Chrome OS and File Management

There have been many posts lately regarding Chrome OS, file management, and The Cloud. In the current implementation files can be saved to your downloads and then uploaded to a page later. This is useful in some circumstances, but can be cumbersome if you are basically always connected to The Cloud.

My thoughts on a better solution would be an option to save directly to Google Docs.

It would look like this:

Right-click or Double tap
      - Save as...
            -- in the pop-up window, the downloads folder and Google Docs

Clicking on the Google Docs folder would allow for direct save to Google Docs

I noticed that I had been saving documents in my downloads only to then upload them to Google Docs. It seems like this process could be automated more through a script to make it simpler. Then Google Docs becomes the de-facto file management tool for Chrome OS connected to The Cloud.

Any thoughts?
