Gmail
One of the main features of Google Apps is Sharing. The new concept of file sharing is to reduce the amount of attachments and having multiple copies of a single document. Managing these documents to have a final version at the end can be a big headache. File Sharing and Real Time collaboration makes your work more effective and efficient.
By default, every time you share a document with a collaborator, he/she will receive an email containing a link to access the file with your message if you entered one.
As you know you can specify if you want the collaborator to View, Edit or Comment only on your document.

Photos
Lets say you have just returned from a corporate retreat or some other business event with a bunch of photos. Now you want to share all of these pictures among your co-workers only and tag them securely without letting all the internet know about it.
With Google Plus Photos you can safely upload and share your photos within your organization only without worrying about the public.
When you go to your Google Plus page, under “Share What’s new” click on Photos, a pop up window will appear (See picture above). You can either add photos from your old Google+ photos or upload new pictures from your computer or even drag and drop photos to this pop up.
Next, you can specify with whom you want to share these photos, based on your Organization’s preferences, Sharing can be limited to within your organization only. By default, your organization’s name will appear in the “To” box. You can select more co-workers individually if you want them to receive an email notification about it.
If you want to check your previously uploaded photos or albums, you can easily go to the left menu and select Photos.
