 Marianne,

           Can't this also be achieved by opening a Google Doc using the actual 
Google Doc editor by accessing the file from the local Google Drive Sync folder?

           I've never tried to do collaboration as you describe it, but I do 
have clients who far prefer to access files stored on their Google Drive, or 
shared via their Google Drive, using the "local" Google Sync Drive folder.  
It's much easier to get to files that way than through the Google Drive web 
interface.

           I use the web interface pretty much exclusively, but I can 
understand why someone who was blind or visually-impaired would have a strong 
preference for using the Google Sync Drive that they can set up on their 
computer, and that appears for all the world like any other folder, rather than 
the web interface unless they needed to use it to add an item shared with them 
but that they do not own.

Brian
