One of the critical parts of collaboration is for group members to be able to access communal storage space in order to share new resources and manage different contributions of group members. For example, a teacher can ask students working on a group project to share the links to the various resources they found on the web and use a social bookmarking Web 2.0 tool called Symbaloo. This way, students and the teacher are all able to see and access the final set of resources. 
Other ways to share and manage resources are through a Web 2.0 tool called Dropbox. Where various types of files and media can be stored as well as shared with a group of people. 
Web 2.0 tools like Wiki Dot allow users to create real time editing space for both text and multimedia files.

You may also want a large enough space to store the pictures. Google Drive allows users to store and organize various types of documents and multimedia files and gives users plenty of space in a free account. You can also share the files and folders as links. OneDrive is another great online storage service from Microsoft that allows users to store and organize various types of documents and multimedia files.
