Several of the best collaboration apps out there are file-sharing and editing tools. That means they allow you to store files in the cloud, where multiple team members can access, view, and/or edit them simultaneously.
Here are a few of the best file-sharing and editing tools available:
Microsoft 365
Google Drive
Dropbox
1. Microsoft 365

Price: $8.25+ per user per month
Microsoft 365 stands out on this list because it’s more than just one tool — it’s actually a full suite of Microsoft offerings. Those offerings include Microsoft Office products like Word and Excel, but they also incorporate other business collaboration software (including Teams, which we talked about earlier).
The reason we’re listing Microsoft 365 here is that it leverages the cloud to let you easily share and co-edit documents. That means multiple people can access the same Word document or PowerPoint presentation without having to manually transfer the file between computers.
2. Google Drive

Price: Free, or $6+ per user per month for more storage
The Google alternative to Microsoft 365 is Google Workspace, headed up by Google Drive. You might already be familiar with Drive — it lets you store files in the cloud that can then be accessed by your whole team. Google Drive is also interconnected with tools like Google Docs and Google Sheets.
Technically, Drive is free — at least, for individual users. If you want more storage, though, or if you want to set up a shared drive for your business, you’ll need to use a paid subscription plan. Those start at $6 per user per month.
