You can create shared folders if you’d like to share a group of related items. To create a folder, first select Folder from the Create new drop-down menu.

Enter a name for your folder (and a description and color, if you’d like) and click Save.

To add items to your shared folders, you can drag the doc from your Docs list to the folder (it’s listed in the navigation pane on the left of your docs). You can also select the checkbox next to the item in question and click the folder from the Folders drop-down menu.

Sharing a folder with someone is an easy way to give someone access to the docs within your folder. Just click My folders in the navigation pane on the left of your docs, select the folder you’d like to share, click the Share drop-down menu, and select Invite people…

Enter the email addresses of anyone you’d like to have access to your folder and click Send to send them an email with a link to your folder. Click Add without sending invitation if you don’t want to send them the notification.

Note: when you share a folder, the new permissions are pushed to all sub-folders and docs within the folder. Normally this happens quickly, but occasionally, it could take a couple of minutes.

Here’s an example of how access permissions work with shared folders:

Say that I create a document and share it with Julian, and then add it to Folder1. If I then share Folder1 with Camille, the document will be shared with both Julian and Camille.

Folders that are shared will appear in your Docs list with an icon to distinguish them from folders that aren’t shared with others. The folders you share appear in the ‘My folders’ section.

Folders others share with you will appear in the ‘Folders shared with me’ section underneath ‘My folders.’

Quizás, un anticipo de lo que podría convertirse en uno de los anuncios más formidables de los últimos años. Si hoy Google comunica que está preparando un sistema operativo, sería la primera vez en quince años, desde el OS/2 Warp de IBM en 1994, que una compañía de este calibre se enfrenta a Microsoft en su propio terreno.

Según supo LA NACION, y el clarin el  rumor extendido en el mundo tecnológico hoy pasó a un hecho concreto de la realidad. La guerra entre los dos gigantes de Internet –Microsoft y Google—llegará hoy a su nivel máximo de expresión, cuando Google anuncie oficialmente que está preparando su propio sistema operativo para PC, con el que piensa competir directamente contra el corazón del negocio de su rival, Microsoft.

El nuevo sistema operativo se llama Google Chrome y estará listo, en una versión preliminar para netbooks (pequeñas notebooks dedicadas a la Web) a fines de este año.
