Google docs

Post by capefox »

The developers at my software firm decided to create and archive documentation in Google Docs. Can Flare link to topic and snippet files in a Google Doc directory (created in native Google format)?

What exactly do you mean? Import them into the project as topics? Use them as external resources that are pulled in at build time? Or just link to them so the end user goes to the Google Docs location when the link is clicked?

Yes. Import docs residing on Google Doc into a project as topics.

You can download a Google document as several formats. If you wan to create a tool to do it for you, there is an API.
Google Drive SDK API Reference

For example you can get a list of files including download URLs.
Files: list
And then download the files.
Download Files

You can use Google Takeout to download the data also.
