Yes, I probably could do that. It feels hackish, but I suppose it does meet my stated requirement.

With regard to the drive mapping requirement, couldn't you map a P: drive to %userprofile%\DropBox or whatever it maps to?

I know DropBox has made some progress with that, but I really want to be able to assign permissions similar to what I can do on a normal file server. 2. Drive letter access. I know this seems like a small thing, but users have trouble understanding anything other than "The shared folders are the P: drive". "The shared folders are on the folder called 'Dropbox' in your profile" is difficult for some (and it causes problems with shortcuts). I'd be willing to sacrifice some of the efficient syncing that Dropbox offers for those two features.

I'm doing a study on EFS (enterprise file syncing products) and I'd be interested to know what products people use/prefer/hate/etc. I'd also be interested to hear what features the list considers necessary to such products, and also maybe whether those you use have or don't have said important features. Not looking for a load of information - basic stuff will suffice. Personally, I use DropBox, and obviously price:storage ratio is the most obvious thing to consider - just thought I'd throw it out (again!) and see if anyone is willing to share a few bits of info to help me out.
