Google Docs adds live sharing to folders
Google Docs has long let users share documents between one another, but folders–a feature Google begrudgingly added to Docs back in mid-2007, has 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 here, is that the permissions settings for a shared folder controls the individual file permissions of all the documents inside of it, meaning you don’t have to go through and change each document’s viewing permissions one at a time. 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.

Google says the feature was one of the most requested features from its users, as voted on at its product ideas voting page. Google has also used this feedback to upgrad its Docs file uploader to accept multiple files at once. Just like users are able to do in Gmail, the Docs uploader now lets you pick multiple files from your hard drive, then see how far along each one is as it’s uploaded. The new process makes it much easier for new users to move entire folders into Google’s cloud, which could be handy if, or rather when Google decides to open up Docs to more file types.
