This gives you a bit more control over your content and protects you.</p>\r\n<p>A more advanced extension of Google Drive for larger businesses is <a href=\"https://cloud.google.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Google Cloud</a> which looks like one of the most reliable cloud and collaboration solutions (<a href=\"https://www.sitegeek.com/google\" target=\"_blank\">According to <i>SiteGeek</i></a>, it's uptime is over 93% and <a href=\"http://www.techrepublic.com/article/google-is-winning-the-cloud-pricing-and-performance-war/\" target=\"_blank\">according to <i>TechRepublic</i></a>, its price is unbeatable).</p>\r\n<h3><a href=\"http://myblogu.com/\"><strong>MyBlogU</strong></a></h3>\r\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https://ccm.business.com/assets/871727646/569c3cdd3087b1b9015922b0/tools-collaborate-writers-02.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"603\"></p>\r\n<p>Sometimes collaboration is more about gathering content than having assistance in writing and editing it. <i>MyBlogU</i> is a unique platform that gives you access to other experts in various categories.</p>\r\n<p>You can pull quotes, ask questions, and <a href=\"http://smallbiztrends.com/2014/07/find-experts-to-interview.html\" target=\"_blank\">create collaborative interviews</a>. Make connections with potential writing partners and guest posters. It is a way to create strong, interesting content using the collective force of an entire community.</p>\r\n<p>This is one of the latest ideas to expand on the idea of crowdsourcing, and it is awesome.</p>\r\n<h3><a href=\"https://draftin.com/\"><strong>Draft</strong></a></h3>\r\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https://ccm.business.com/assets/871727646/569c3cf22f87b15c1a5922ab/tools-collaborate-writers-03.png\" alt=\"Draft collaborate\" width=\"600\" height=\"410\"></p>\r\n<div id=\"ad_leaderboard\" style=\"text-align: center;\"> </div>\r\n<p>Draft is a super simple collaboration tool that is aimed at version control. But it also allows you to give versions to editors for archived changes, compare old and new writings, The most popular future is \"Hemingway Mode.\"</p>\r\n<p>According to the creator of Draft, Hemingway once said to \"Write Drunk, Edit Sober.\" He took this idea to heart, though not in the literal sense. Instead, he emphasized how different the process of writing and editing really is, and how the two do not mix.</p>\r\n<p>When you turn on Hemingway Mode, you will not be able to edit anything you write. This forces you to barrel on without getting hung up on things like mistakes, wording, tense, or grammar. You are just getting the words onto the page, and you can edit when you are done. It is a brilliant tip and one reason that Draft is especially excellent for creative writers that are overly critical of their work.</p>\r\n<h3><a href=\"https://redbooth.com/\"><strong>Redbooth</strong></a></h3>\r\n<p><strong><img class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https://ccm.business.com/assets/871727646/569c3d713087b1f8015922b6/tools-collaborate-writers-04.png\" alt=\"Redbooth collaborate\" width=\"600\" height=\"393\"></strong></p>\r\n<p>Do you work for a company or team that creates content as a department outsourcing project? Or maybe you manage a team of writers from around the world and need a way for you all to remain in communication?</p>\r\n<p>Redbooth is a good tool for that purpose, though less of one for those looking for creative tools. It isn't just a writing platform, but a full business management platform. So you can delegate workflow, manage project tasks, monitor productivity and more from one place. All on a private cloud that protects your company's interests.</p>\r\n<h3><a href=\"https://www.penflip.com/\"><strong>Penflip</strong></a></h3>\r\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1594/23820726314_e84448d72a_o.gif\" alt=\"Penflip collaborate\" width=\"600\" height=\"228\"></p>\r\n<p>Easily distracted writers rejoice!
