Why we like it
It’s simple and intuitive to use, all your project artifacts on one page! Basecamp allows for collaboration on a project with a trail of messages and uploads that allow anyone to get in loop on a new-to-them project in an instant. All interactions through basecamp are conveniently sent to your email so you don’t miss a beat. With automated updates it keeps you up to date on your work items and reminds you when an item you are associated with is almost due.

The less files and back-and-forth, the better! Google docs make it easy to upload or compose a file and store on the cloud for collaboration.
