    We're a small business and are looking for an inexpensive way to share files between our computers. Someone suggested iGoogle. I've done some preliminary "googling" on the subject but am not really finding anything. Is there an faq or such that anyone can point me to?

    Or, are there other types of internet-based servers I might otherwise look at?

    Thanks!

    I use Jungledisk but I'm considering switching to Mozy.....jungledisk has a mounted network drive but its a bit slow.

    I'm use Mobile Me but its worthless on a PC.

    I've used Google docs for some things I got tired of emailing around. Works fine. What OSs are you using?

    Can you sync a backup of Google Docs locally?

    There are some NAS products that are good... I use Windows Home Server for my home network for file sharing and honestly... it would be really sweet for a small business. Sharing files and managing storage is a breeze... plus you can backup all the PC. Despite the name... it would be very nice for a small business. HP and others offer systems with it preinstalled... but you can install on any PC easy enough. I think it is cheaper than a copy of Windows 7 too. There are other options for sure... but I was shocked how easy it was to setup and configure.

    Thank You. I'll look into that.

    BTW, sorry I missed hooking up with you at the beach. I was really looking forward to having that beer @ McMenamins!
