> but G Docs is so much better for collaborating

Did you try MS Teams + Office 365?. I can share documents with my colleagues and collaborate on the same document.

When Teams first came out, I was among the early decriers (Slack and Zoom were SOOOoooooo much better for chat and video-conferencing/screen-sharing it wasn't funny)

(Kinda like when Slack came out, it was so much worse than HipChat, it wasn't funny)

Then the integrations started popping-up (or being publicized? not sure which is the more correct term) for everything MS-related (Word, Calendar, Excel, PowerBI, Sharepoint...)

The chat functionality of Teams still leaves some to be desired (especially the ultrajanky and inconsistent notification feature) - but the videoconferencing, screensharing, and O365 integrations are fantastic

not really tbh. do they need a office365 account to comment and edit?
I'm not 100% sure as I don't collaborate with people outside my org. I am assuming that is doable based on their doc https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/solutions/col...
