I would like to clarify that co-writing is fully supported. More than one user can write and edit shared documents at the very same time.

If you want to have a library of files, as you would on your computer, you'll end up with stacks of files. I recommend the Google Docs and Spreadsheets for present-day work that you would like to have easy accessible.

The good: Co-writing, support for common file types, easy to use and export files

The bad: No tree view of files in folders
