> I suspect one of the reasons for that is that the native storage isn't a file format at all, and that all of a users sheets (and other files for the Google apps) are stored in a set of entries in an online database. If the DB entries can be duplicated to the users browser, then they could be serialized to a file in the users google drive. This would allow people to back up their files, move files out of google drive when it gets full and move them back in when they need them. That guy that lost all his files a few months ago would have been ok. I can't see a good reason the .gsheet files are just bookmarks. I want my files. Also, if somebody from Google is reading this, please add a reconnect option to Google drive. Exiting and re-running drive is a pain after every network failure, hibernation, etc.
