Above is a link to a great video on why you should use Google Docs and not email to share and edit files. Collaboration requires everyone to "be on the same page." If you send a document via email to several collaborators to make changes to however you now have several copies of that document that need to be combined into one. Google Docs eliminates needless redundancy and creates one document that several collaborators can edit.

In a classroom environment for example, we can use this newfound collaboration to instantly update or give students feedback on documents they are working on, as they are working on them! The possibilities are endless!
