A cloud LaTeX editor. Live at drivetex.appspot.com. Inspired by LaTeX Lab by Bobby Soares.

Right now, it's a little bit more difficult to get started with DriveTeX that it ought to be.

1. Go to drivetex.appspot.com. If this is your first visit, you'll be prompted to authorize DriveTeX to access Google Drive files that you specifically give permission to access.
2. Visit drive.google.com. (If you just authorized DriveTeX, you might have to reload.) Find a .tex file to edit, right click, "Open With" -> DriveTeX.
3. Your file opens up in the DriveTeX editor. You can make changes, save and generate a preview.

If you find that your situation doesn't work with DriveTeX (multiple source files, additional LaTeX plugins, etc.), let me know!
