Google Docs problem in 3.4

Hello,
I have a problem with googledocs feature and a couple of questions about Google Docs Account use scenario.
ERROR WHEN I TRY TO CHECKIN
I can create docs, checkout to Google Docs, edit the document and save it in Google Docs.
When I go back to Alfresco and I try to checkin the document I edited, a layer with "'[MYFILENAME]' is being checked in from Google Docs" is on screen.
I receive an error 500 "An error inside the HTTP server which prevented it from fulfilling the request." following the POST to /share/proxy/alfresco/slingshot/doclib/action/checkin/node/workspace/SpacesStore/[DOCUMENTID].

HOW GOOGLEDOCS ACCOUNT SHOULD BE USED
My question is about the Google Docs Account use scenario.
I really don't understand how to use it in a scenario with different users and groups.
I have to create an account for my site? Do my users need to have a GoogleDocs Account? Do I have to authorize them to edit or view a given file?
Thank you for help,
Marco

Hi,

I'll try and answer some of your questions …

Yes, in order for your users to use GoogleDocs to edit checked out documents they will have to also have a Google account.  By default it will be assumed that a users Google account id is their email address, unless a users Google account information has been added to a users account profile.

When a document is checked out from a Site all the users that have editing writes within that site on that document will have edit capabilities on the shared document, those with view will only have view.  So you don't need to do any additional configuration, the users and permissions you have set up in your Share site should behave naturally with the way the checked out GoogleDoc is shared.

Cheers,
Roy
