For:jesper.schumacher@ou.nl. Shared folders and multiple file upload in Google Docs. 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.
Join this group: Google Groups joins Google Apps. Blogs, wikis, social networks, YouTube and Twitter are changing how many of us connect with others. Yet within most businesses, especially large corporations, the software hasn't evolved much over the last decade. While traditional business technologies give companies the necessary security and controls, they do so at the expense of rapid innovation. Businesses shouldn't have to make this compromise. This is one reason why customers are so enthusiastic about Google Apps. Today, we're happy to announce the launch of Google Groups to Google Apps Premier and Education Edition users. Google Groups is a boon for IT administrators too.
Google Groups is just one of the many consumer features that we've tailored for the enterprise since we launched Google Apps for businesses nearly three years ago, and we're looking forward to bringing more innovation to our customers in the months and years ahead. Google Wave opent aanval op Sharepoint. Nieuws - Met Google Wave wil Google alle diensten samenvoegen. Developers krijgen direct toegang tot de potentiële Sharepoint-killer. Wave is het equivalent van het Zwitsers zakmes dat alle webdiensten samenbrengt op een plek. In Wave worden bestaande Google-diensten als Gmail, Google Docs, Google Talk, Picasa, Blogger en Sites samengebracht. Ook is er plek voor externe diensten als Twitter en spelletjes als Sudoku. Wave laat gebruikers documenten maken waarin meerdere participanten tekst, multimedia, applicaties en feeds kunnen toevoegen, op een manier die doet denken aan instant messaging.
De dienst slaat ook vorige versies op, dus gebruikers kunnen terugbladeren naar oude 'golven'. De samenwerkingsmogelijkheden van Wave maken het een potentiële Sharepoint-killer. Lars Rasmussen, een van de ontwikkelaars die circa twee jaar aan Wave heeft gewerkt, verwacht dat de dienst een grote impact zal hebben. [gadget][/gadget] ICT-stages HsZuyd.
