What are Facebook group Files? 

Facebook allows group members to work together in creating documents while on the group page. Any member can create a document; once you create the document, any other member of the group can add to the information, edit another member’s work or leave comments.

A lesser known (and therefore less used) feature of Facebook groups is that you can upload files and share them with the group members. This feature is relatively new. Earlier group members were only allowed to create documents using group’s facility. But now you can upload any type of files (jpg, png, doc, pdf etc.) into the group.

The beauty of this feature is that you can upload revision of an already uploaded file (the older version of the file will also be available for the group members to see!)
