## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-12 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in the order I'd consider them for a remote team:
> 
> **1. Google Workspace (Drive + Shared Drives)** - The default I'd suggest for most remote teams under ~200 people. Real-time co-editing is still the best in class, nothing needs installing, search is good, and Shared Drives give you team-owned files instead of documents trapped in an ex-employee's account. Starts around $7/user/mo, with Enterprise tiers up to ~$22. Weakness: weak formal records management (retention, versioned approvals).
> 
> **2. Microsoft 365 + SharePoint/OneDrive** - The right pick if your team already lives in Teams, Excel, or Outlook, or if you're in a regulated industry. SharePoint is the strongest option on retention policies, granular permissions, and compliance (eDiscovery, sensitivity labels), and Teams integration means documents sit where conversations happen. $6-$99/user/mo depending on tier. Weakness: genuinely confusing information architecture - budget real time for setup, or it becomes a dumping ground.
> 
> **3. Notion** - Best if most of your "documents" are actually internal knowledge: processes, meeting notes, project specs, onboarding. Fast to set up, excel
