“New” button in the upper left hand corner, select “Folder” and add the
name of the folder. Now just drag and drop any document into it or add
one document to multiple folders.

I’ve been using Picasa (Google) Web Albums for a while as an easy way to share photos with friends. It’s ridiculously simple to upload large numbers of photos (through Picasa). Since I also use Gmail I also have full access to my email address list when sharing my photos with family and friends.
If that weren’t enough, they kind folks at Google have now QUADRUPLED storage per account to 1GB. Did I mention it’s free?
