I've read all I can on sharing on the DropBox website and as far as I can tell there are two options:
1) Have a shared folder, but once you put more than 2GB of shared items in it you are stuffed as you fill up the free users' 2GB quota and they will each have to pay to increase their limit to 50GB too. We're already at 1.2GB so we'll hit that limit fairly soon. 2) Send a link to a shared file. But that is time-based. If I send a link today and you join tomorrow you won't have the link. So I have to send it again to you. Then I have to send it again, as well as all the preceding links to that person and anyone who joins 2 days after that. I could keep an email containing all the previous links and add to it but that's a bit tedious and it would be out of date when other members of the choir add files to the storage area. Way too much admin for me. It seems that the storage associated with the choir's existing Google group is only 100MB which is nowhere near enough and though Google's extra storage is cheap but is only for Google Docs unless I missed something which is quite possible as I found their endless options for Google this and Google that fairly confusing. So, I return to my original question: "So I'm just after a single chunk of space that everyone can access that can handle about 50GB - does such a beast exist?" If it doesn't, fair enough then I will have to get the choir c'ee to accept an alternative solution.
