Today, Google launch one of the most requested Google Docs features — the ability to share folders. Google Docs has long ago let users share documents between one another, but they seems forgot folders–a feature added to Docs back in mid-2007.

Users have always been able to share files created in Google Docs. After putting some of us on edge by taking away the “Shared with” feature this past summer, the Docs team redeemed itself today by adding an option to let you share folders.

The benefit here is that the permissions settings for a shared folder controls the individual file permissions of all the documents inside of it, meaning that you don’t have to go through and change each document’s viewing permissions one at a time. It’s also an easy way to start working on a document, then share it with a select group of individuals without having to remember to invite them in the first place.

Once you’ve shared a folder, all of the items in the folder will be accessible to the group. You can also add someone to an existing shared folder to give them access to all of the folder’s content. Likewise, each item you add to the folder will be automatically shared. Just like with sharing documents, you can specify edit and view-only access for a folder.

Another big surprise, you can now upload multiple files to Google Docs at the same time, simplifying the process of transferring documents from your desktop to the cloud. Once your documents are in the cloud, you can access them from any device connected to the Internet or share them with people you choose. Google Docs can import Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, Powerpoints, and other files (with varying degrees of success), and now you can import batches of files faster than before.

Google Docs is also sporting a new coat of paint, with an updated look that makes the online suite look a lot like Google Voice. So if you like big buttons and shades of bluish purple, you’re in for a treat.
