Microsoft might not have control over it, but Dropbox will. For a business,
that is unacceptable - and rightly so, since it means important documents
go outside your perimeter. Instead they use a document management system
(like Sharepoint or Alfresco) that they install and manage centrally.
Unlike a wiki, a document management system gives full, normal document
management. Unlike a CMS it is all about documents, and unlike a LAN share
it does versioning and workflow.
Basically, Sharepoint is something for businesses. A normal user will never
need it.
I don't understand the relation between these propositions:
a) "Microsoft might not have control over it, but Dropbox will. For a
business, that is unacceptable..."
b) "Basically, Sharepoint is something for businesses."
is the point that it is better for a business that Microsoft hold
their documents than that Busybox does?
just seeking clarification.
(I have Busybox but don't use it for a number of reasons; I am not
acquainted enough with Sharepoint.)

Content Management System ;-) ... LAN ;-) ... a wiki ;-) ???
as to these - I haven't a clue; I'll continue to stick with the
KISs method ;-)
But if we each sign up to use DropBox, we can each end up with 6Gb
of free space to use as we wish in sharing documents -
and MsFt does not have any control over this :-)
