Sync Documents to Go with PC

Is there a way to automatically sync a document on your Bold with files on your PC when using Sheets to Go/Excel so that when you save on one it instantly saves on the other?

Not the way I think u r envisioning. There's Google Docs, and there's a desktop MS Office plugin called Offisync that connects to Gdocs.
The way I do it is with a free SugarSync Acct, the bb app and pc app. Just set up SS to sync w the folder u save your MSoffice docs and they are instantly synced to their cloud. Then u start the bb app and they are there to edit and save. The saved versions will be synced back up to your pc. Files u create on your bb have to be manually uploaded through the ss app, but takes like 2 seconds.

I use Synctoy from Microsoft. It let's you sync btwn drives or folders. Just linked a folder on my Bold with one on my network and when I plug in my Bold in mass storage mode it syncs the files

That service requires you to supply a credit card before you get a free trial. I'll probably forget to cancel before the 30 days is up, and I'm pretty much a major cheap skate and refuse to pay for any kind of app or service. I suppose I can use Google Docs and just acces the file I need to use from the PC at work instead of my BB. Thanks for the reply, though. I guess technology is a year or two behind what I'd like to do. It's just too bad Sheets To Go won't let you save to Google Docs.

SugarSync requires no credit card to sign up for the free 2gb acct. The just free acct is new. Just signed a fmaily member up the other day and def didn't use a credit card, as there is no trial period on the freebie.
