Shared folders and multiple file upload in Google Docs
October 12, 2009
Today, we are happy to launch one of the
most requested Google Docs features
— the ability to share 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.
Once you've shared a folder, all of the items in the folder will be accessible to the group. You can also add someone to an existing shared folder to give them access to all of the folder's content. Likewise, each item you add to the folder will be automatically shared. Just like with sharing documents, you can
specify edit and view-only access
for a folder.
In addition to sharing folders, you can now upload multiple files to Google Docs at the same time, simplifying the process of transferring documents from your desktop to the cloud. Once your documents are in the cloud, you can access them from any device connected to the Internet or share them with people you choose.
These features are currently rolling out and will be available to everyone by the end of the day. If you're interested in learning more, check out our post on the
Google Docs blog
