Ok started playing around with Groove for work as a document storage system or something at least better then what we are currently using.  We don't have a groove server or anything setup, just different people sharing files via groove.

Anyways a couple of questions:
1.  Where do the documents get saved?  Can I change that folder?
2.  What about search, can I use Window Desktop Search to search those folders and files?
3.  Can I have a document in Groove stored in multiple folders or "tagged" somehow?

Anywyas just looking for some help in Groove, any where to point me?

Thanks

I used the previous version of Groove before MSFT aquired it for $82M.

It's a nice system. I wish the groove workspace could be backwards compatible.

The best part is having the chat system and the project management system linked together. So if you are chatting with somebody, then you know that the tasks can be viewed at the same time.

There are a few open source projects that do project management, but not with integrated chat and whiteboard like groove.

Depending on your access rights, you should be able to create, rename, and move folders in the file tab.

The biggest question is can I use Windows Desktop Search to search Groove files?  Or do I have to purchase a 3rd party product?
