Google Cloud Connect for Microsoft Office brings collaborative multi-person editing to the familiar Microsoft® Office experience. You can share, backup, and simultaneously edit Microsoft Word, PowerPoint®, and Excel® documents with coworkers using Google Docs.
Since using Google Cloud Connect is easy the learning curve is not there. Usually most of the users will know or would be using Microsoft Office or Google Docs, Google Cloud Connect makes it easier to use the two in conjunction and I do not see a reason why someone would not use it. This move will surely bring in new customers to Google Docs who never really felt the need to store documents online but with Google Cloud Connect having a copy of the documents online becomes a breeze.
