It is designed for collaboration, allowing teams to easily share schedules and request meetings with one another.

Google Drive

Google Docs/Sheets

Google Docs and Google Sheets allow you to create and edit text documents and spreadsheets in your browser. You can simply import documents to make them editable in real-time with chat features and the ability to provide comments on documents. While these Google equivalents of Word and Excel lack some of the complexity of their MS counterparts, Docs and Sheets are second to none in ease of collaboration and version control across multiple users.
