Channels for mentoring

Does anyone care to share opinions on what kind of channels are useful for communication between mentors and mentees of talks and posters ? Perhaps mentors/ees from 2017 ?

My first thought is email + Dropbox or similar.

Probably Slack. I find that the best mentoring is helping someone get situated in the larger community.

Good idea. I imagine both direct messaging and a mentoring channel would be useful… But, it can be a bit of work to get around the “out of space” messages when posting pdfs and the like

Stick the PDF on Google drive or Dropbox etc and just public link it?

Yeah that sounds good. Google drive / Dropbox + slack for chatting.
