Google Docs : Now Share Folders Too

14. Oct, 2009 0 Comments

Google docs has announced a most awaited feature – Shared Folders. Now you can share folders too. Previously only documents could be shared. Shared folders feature was much awaited, as sharing each document separately was a very tedious task if you maintain lots of documents on Google Docs. Blogs like ours, where multiple authors write articles first on Google Docs as drafts, will love this feature of shared folders. Because, you see, you can easily make folders with each author name separately and share the folders with editors or other authors.

Sharing a folder is very easy process. You have two way to do it. You can right-click on the folder which you want to share with others, click invite people to start sharing that folder with the people you want. Or open that folder, you can see “Share” button. Click on that button, you will see “Use the checkboxes to select one or more items, or Share this folder”. By clicking on that ‘Share this folder’ will open dialog box to invite people to share that folder. Below are the screen shots you might find useful.
