9 Next Generation Collaboration Apps for Sharing Images & Documents

FreelanceSwitch - The Freelance Blog: "In the last few years we’ve seen an explosion in new awesome tools for freelancers including project management apps, invoicing apps, time management apps and to-do lists. One type of app that I think is particularly awesome is the collaboration app. These services allow you to upload images, documents and in some cases videos and flash, and then you, your client and anyone else working on the project can discuss and annotate the work.In the last few years we’ve seen an explosion in new awesome tools for freelancers including project management apps, invoicing apps, time management apps and to-do lists.

Like this article said, some of these apps are very convenient for those in an industry where collaboration is necessary, but I still think that it will always be important for people to sit down and collaborate as a unit in a meeting, where feedback can be shared by word of mouth, and not electronically. These apps would be helpful in that case by allowing the group members to do some collaboration and editing before-hand, but they shouldn't be an attempt to replace group meeting altogether.
