Say, someone sent you a link to a document published in Google Docs. You have the permission to view the document, but not edit it. Google doesn’t provide any option to copy the document to your account, where you can edit and play with it. Now Google OS reveals how to do that.
You can create a duplicate for the document by replacing:
http://docs.google.com/View?docid=AAAAA
With
http://docs.google.com/DocAction?action=copy&docid=AAAAA
(note: AAAAA is the document ID)
To simplify the whole process, there is a greasemonkey script, which adds a neat “Copy to my account” link below the document. I just tried it and it works like a charm! Once it’s copied to your account, you have full permission to modify it, whichever way you like…

The days of having (or needing) a huge hard drive is drawing to a rapid end with applications like Google Docs enabling one to store data online. The functionality of these services will just get better and better. The ability to share data in this manner is going to revolutionise the way we look at our computer hardware.

A Google account has turned to be a great virtual office. I don’t know how I survived before without it.

Big rep to greasemonkey for the script, nice work.
