  • Setting eight different paths to save files – The Add-in allows users to set eight different paths for saving the files which include Google Drive, Dropbox, Gmail, network paths, and local paths.

  • Auto-save the files – The user can enable autosave with a certain time interval. At the specified time interval, it will simply auto-save your file at the mentioned paths.

  • The shared setting for all three Office Applications – Settings between Word, Excel and PowerPoint can be shared so that the user does not have to configure each application separately.
