Upload any file into Google Docs - All Google Apps users have 1GB of storage in Google Docs that can be used to upload any file, without converting it to Google Docs.
Folders and sub-folders - With the Create New button in the upper left of your Docs list, you can create folders to organize your content. Click on your newly created folder on the left hand side of your document list. While you’re there, you can click Create New again to make a sub-folder within the first folder.
Shared folders - Once you’ve created a folder, you can keep it for yourself, or share it with anyone. Right click on a folder, select Share, and choose the sharing option that best fits your need.
Managing document versions - Click on any file and select ‘Add or manage versions’ in order to upload and group different versions of the same document together.
Exporting your files - Users can easily export all the files in a folder. Just right-click the folder, choose Export, and click the Download button.
