Hi guys,
today I started to use this extension and I seems good! :D
If you have your local copy and you want save a remote copy is perfect.
But when I tried to modify from gdocs the document, I can't see changes in my 
local copy! :-|
I activated the option "autoupdate", but update in only one direction (from 
local to remote) but not in the other (from remote to local).

How can I do that? Thanks for your help.

Best,
hachreak

In short, you cannot. 

Longer version is that you can do it, but only in this way.

1) You download document from Google Docs with OOo2GD using Autoupdate, 
2) you edit it locally and OOo2GD tries to sync your changes with copy in 
Google Docs,
3) After you finish your work you have most recent version in Google Docs
4) now you work with version in Google Docs,
5) You again, download document from Google Docs with OOo2GD with Autoupdate 
and everything starts again ;-)

I tried to describe it in help page for OOo2GD: 
http://ooo2gd.przemelek.pl/home/autoupdate but.

If Google will add ability to do so, and when I will learn how to do it in 
OO.org I will add it ;-)

it depends, from one side, it works in this way, that when you save your 
document, it is simply uploaded as update to Google Docs, so new version of 
file is created and everyone is happy.
In opposite way it is more complicated, you have document opened in OO.org, 
somebody changes Google Docs document, now information about change must be 
send to plugin (and as for now I didn't know anything about such thing in API), 
and after this plugin must be able to "patch" document with this change, what 
also isn't trivial.
