Edit: What Docsflow does is allowing InDesign to sync with the gdocs files.

Edit 2: in the end what I need is an online collaborative text tool (cross device) that I can link to a page layout program. Right now my workflow is Google Docs + Adobe InDesign.

Edit 3: Worked around it by using adding my project files to a OneDrive folder and editing the text files through Word online.

Edit 4: I think the open source solution would be having a nextcloud server syncing the .odt files linked in Scribus, but I will have to try to be sure. Thanks all!

    Hmm, I find it somewhat unrealistic to expect there to be a open-source software to interface between two close source software (Gdocs and Indesign). Have you considered using an InDesign alternative? The chance for an workflow similar to what you have in mind is probably higher will all open-source software.

      Yea I’m with you, Im not expecting that, it’s just that that’s the workflow I’m using right now and I know there is this program for them, so that was my reference. I could totally use scribus instead of InDesign and ‘?’ instead of Google docs but I don’t know what is out there. From my online searches, I couldn’t find anything to do this apart from Docsflow/wordsflow, one uses Google drive other Word online.
