In a way, they already have, since you can mount your Google drive on your local file system, and interact with the files from there. The problem lays with the proprietary Google Doc format.

- falcolas 6y agoNot... really? I can't open it with a local application. At least, not until someone (not me, no time) creates a local application which interacts with Google Docs via this API.' In the mean time, I'll continue to use .docx, since Google docs can export and import form this format.
