I recall using HelloFax to sign and fax legal/tax forms, an upgrade from having to do it physically. This takes it to a new level of convenience; now one may apparently sign/fax docs, clicking right through docs stored on Google's cloud, which is a pretty nice reduction in friction.<p>EDIT: I'd also add that when you have a busy day, having a simpler way to manage/deal with periphery tasks like faxing, makes a significant difference to your workflow. I don't have a need for faxing people right now, but bmarked for when I do.
I adore HelloFax — talk about a well-designed product that solves a real problem.<p>Props to you guys for being so on top of things to have your Google Drive stuff ready to go on day 1!
Kudos to HelloFax for being on top of complementary product releases and using the release of gdrive as marketing fuel.<p>I believe they also did something for SOPA to spur letters to Congress. That was a clever, good-for-the world marketing move, too.
why does it need access to manage my contacts? I'm pretty sure they're trying to take advantage of the hype to spam my address book. not positive though as I'm not going to sign up.
Faxes are probably one of the most annoying things I have to deal with since I don't have a fax machine. Next time I need to send a fax I'll definitely try out this service - anything beats traipsing over to Albertsons!

I'm trying to test the receive faxes into gDrive function, but every time I try to get a fax number it brings me back to the main screen.<p>Anyone else get this to work?
