Google Updates: Google Docs Updated with Easier Folder Sharing Feature

Google is increasingly rolling out some new updates to the Google Docs service. These updates will make it much easier to share files inside folders and make it easier for groups to collaborate also work together on particular Google Docs files.

Sharing a group of items or files is now simply done just by putting those items into a folder and then sharing that folder to all the members of your working group. Once you shared a folder, something that you add in that folder will automatically be shared. Similarly, if you add someone to the list of people who can right to use that folder they can immediately access all the items contained in that folder. This means that you don’t have to share files one at a time anymore.

In addition to sharing folders, Google has also made it easier to upload more than one item to Google Docs. Google Docs’ new upload pages now allow you to select multiple files and upload all of them collectively at the same time.


An additional update on Google Docs has something to do with the “Items Not in Folder.” Moreover here are the instances while files are categorized as such:

• When you create a new item or an item that is directly shared to you and it is in “Items not in folders”.

• When an item is shared to you through a folder and it is not in “Items not in folders”.


• When you append an item to a folder and it will no longer be in “Items not in folders”.


• When you eliminate an item from all its folders and it will once again be in “Items not in folders”.


Finally, Google has also slightly tweaked the Google Docs interface. Some changes on colors, spacing and buttons were also made.

In general, these could just be some minor enhancements but you will appreciate these enhancements if you are a big time user of Google Docs.
