Can it download gdoc, gsheet Google document files without convertation?
for example like google app on windows?
As I know, gdoc is an internal GoogleDoc format. As an illustration of this, these files do not have a size in Google Drive. For editing these files on your pc you should convert it to one of the office formats. I admit that a native Google app possibly allows work with it directly but ccross was made only for sync purposes.
Yes, you are right, its not a file document.
But some of your users used before or use Windows right now and and the same time use Linux as a desktop.
Google App in Windows creates for each Google document something like a shortcut on disk. It allows to open gdoc and etc in the browser.
Example shortcut
{"url": "https://docs.google.com/open?id=21jZzEgbbEy4xspyQLxFhBL2HFhMf8jMAGcWS9tc8t-0", "doc_id": "21jZzEgbbEy4xspyQLxFhBL2HFhMf8jMAGcWS9tc8t-0", "email": <name>@gmail.com"}
This is convenient at least because you do not see empty directories in which important common documents can be stored in the cloud.
If follow the logic of ccross in case if this files with links will be created then on next time of being sync all files in remote side will be replaced with these files with links. Or in the best case sync will break with error. I'm not sure in result of this.
