Google Docs Launches Shared Folders

Google has announced that its online word processor Docs just got a little better for team collaboration, with a new feature that allows users to share entire folders. Shared folders make it easy for a team of people to collaborate on projects that require multiple documents, spreadsheets or presentations. If you have a group of items you want to share, all that you have to do is put them into one folder and share it. It’s also an easy way to start working on a document, then share it with a select group of individuals without having to remember to invite them in the first place.

All these new features work in both the regular edition of Google Docs and in Google Apps for Domains, too.
