Re: First year sketching
i'm a bit late to this party, but oh well...
Solidworks has a feature called Workgroup PDM, and it basically stores all of the files into a "vault" that you can organize in any manner. No two people can work on the same file at once, but it can be opened by anyone at any time for reference. in order to work on the model or drawing you have to obtain ownership. it prevents two people from overwriting each other, all though i'm not entirely sure if i'd consider it practicle for anything FRC really. It depends on the size of your CAD team. But where i work we use this feature and i'm pretty sure it saves hours of time and prevents complications. If your CAD team is only 3 or 4 members i'd keep it local or use google drive as long as they communicate with each other.
Everything depends on the situation your team is in, and every team is in a different situation.
I'd be happy to help if you have any questions. Feel free to PM me if you want.
