Microsoft Office teams utilizing theGoogle Cloud Connectfeature will be thrilled to know Google listed to you and responded quickly
This update of the Cloud Connect focused on the overwhelming request for multilingual options and a popular request to have the ability to minimize the tool bar to reclaim that precise user interface real estate.
Just over a month ago, Google launchedGoogle Cloud Connect for Microsoft Office, adding simultaneous collaboration, revision history, cloud sync, unique URLs and simple sharing to the Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint applications. Pretty nice, huh?
Today, Google will release its first update that adds support for38 more languagesand adds the ability to minimize the toolbar. Here is what Google Cloud Connect looks like in Japanese:

But wait…there’s more! Following the trend of quick development of popular requests, Google added the option to minimize Google Cloud Connect by clicking on a new minimize arrow. When the document is synced, the minimized bar will still show upload progress.

Wow. Two of the biggest companies working together and producing what the users requested in between major releases. Maybe this whole transparency and quick iteration concept has some legs. Kudos to both teams for listening.
