Team collaboration in creating documents very common in organizations. More often than not, draft documents are circulated as email attachments. That's fine if there's just two people collaborating. But for bigger teams, email circulation makes it nearly impossible to see, who's doing what, and which version of the draft document is the "current" best version?
Shared hard disks on a network server, fail to address this gap. Employees perceive network shares as an extension of their private PC drive. Everyone has their own folder structures that are inaccessible for everybody else. Even if there's a shared team folder, it doesn't work very well. It's easy to accidentally overwrite and destroy somebody else's work, without an undo option. Additionally, there's no way to track changes and make sure that the copy you're checking out is the most recent and relevant version of a file.
