We're using netspace here as well, but have set it up so students have
filtered access, but staff have unfiltered access (yes, that's putting
a lot of trust in the staff :). Anyway using netspace's admin control
panel you can whitelist sites that would otherwise be blocked by the
filter. So just add docs.google.com to the whitelist (or command/beg
your technician to do so) and hey presto. The whitelist settings come
from the 'networks' access control.

Just gotta hope they've got a deal with google to provide an uptime
guarantee...
