Creating Online Documents in Wrike? It’s Easy with Google Docs Built-in!

Published by Daria  |  Wednesday, 14 April, 2010

Ok, this is a very simple feature, but we know that it will bring some of you a substantial productivity gain. Wrike gives you the opportunity to collaborate on your project-related files online directly from your workspace and without attachments. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome online document management in Wrike’s award-winning project management software with Google Docs built-in!
 

Starting on April 14, those of you who have a Google account will be able to create and automatically share online documents, spreadsheets and presentations directly from your Wrike workspace. If you are already familiar with Google Docs, you will certainly appreciate the ability to link the tasks in your favorite project management software to your online files effortlessly, with no need to coordinate your data in two disconnected systems.
 

To see the power and simplicity of Wrike’s new feature in action, go to your workspace and click on the “Files” tab of any task. You’ll see two new links, one for creating an online document and another for starting an online spreadsheet.
 


As soon as you pick a name for your newly created online file, you’re taken to your Google Docs account, where you can edit your document. You also can upload your existing files to share them with your team members online.
 


After you save the file in Google Docs, a link to this item appears in your task in Wrike.
 


From this moment, your team members who also have Google accounts can access the file from their Wrike workspaces, change it and download it to their computers. It’s that simple! But just imagine how much more productive your team work will become with no need to manage project-related data in two separate applications. Now you can organize your project files directly from Wrike!

    This is fandamntastic! We already use Google Docs for all of our content creation and Wrike for our project management, so this is perfect. Thank you! I am trying to utilize this new feature with our GoogleApps account (vs. my individual Google account) because that's where all the work docs need to be stored. I can't figure out how to do that. Am I missing something?

    Luther,

    Unfortunately, Google don't let you log in to your Google Apps from this dialog, but there is workaround. Just open another tab in your browser, log in to your Google Apps and mark "stay signed in" check box. Then try to create document from Wrike and Google will ask you which account you want to use. Choose your Apps account.

    This is great, but how do I link to existing documents?

    Amnon,
    At the moment you cannot link to existing Google docs. We've added your request to our customer requests database. Thank you for your comment!
