You might have been using Google Docs and spreadsheets to share the documents online. Generally the people you share the documents are from your office or from the same college.
Google introduces this new feature wherein you can share the document with anyone within the same organization and the people outside that organization won’t see that document.

This facility is good for those concerned about IP and confidentiality issues. As this Team Edition makes special case of sharing possible – like wanting to allow anyone at your company to view or edit a document, but not wanting to share with the world at large.

As per the blog post on the Official Google Docs blog,

“….we’re launching a new way to use Google Docs, along with other collaboration tools like Google Calendar and Talk, that optimizes all of those tools for members of the same organization. It’s called Google Apps Team Edition, and anyone with an email address from their work or school can sign up right now. There’s no hardware, software or setup involved, and no burden for IT administrators.
After confirming that you belong to a company or school, you can start collaborating with your group and invite others from your organization who haven’t joined yet. You can then start creating and sharing documents with your team members. Give it a try at www.google.com/apps.“

You will need to have a common organization to use this facility, like the same company, same team or same college or whatever and there should be a way to distinguish you from the world. What makes you unique is obviously your company, school or college email ids.
