Install Java with the command sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer.Update apt with the command sudo apt-get update.Add the repository with the command sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java.For the purpose of this post, I will focus on exporting/importing with Google Docs. I’ll illustrate how to install Java on the Ubuntu 12.10 desktop. For the purpose of this post, I will use a platform independent take, but for those using Linux, you might need a little help installing Java. The Ooo2gd extension will run on any platform and requires Java (version 5 or higher) to be installed on the machine. ( Note: Even though OOo2gd hasn’t been worked on since June 2011, the extension still works like a champ.) You can do just that with the LibreOffice extension OOo2gd, which makes it easy for anyone who has a Google Docs account to export or import a document to and from LibreOffice. In those instances, the ability to work with a document on a local drive and then sync it with Google Docs later is handy.

You can also use OOo2gd to import/export to Zoho and export with WebDAV.Īlthough working in the cloud with Google Docs is an efficient way to manage documents on multiple machines and to collaborate, sometimes you need to work with a document when you’re not connected to the cloud or to the network. If you use LibreOffice and Google Docs, you can merge the two by using the OOo2gd extension. Connect LibreOffice with your Google Docs account by using OOo2gd
