AODocs – Legacy Smartbar for Google Workspace seamlessly integrates AODocs features into Google Workspace, enabling easy access to AODocs libraries directly from Google Drive. Users can create, open, and edit Microsoft Office files within their desktop applications and save changes back to Google Drive with one click. The extension supports importing, managing, and editing AODocs documents and folders, updating workflow states and document properties, and importing Gmail messages.

This legacy Smartbar offers administrative functionalities for AODocs library administrators and requires an AODocs license linked to your Google Workspace account. AODocs is a robust document management platform designed to replace legacy systems like SharePoint by delivering powerful workflow engines, document controls, compliance with industry regulations, granular permissions, and integration with other business systems. Note that this legacy version will be deprecated in June 2025, with a new Smartbar version available.

User reviews

Users find AODocs helpful for document management in Google Workspace, particularly in business settings. However, many complain about the inability to uninstall or remove the extension easily and frequent intrusive pop-ups. The extension also requires a business account or domain registration, limiting accessibility. Additionally, it lacks some convenient features such as batch file movement, and users experience difficulties exporting or reverting changes, leading to frustration and time loss.

Pros

Integration with Google Workspace for document management.
Useful for business environments and work-related use cases.
Provides some functionality for handling folders and documents within Google Drive.

Cons

Difficult or impossible to uninstall or remove from Chrome and Google Workspace.
Causes frequent, unwanted pop-ups and prompts, especially when accessing multiple Drive accounts.
Requires a business account or a domain, which limits usability for individual users.
Poor export functionality when trying to revert changes or move documents back to Google Drive.
Lacks features like moving multiple files at once, leading to inefficiency.

Recent reviews

Zero stars. This has been removed from my workspace, chrome, etc. yet it is not removeable here. Years later and I'm suddenly getting popups for it again. At this point, this is spam and there's no where to report it to Google?

don't download this chrome extension. Just download the parent folder you want to duplicate then upload that unzipped folder to google drive in desired location.
