Google Docs adds shared folders
Published: 13 Oct 2009 09:26 BST
Google Docs has long let users share documents between one another, but folders — a feature added to Docs back in mid-2007 — have largely been left out of the picture.
That changed on Monday, as users are now able to share entire folders of documents, spreadsheets and presentations with other people.
The benefit is that the permissions settings for a shared folder controls the individual file permissions of all the documents inside of it, meaning users do not have to go through and change each document's viewing permissions one at a time. It is 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.
