## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-02 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> For a remote team, here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in order:
> 
> **1. Google Workspace (Drive + Docs)** - The default answer for most remote teams. Real-time co-editing is genuinely best-in-class, there's nothing to install, and sharing with people outside your org just works. Weakness: Drive's folder/permission model gets messy past ~50 people, and it's weak on formal records retention.
> 
> **2. Microsoft SharePoint / OneDrive (via Microsoft 365)** - The right pick if your team already lives in Office and Teams. Far stronger than Google on versioning, metadata, permissions, and compliance/retention policies. Trade-off: it needs someone to actually administer it, or it rots into a pile of unfindable sites.
> 
> **3. Dropbox Business** - Best if your pain is "files need to sync reliably across laptops in six time zones." Simplest setup of anything here, good admin controls, great with large media files. Less of a true DMS - thin on workflow and metadata.
> 
> **4. Box** - Where I'd go when you need real governance without a heavy enterprise rollout: granular permissions, retention, audit trails, workflow automation (Box Relay), and strong external-collaborator handling. Popular in reg
