Google Documents backup utility – Use Gdocbackup to keep a local copy of your Google Docs files

by Ivan on July 3, 2009

Gdocbackup is a freeware application that lets you keep a local copy of your Google Docs. The advantage of this is that you can access your files even if you are not connected to the internet. It also keeps them safe if there were to be any problems with Google Docs.

GDocBackup lets you backup (export) your documents from Google Documents to your PC.

The application is smart enough to simple each document in Google Docs and check if this has a different date, i.e. multiple version of the same document.

No password if required to use this backup utility in case you’re concerned about security issues.

    I use another tool called Gladinet to backup Google Docs. It can mount Google Docs into Windows Explorer as virtual folder. after that a simple drag and drop can back it up to my local PC. It can also mount other online storage services such as S3, Picasa into Windows Explore as well
