Answer 5

Probably, but not with Dropbox. Dropbox exists for local syncing, GDocs exists entirely in the cloud. You'd want a dedicated application for that, but I don't know if such a thing exists. If it has a good API, though, it shouldn't be too hard to hack together.

Answer 6

May be you can use Google Gears on both computers and tweak it to save files to your Dropbox folder, but this would be a total hack and there are very few chances it might work.

Answer 7

See this Dropbox getsatisfaction feature request and vote for it if you want it.
