Community maintained structure   Users maintain the structure within which they store and share information, allowing them to rapidly develop a system that meets their requirements.

Familiar file/folder/drive metaphor   Information appears in familiar nested folders, making files easy to manage and find.

• Objects (e.g., collections, documents, bulletin boards, etc.) can have long descriptive names, brief summary fields, and abstracts for easy browsing.
  
  
• Objects can appear in multiple locations for easier file organization.
  
  
• View and print documents from your web browser without opening or even requiring the source application.
  
  
• Browse for information using DocuShare's "bird's eye view" of collections, similar to the Windows Explorer directory tree.
  
  
• Hyperlinks between associated documents take you right where you want to go.
