It doesn't work properly. The extension was installed for the whole company, but in my computer (MacBook Pro) loose the connection every single time the extension is updated. It's frustrating, and Technical Department hasn't solutions. Anyone knows what could be the problem? Thanks

I have an ARM based laptop that is not compatible with the Google Drive app. AODocs combined with the local client is the only way to sync my files across my other devices. Works perfectly for me! I would love it if AODocs would let me select the folder I want my spreadsheets to sync to that way I can take advantage of the external links I have between different files.
