Google isn’t the only company beefing up its collaboration features. On the internet file storage service Box.net has added a new “invite collaborators” button that lets you share the contents of any folder with other Box.net users.
So if you’ve got a folder of images, Word documents, and other items that you want to share with a colleague, just right-click and enter the email addresses of people you want to share the folder with. They’ll be able to open and edit the contents of the folder. If you just want to let them see the documents, but not edit them, you can allow “viewer” access.
Unlike Google Docs, Box.net does not offer its own applications for editing documents and spreadsheets. But using the OpenBox framework, you can edit any document stored at Box.net using Zoho’s on the internet office applications.
