+1 for Dropbox. Dropbox for Teams looks interesting as well. -Carl V. On 12/14/2012 9:50 AM, Cameron Childress wrote: On Fri, Dec 14, 2012 at 12:36 PM, John M Bliss bliss.j...@gmail.com wrote: Hi!

Re: (ot) Windows Mesh Alternatives
Hi! Currently, my geographically dispersed company uses Windows Mesh as a network drive for shared office files. Microsoft has announced that Mesh is going away to be replaced by SkyDrive. Before we migrate to SkyDrive, I thought I'd poll the list to see if any of you might have another (better?) alternative. I'm a big fan of Google Drive, primarily because I'm also a big fan of Google Apps generally. The nice thing about switching to Apps and using Drive is that you end up with a single security infrastructure for mail and documents, but you really only get that value if you're also switching your mail to Apps. There's nothing stopping you from using Google Drive separately with public Google accounts, or purchasing Apps licenses to use Google Drive with domain accounts. But I really came in here to suggest box.com. They really seem to have the best overall solution out there, as far as I can tell.

Re: (ot) Windows Mesh Alternatives
I'm a big fan of Google Drive, primarily because I'm also a big fan of Google Apps generally. 1++ I nutted up for the 80 gig plan and it has worked great so far. It has simple versioning which I am rather fond of. I can pick up where I left off from multiple locations and not have to worry about keeping multiple versions synced. G!

Re: (ot) Windows Mesh Alternatives
One more caveat: Windows Mesh allows for peer-to-peer *only* (i.e. no (apparent) storage of sensitive files on MSFT servers.) Anyone know whether any of the already-mentioned services allows for that and/or can think of another alternative that does?
