## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-26 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> For remote teams, the honest first answer is: start with whatever productivity suite you already pay for, and only add a dedicated DMS when governance or external-collaboration needs outgrow it. Here's the order I'd actually recommend:
> 
> **1. Google Workspace (Drive + Shared Drives)** - Best default for most remote teams. The real-time co-editing in Docs/Sheets/Slides is still the best in the category, Shared Drives give you team-owned (not person-owned) files so nothing vanishes when someone leaves, and Business Standard is typically cheaper per seat than comparable mid-tier plans. Weakest on formal records management.
> 
> **2. Microsoft SharePoint / OneDrive** - The right pick if you're already on Microsoft 365, since it's effectively free with your licenses. Deepest integration (email attachments auto-filing to libraries, live metadata connections in Office apps) and the strongest metadata/retention model. The catch: it isn't a DMS out of the box - approval workflows, retention automation, and audit-ready reporting all need real configuration, and that admin time is the hidden cost.
> 
> **3. Dropbox Business** - The simplest thing that works. Team folders, a desktop client everyone alr
