With today's rollout of college collaboration tool "Groups For Schools", Facebook gets nostalgic for Zuck's Wirehog and lets students share un-copyrighted files up to 25mb. Soon all US colleges and then those around the world will be able to create groups fordorms, classes, and clubs that can only be joined by people with that school's ".edu" email address. The idea is that you'll share more nerdy or racy content if it'll only reach your classmates.We broke the newsin December of Facebook first testing Groups For Schools at Brown and Vanderbillt, but it's made several tweaks, including easier messaging between classmates and a better-converting onboarding flow that shows your friends who are already signed up and auto-creates groups for your dorm, clubs and more. If Facebook gets serious about file sharing, it could become a competitor, or potential acquirer of Dropbox.
