I am pretty sure google doesn't have filesharing, other then it's documents. 
You might be able to do something with its pages function. 

You also might want to look at Zoho, it is very similar to google apps, but has 
a few other options which might be closer to what you are looking for. It 
doesn't have a briefcase, but you can upload non-office files using the 
planner. 

A combonation of Zoho or google apps with Yahoo briefcase 
(http://briefcase.yahoo.com/bc//home) may be a good solution.

Does Google offer some sort of document repository? (Besides 
Word/Excel/Powerpoint documents).

I'd recommend Gogole Apps as well. I haven't used Zimbra so I can't compare. 
We've been using Apps since the general release, over a year now. We only have 
four users at the moment, but the collaboration features in Apps are very nice.

I would recommend Google Apps for domains. We have been using it for about 4 
months and I have been very pleased with it. Fewer headaches in terms of 
maintaining the system.

I just moved my school to Zimbra. I like the interface, it is a full web-based 
collaboration suite, with calendars, briefcase's (this is your file shareing), 
tasks, documents (kinda like a light version of google docs), and more. There 
is an Free OpenSource version or you can pay for a support package. 

I'd put it on the list to look at.

I am helping a good friend of mine review his options for collaboration between 
tech savvy users that are collaborating on projects over the intarwebs. They 
have a few objectives: 

1. Manage coverage of a physical facility/project (Ie, bill is on from 9-2, sam 
is on from 1-5-- fairly simple) 
2. Manage sales calendars (again, fairly simple -- nothing too complex) 
3. Share files between users 
4. Have a forum for discussion. 

Bonus points for a solution that integrates nicely with a Wiki, CRM, etc. 

They don't have a deticated server of any sort -- just a standard run of the 
mill hosting package for their existing website. We sat down today and hacked 
at Joomla and EGroupware, and EGroupware seems to be pretty close to what they 
need (its ugly and slightly cludgey though). 

We are no against integrating software packages (the Joomla hackery we did 
integrated a Google calendar to meet goals 1 and 2) -- but failed horribly at 
3, and . well.. at that point we kicked it to the curb.
