient wireless signals), and then there is a problem with saving documents. At this point, if one tried to save a document one had been working online, the application returns a connection error, and all work since last save is lost. This seems silly, because the document is essentially on a perfectly available storage medium all the time (computer's hard drive). Why not, when in online mode, attempt to save to the online location, but if connection fails, default switch locations and save offline? This would connect the offline-online user experience a fair bit more soundly, and would make working online much more safe and pleasant.
Zoho Writer is a great app., but like most (if not all) other apps. that work online/offline, it still requires that one separate the two environments manually. I envision an application that works in both environments (as yours does), and does so in a way that is seamless and almost entirely independent of user consideration. I want one working environment that works all the time. That's what I think the cloud should be, not a here/there scenario, because when there are two items in a set, there is always a preference, a worse, a second best. With online availability issues, online become secondary to offline. I don't want that, and neither do you. Make it all one.
