Who has experience with Online web storage?
 

Our campany has setup a very crappy, inside the firewall, collaboration site. I'm working with several companies in Romania now, and I expect to be doing a lot of business with them. We need to store and work together on a lot of file, and some of them can be as large as 20-30 MB each (PDF files).

E-mailing is out of the question.

Here is what I want:

Basic File structure with sub folders
Secure Account access with restriction for some users (10-20 users should be enough)
Drag and drop interface
10Gb Storage, or more, but expandable

This one looks like it would work

Does anyone have any experience with others, and ones that might be cheaper?

There are a couple I know of, but I haven't tried them extensively. If you Google "online storage" a few come up. My worry would be the amount/size of files, and what sort of premium a company would charge if you need more online storage space.

BTW & FWIW: Apple hosts online storage.

Set up your own website and structure it so that you can upload and download from it. I FTP large files to and from my site all the time.

Tried the online storage sites and they were too expensive.

Linux box with sshd installed, a few user accounts (maybe control via group instead of user permissions) and port 22 open... Windows users can use WinSCP to access it, and it allows Explorer to have scp:// support...

What do you think that would cost with a 2x500 GB harddrives? I have an old Pentium III 1 GHZ machine, maybe I just install a couple Hard drive in that, install Linux and go?

I have a Network Box, which is supposed to be running Linux, which is web configurable. The problem is the FTP access is all or nothing for the FTP share. It's all Read/Write or all Read-only.

I did get the FTP up and running and will use that for the short term.

I use Microsft Apptix Sharepoint. $39 a month, 500 megs storage. Additional memory is something like $5 per hundred megs. Up to 50 members. Differenyt plans can have unlimited members with almost unlimited stirage. You can customize it to have chat rooms, discussion areas, internal email, and doc storage sorted by project. Calendar that can link to your Outlook calendar. It's pretty sweet.
