Above all, you can store everything online, that implies you need no additional back up and that you can access the files from anywhere you like. With so much to avail and all for free, I find its a great tool to manae your documents online. Still where you get stuck is that how would you get Word and Excel 2007 documents into the cloud? Well there’s a simple solution, let’s see what’s it.

Well, you would be glad to know that Google has added .docx (for Word 2007 files) and .xlsx (for Excel 2007 files) to the list of formats that are accepted for uploading documents. The list already includes .doc, .odt, xls, .ods, .ppt, .csv, .html, .txt, .rtf, and others.

To import your .docx and xlsx files in Google docs just click the Upload button in your Docs List menu, select the file and Google Docs will upload and convert the file for you to use.  That’s a great relief for all you Google Docs users. Now you don’t need to worry about the format of your document, just upload and the rest will be done for you.

In case you have many files to upload. You can upload them all at once in Google Docs, just make sure you check the Google Documents List API.
