Arguably one of the best (free) ways to collaborate from a distance, your Google Drive account will automatically save any content you create or edit using one of Google's alternatives to Microsoft Office tools above. Drive features include:

• You can sign up for a free Drive account with any email address - it doesn't have to be a Gmail account.
• Documents, spreadsheets, and presentations are stored online and can be accessed from any computer, anywhere and anytime.
• Multiple Drive users can access and edit the same document, spreadsheet, or presentation. Learn how here.
• There is a live chat function within Docs, Presentations, and Spreadsheets so you can collaborate in real time.
• You can create documents, spreadsheets and presentations in Google Docs, or upload existing Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents.
• iPhone and Android apps! Access all your stuff in the Drive app, and create and edit documents spreadsheets with new apps for Docs and Sheets.

 *You can make your Google Doc available to anyone by publishing it, without having to specifically invite people to view it.
