Really good program to backup your Google Docs!

We use Google Apps for our business and we use CloudPull to make sure that if we were to loose our internet connection, we still have local copies of vital documents.

The main feature of CloudPull that puts it above the rest (for us) is that it keeps revisions and it keeps everything in Office format (.doc .xls etc) so we can access and edit the programs instantly.

https://www.insynchq.com/ is a free google docs sync like dropbox.
Worth a look.

For many people this will be a really convenient way to backup or export their data from Google.

Google themselves provide free ways to do it:

sorry, forgot to mention that if you want to move data the other way ie from desktop to Google, you can, with the very excellent CyberDuck.

Does this app allow back up to Google? Don't you think your going the wrong way? Every one is uploading to the cloud!? I might be interested if this were an automated way to back up to my google account.

Google provides reliable online apps, but it is up to you to protect yourself against service outages and data loss. While backing up local data *to* the cloud is a great idea, I think it is also important to have a local, physical copy of your data.

Read the description again. This app backs up data from Google to your hard drive. This is not the "wrong way."

Backup. Backup. Backup. Having frequent backs are important. However, backing up to the cloud is becoming a practical solution. My original post was to inquire as to whether you could push to Google as well as pull. Please understand the context...

No, CloudPull backs Google service data up to your Mac. If you are looking for a way to back up your local data to the cloud, I recommend Arq: http://www.haystacksoftware.com/

@Cmacuser If you were just asking a genuine question about some perceived missing functionality perhaps it would be better to remove or adjust your rating if possible? It's not very helpful for people like myself that are interested in this application when it's given a 1/2 star based on what seems to be an opinion rather than genuine use.

@Nick Lo: Thank you for asking @Cmacuser to adjust his or her rating of CloudPull.

There are also ratings available in the Mac App Store, all from customers who have downloaded the app through the Mac App Store. You can see those ratings by going to this link, and clicking on "View in Mac App Store":

http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cloudpull/id404445477?mt=12

At present, there are two reviews there: one with a five-star rating, and one with a four-star rating.

I find this useful. There are many, many back-up solutions to the cloud. There are too many times I do not have internet connection and wish I had files locally. This is perfect. Now, I might get an Google account and use Google calendar, contacts, etc, and not be tethered/slaved to online connection. Unfair to give it a half-star rating because it does not do what you are looking for.
