I've certainly thought about, my concerns:
1. It would be a little tougher for techs. It shouldn't be, but I just
know it will. They are independent; roughly 5000 of them. They
shouldn't
have to install something in order to send us pics/workorders/etc.
2. Organization. There is no way to be able to sort the mass
amounts of
docs we receive every day. With something YouSendIt-ish that is email
based, the submitter is forced to create a useful description, making it
easier for us to determine the tech name, project, and site.
We do have a really sleek Project Database that my wonderful
developer has
created, and it allows uploads, and automatically files them for each
tech/project/site. However, you can only upload 1 file at a time.
Ideally,
we need to create a Java-like interface to upload multiple files at
once.
I've seen many pre-made solutions for this that would work great.
Thanks for chiming in with the advice, it's always welcome.

Like the recommendations here, been looking to implement an FTP

For your own field techs, why not just an (S)FTP server?
I mean, I can understand the need for pretty web GUIs when interfacing
with the general public, but presumably you can just give your own
people a
canned Filezilla config or something along those lines.
