## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-04 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Worth splitting the question, because "document management" means two different things and buying the wrong category is the usual mistake: (a) a place to write and collaborate on docs, and (b) a repository to store, version, and control files. Here's what I'd actually recommend:
> 
> ## If you want one suite to cover 80% of it
> 
> **1. Google Workspace** - My default for most remote teams. Google Docs/Sheets/Slides are still the benchmark for live co-editing with multiple cursors and no lag, Drive handles storage, and sharing links "just work" with outside parties. Starts around $7/user/month. Weak spot: if you need formal records management, retention schedules, or multi-step approval chains, you'll outgrow it.
> 
> **2. Microsoft 365 / SharePoint** - The right answer if your team already lives in Office or has compliance obligations. SharePoint document libraries give you real version control, granular permissions, retention policies, and co-authoring inside Teams/Outlook. It's heavier to set up and genuinely needs someone to own the information architecture, or it becomes a junk drawer.
> 
> ## If you need a real repository, not a suite
> 
> **3. Box** - Pick this when documents move through *proc
