Group Project Folder Tips

[Darkclone]

Hi All,

 

First post on here, I am not sure if it's ok to ask this in this section but:

 

I have a group assignment for university and want to make some kind of free accessible folder that all team members can at least download the files from and that I can update easily as needed. It will mainly be PDF and Docx files. I'm pretty sure I could do something with google drive or the the outlook version but I am looking for tips on if that's the best way to do it or if there are easier options (aka if I used google drive do i have to share each individual file?).

 

So yeah any tips on the best options to use would be awesome please.

 

Thanks all :)

Drive is your best bet as its free and everyone has a google account. Sharing feature works great, as long as no one fucks it up. You can make one folder shareable and everything inside with will also follow this permission.

 

Onedrive is also a fair option, has about the same features

Thanks a heap for the quick reply, can I make a folder specifically for the project and share the whole folder and then whenever anyone accesses it it will have the most recent files in it or do I need to reshare the folder each time I change documents in it?

I updated my original post with this info, guess you beat me to the trigger

 

Share the parent folder that houses the project files, and everything inside will follow the same permissions. You won't have to share it again.

Google Drive, DropBox, or OneDrive are the simplest solutions for you. Personally, I like DropBox because it's the easiest to use, but Drive and OneDrive both give you online office applications to edit right from the drive.
