Given how integrated Drive and Docs are, if this doesn't have docs-like collaborative realtime document editing, for many people this is like "30% of Google Drive"

For people whose UX is dragging and dropping stuff to browser, and/or using a desktop sync client only, sure why not, the UI looks clean and familiar. But as someone who has used and still uses like 3 different similar things concurrently, the only real reason I use drive is because of the seamless zero-dependency office-like web software being part of the product.

(yes I know it's a curse too, I ended up writing a piece of software just to migrate company drive stuff to my personal drive when a company I was a cofounder in went bust to have a record ... those google docs can really only exist in Drive natively, any export is an immediate downgrade)





Twake includes OnlyOFfice which has collaborative realtime document editing on Docs, Sheets, Slides, etc...
