Could you add my request as well please for document comparison?

Could you tell the devs that WPS Office does it, so does Onlyoffice, so does LibreOffice - so it is getting a bit lonely for TextMaker now.

I use Google Workspace, the paid for version, not the free version. Often it is a real pain as it imposes all sorts of extra security and makes it harder to use than a personal account.

Problem solved: you need to authorise the app in the Admin Console. Dunno why, never had to do that before, but it now accesses my Drive files ok.

I am trailing TM for Android on my tablet. I would like to link it to my Google Drive, but when I tap to log in, choose my account and click to proceed, I get a red triangle saying "This app is blocked. This app tried to access sensitive info in your Google Account. To keep your account safe, G...

OIC - so it won't run under Android but will run Linux. That's ok, I'll give it a go, thanks for the pointer,

I am returning to this software after many years - it would be nice to have something cross-platform. On my Lenovo Chromebook Duet, it installs but when I try to log in to Google Drive, I get a warning box saying Google has blocked this app. I then tried to install on my Pixel Slate only to find tha...

Just answered my own question - in the Files app, you can "Share with Linux". The problem with Linux is always why they insist on such a strange interface: looking for a folder under "mnt/chromeos" is not exactly intuitive. I think I prefer the cleaner interface of the Android ve...

OK so I got it working in Linux, I can try it for 30 days.

How do I open a file in Google Drive?

Chromebooks now represent quite a big market for Android apps - Linux is too complicated for the likes of me who just want ease of use without bothering with the command line. Plus it means buying two licences - one for Linux and one for Android as I have several Chromebooks. Plus I suppose in theor...

I can't help thinking you have shot yourselves in the foot on this one, I don't understand why it is limited to just one type of processor as Android uses different processors. Same problem - with joy I downloaded TM for my Lenovo last night, I was seriously thinking of standardising on this softwar...

"I am right, you are wrong. A common scenario, these days." Actually I am unsubscribing this thread because you are either staggeringly rude or just plain weird. You wouldn't say that to my face if we met for the first time and were talking about this subject, so why write it down? As I sa...

I love the cloud, and I love Chromium and Chrome OS, and I use G-Suite (its unfortunate modern name) for some of my work. It works just great and - if you are an ordinary user - it is free (of monetary charge). You seem to be seeing demons and devils in the cloud - I'm sure that there are unscrupulo...

Not sure I understand - are you just saying that you don't like Chrome, or that you don't like any browser, or you don't like software working in the cloud?

Confused.

It does but not terribly well. For one thing it does not resize on the latest Android running with ChromeOS and secondly, scrolling is somewhat strange, you have to click on the document to stop it scrolling as you move the cursor up and down.

Guess that's a No then ...
