Google have just released a desktop gadget which lets you search and open all your Google documents from your desktop. You are able to drag and drop documents into the gadget and have them automatically uploaded to your Google docs account. What’s even more awesome is that you can bulk upload!
For the developer in you, the gadget has been open sourced in the hope that it will inspire developers to learn how to integrate desktop applications with Google Docs using the Google Documents List Data API.
The Gadget works will Google Apps accounts however unfortunately the gadget will only work with Linux and Windows versions of Google Desktop Gadgets. :(
Be careful with that, Michael Schuster just wrote a blog post about serious security flaw of google docs.

I put many things on the web, but I have to consider that it is not safe everytime.
Unfortunately for Linux? I love it! ;)
No Mac ftw.
Security is one of the most important thing about documents that is for me a reason not putting them on the web.
