Online collaboration offers limitless possibilities for today’s modern worker.

Synchronization, file sharing, collaborative editing, and discussion boards are just a few features you can have in a single collaborative tool. However, one’s collaborative needs can go beyond these. 

For instance, the latest in online collaboration, Google Wave, has merged email, wikis, IM, and social networking together in order to bridge the communication gaps--however tiny, that are still prevalent with online collaboration (eg. missed emails, editing discrepancies, time gaps between file versions, etc.).

Google Wave’s super-connected nature has won over millions of users looking for such a solution. But the service is accessible by invite only. 

If you need something just as versatile and rich in features, never fear.  There are a number of great alternatives that can offer up a handful of features that supersede the average file host.  

To prove it, here are 10 that will definitely suit your modern tech needs and preferences.
