Google isn’t the only company beefing up its collaboration features. Online file storage service Box.net has added a new “invite collaborators” button that lets you share the contents of any folder with other Box.net users.

So whether you’ve got a folder of images, Word documents, and other items that you want to share with a colleague, just right-click and enter the newsletter addresses of citizens you want to share the folder with. They’ll be able to open and edit the contents of the

folder. whether you just want to let them see the documents, but not edit them, you can grant “viewer” access.

Unlike Google Docs, Box.net does not offer its own applications for editing documents and spreadsheets. But using the OpenBox framework, you can edit any document stored at Box.net using Zoho’s online office applications.
