Files

Sharing a folder essentially is sharing the files in the folder. The advantage is that when you share a folder this is a one time action. Any files added to the folder will take on the sharing permissions of the folder. In other words, if you share the folder is with Amy and later add a Google Doc inside the folder, Amy automatically is able to view the file in the folder. If Amy has editing rights on the folder, she will be able to edit the Google Doc added to the folder.
