Google Now Has Shared Folders In Google Docs

Google has improved their Docs app once again. It is becoming increasingly easy to use and with the collaboration aspect of docs, it’s even better. My buddy Bryan and I have been working on a new podcast and we are both really busy people. Both with young families, he is traveling for work all the time, I have my regular 9-5 plus a consulting company and we both have our blogs. Due to all the crapola going on, it was completely natural to look for easy, fast and reliable ways to share information with each other. We use Dropbox for non-office type stuff but for office apps, Google Docs was a no brainer.

The issue I had with doing it this way was the need to share each file with the other guy – EVERY TIME. Now that’s fixed… with shared folders :) Simply share the folder and add all the docs that you collaborate on; into that folder. MAGIC!

As with most Google things, it’s quite easy to do. Take a look at their sharing tutorial here to see how the new features are implemented.

Geek on!
