Google Docs adds folder sharing

Increasingly collaborative, as seems to be the motto of Google for its Google Docs. Thus, if the user is already able to share a document or publish it on the internet it is now possible to share an entire folder containing different types of documents (texts, spreadsheets, presentations ...) . This new feature was implemented in response to user suggestions posted here.

Once the file is created, simply right click to bring up the contextual menu and choose Sharing. The user is then able to invite contacts from their choice or making the public record accessible from a specific URL. Note that licensing is easier since they are allocated for the whole package and not for each document.

In addition to some cosmetic changes, also note the possibility of uploading multiple documents in one go.
