I use Google Drive for document sharing (between home and office and with other people too) - I didn't do very sophisticated things, but all scenarios I had, worked for me so never felt the urge to check out others...
1. Edit documents from everywhere
2. Share specific folders only (I had no problem to organize folders! It's seems to me native...)
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

They're usable enough on a PC, where you maintain a local copy of the files in a synched directory, but on android and itoys, they're only any good for view-only files.
Google docs, to give an example, has to be the worst word-processing device for documents that are to be edited on multiple devices.
Unless, of course:
0: You configure all your word processors on all possible devices to use exactly the same fonts, styles, encoding, etc. as the google docs defaults.
1: You don't use any advanced or complicated features at all (like any kind of numbering/tables/etc).
Spend an hour editing anything other than plain text on a mobile device, and you'll have to spend at least two hours fixing the file.
Fix things like that, and "the cloud" will become more usable -- but still not for anything important (for that, just share a drive, for Heaven's sake).

FYI - For those using Helpmaker 7.3 & 7.4
A recent patch from Microsoft, Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 11 for Window 7 for x64-based Systems (KB3003057), kills Helpmaker.
Removing this patch will fix the issue

1 Forgive your enemy nut remember the bastard's name.
2. Money can not buy happiness but it's more comfortable to cry in a Mercedes than on a bicycle.
3. Help someone when they are in trouble and they'll remember you when they're in trouble again.
4. Many people are alive only because it's illegal to shoot them.
5. Alcohol does not solve any problems, but then again, neither does milk.
These should assist you with most daily decision choices.

Yes it does! Have you ever tried to eat dry Weetabix?

Can't be worse than wet weetabix, which I'm fairly sure is not a food but something to be used in building walls.

Excuse me. I eat all my cereal dry. I particularly like crushed up (to a powder) Weetabix mixed with a couple of spoonfuls of sugar.

Well yes - but that's because you're a Scot, and not allowed to deep fry the buggers on an oil rig...

Weetbix, and vegemite..Yum

I much prefer dryer cereal to the toxic sludge produced by milk, and I also happen to like dry Weetabix with sugar, but for practical reasons I normally lubricate it just a little, with yoghurt. It doesn't soak in and make soggy.

I knew someone that ate them dry, spread with butter and jam.

oh yes, that combination again.
I once knew a German fella that poured fruit juice over his cereal and had a glass of milk at the same time.

Buttered Weetabix and jam was a staple of my childhood and we're from Hampshire!

... but I bet it wasn't deep-fried?

Where about do you live / work Carl? I live in Burton Latimer and work for a company called Marval who are situated between Kettering and Rothwell. They're a software company that provide ITIL / IT Service Management software and services.
And yes the factory certainly smells great

I live in Broughton and work in Oundle, so I drive on the A14. My sister used to leave in Burton Latimer so I know it fairly well.
It's an even smaller world than I first thought; I used to work for Marval! You're probably fixing my bugs as I type. Heh, good luck maintaining that SLA code Say hi to everyone from me

I drove through Broughton this morning as I'm trying to avoid the roadworks on the A14.
What are you up to in Oundle? I cycle through their regularly on my weekend rides.
P.S. Harshada says hello

Ha, good luck avoiding those roadworks
I work at United Learning (a school group) in Oundle. It's a nice part of the world Oundle, some nice cycle routes I can imagine. There's a guy here who commutes from Wellingborough by cycle.
Hi back to Harshada

A job agency sent me a job spec for a role at United Learning a few months ago. Looks like a nice place to work.
A small world indeed Carl

Which alcohol goes with Weetabix? Maybe a particularly malty ale?
