Keeping up with family, your business department, former classmates, or friends around the country has never been easier than with Google Groups. The online, remote collaboration platform lets you and your fellow members share photos, work on documents, and plan get-togethers.

Google gives users the option to make a group where people can add themselves, request to be added, or only be added through invitation. There's no limit to the number of people who can be in a group either, so you can add as many people as you want.

If you own a Google Group or there's a Google Group you want to add someone to, here's how to do it.
