Memeo launched today what the media is describing as the Memeo's take on the "GDrive". GDrive is the much anticipated service everybody expected Google to launch on the lines of Microsoft's SkyDrive, an online service which allows you to store large amounts of data online.

Although Google never launched the GDrive, Memeo has called its new service the GDrive, a drive which integrates and fits into the local file structure of both Windows Explorer and the OS X finder. Formerly Memeo users could access Google Docs right on their desktop using Memeo's client, but now the GDrive lets them drag and drop upload files and folders to their Google Docs account. On the other hand, they can open and edit Google Docs files locally like any other file.

The Big Question

What is unclear however, is whether you can sync files only with the files stored in the online folders part of Google Docs, or if you can actually sync files between the local formats and the online formats of Google Docs. For example, if we upload an MS Office file using GDrive, can we open it as a Google Docs file online (without explicitly converting it) and so on. On the other hand, can we simply navigate out Google Docs account and open Google Docs format as a local format?

If this is the case, this would really differentiate Memeo's offering from similar offerings from Box.Net, DropBox or HyperDrive.
