This paper aims to analyse student's opinion about their experiences of being working collaboratively in Wikispace and GoogleDrive tools.
Results show that almost all students knew about wiki and only half of them knew about Google Drive. Despite this, students have considered that both tools are not difficult to use. In general, students agree that Google Drive is better and easier for organizing knowledge and learning collaboratively than Wikispace.
