Google Docs tips: Share files among the clouds

Sharing files between Google Docs and Box, Dropbox, or SkyDrive is simply a pain. The standard method to share between them is to download the file to your desktop and then upload it to the other service. A better alternative is to use the online service Otixo, which lets you manage multiple cloud file services in one central location and transfer files among them without downloading anything to your PC.
Once you're signed up for Otixo, get started by clicking My Cloud Services and selecting the accounts you want to add. After you've authorised each service, you can simply drag and drop files between, say, Google Docs and Dropbox.
Otixo is free for up to 250MB of bandwidth usage each month, and costs $10 for unlimited access to transfer and manage your online files. It will convert documents saved in the native Google Docs format into .doc files when you move them from Google Docs to Dropbox or another service.

Speech type a document

Google have rolled out speech typing for Google Docs enabling users to write and edit text with simple voice commands. For example, users can say 'highlight [word]' and then express 'delete' to remove said word.
To use this feature, go to 'tools' then 'voice typing'.
