Good news, Google Docs users: Dumb Little Man (I didn't know Dave had his own blog!) has rounded up 10 useful Google Docs hacks.

Here are two of the best, both of them dealing with document synchronization:

Offisync is an excellent tool which can sync your Microsoft Office Documents with the web based Google Docs. Check out this detailed post on Read Write Web which talks about some of the cool features of that tool.
If you are looking to download your Google Docs documents to your computer, edit them offline and then sync them back, then Syncplicity can help you. To know more, check this article on Digital Inspiration.

The more I use Google Docs, the more I like it. Granted, it can't fully replace an office suite just yet, but for working on the go -- and, especially, for collaborating on documents -- it's just fantastic.
