Android Keystore File
I work in a team and will be uploading to the android store soon. Now I have put apps on the play store before, but this is the first time I do this with a team of people. So I just have quick questions (which I tried to search for hikes, but my search engine skills didn't work for me).
1 - I will download this application. I will be creating a Keystore file on my local machine. But what if one of my teammates wants to push update? Can I just send him a file?
2 - I understand that if we lose the file, we pretty much did it. But can we upload it to a private (but shared) folder with Dropbox or something?
3 - What if we create a new application? Can a team use the same file for all applications created in the team?
Thank.

Yes, if you send them a file, they can also sign the application.
2 - I understand that if we lose the file, we pretty much did it. But can we upload it to> personal (but shared) Dropbox folder or something?
Right. Make sure you have multiple copies of the file, but also make sure they are kept in very safe places.
3 - What if we create a new application? Can a team use the same file for all created apps> inside a team?
Yes, one keystore file can be used to sign multiple applications.

1- Yes, you can send your team members a keystore file anyway. Better to also send them the password used to create the keystore so it can be used.
2 Of course, just keep in mind to save where it will be safe. (i.e. not stolen / lost).
3- Key store can be used in all applications without any problem.
