Abstract
A group communication system is disclosed. The group communication system integrates a number of electronic communication tools to meet various communication needs among registered users. The group communication system allows a group of users to participate in communications including internal mail, message exchanging and accessing files. When a member of a group shares a file with another member or members of the group, instead of sending a copy of the file directly to the members, the file is retained in a file store remotely located. Each of the members in the group gets notified of the availability of the file for sharing, thus avoiding distributing copies of the file to the members regardless they need it or not.
