E-mail is not well-suited for collaboration on projects as it does not effectively manage documents, leads to improper information sharing practices, and causes confusion in conversations. Effective collaboration platforms instead integrate with existing tools, provide easy accessibility across devices while ensuring security, and are intuitive to use in order to streamline project workflows and reduce information silos between team members.
