I work in a team and will be uploading to the Android play store soon. Now I have pushed apps to the play store before on my own, but this is my first time doing it within a team of people. So I just have quick questions (of which I tried googling for, but I guess my googling skills failed me).
1 - I will be uploading this app. I will be creating the Keystore file on my local machine. But what if one of my team members wants to push an update? Can I just email him the file?
2 - I understand if we lose the file, we are pretty much done. But can we upload it to a private (but shared) dropbox folder or something?
3 - What if we create a new app? Can the team use the same file for all of the apps created within the team?
Thanks.

Yes, If you send them the file, they will be able to sign the app as well.
2 - I understand if we lose the file, we are pretty much done. But can we upload it to a >private (but shared) dropbox folder or something?
Right. Make sure you have multiple copies of the file, but also make sure that they are stored in very secure locations.
3 - What if we create a new app? Can the team use the same file for all of the apps created >within the team?
Yes, one keystore file can be used to sign multiple apps.
