would be good to have a directory on a server in the building that we can just upload docs to and browse via ftp - should be easy to set up but wouldn't have that many features.  the only real feature i think would be important is really a non-feature - not being able to modify docs that are uploaded already, without some sort of admin login.

marc and other meshninoms - is there a server running that has extra space for this?

Ahah! That must be incredibly frustrating, with all the info everyones brain rams through each week.

I'll get on this today, if no one else has time ;)
Do you want to pm me with links to all the clouds, and info on permissioning, so I know what I'm looking for? (I.e. size, file types, security options, sharing, etc).

File organizing is my jam!

Dunno if you guys are still working on this, but I just found it burried in my inbox, and have been researching clouds all week. There a number of cloud services specifically for docs, which also have security and ease-of-use in mind.
Let me know if you found a solution to this already, or not!

Hey all!

 

I started going through the myriad drive folders that various documents are stored in to see if I could do some organizing. 

 

I am wondering if we can designate a central location for everything that is shareable. 

 

Certainly, there are some things that are more sensitive than others but it would be helpful to be able to point people to one place rather than to search through emails to find stuff. Perhaps we can designate different permissions for certain info (ie: financial stuffs)

 

It's starting to get difficult for me to find the most recent versions of things and I am sometimes not sure if I'm using the same docs as everyone else (For instance, is everyone using the same sheet when recording / tracking rentals? I have several versions!)

 

I don't care who the owner of this folder is or where it lives, personally. I just think that having everyone create and store shared docs on their own personal drives rather than in some central location creates serious confusion.

 

(I know that we used to have a central drive folder back in the day and at some point, a bunch of folders were moved / deleted and this caused some concern - maybe we keep an alias somewhere that gets backed up semi regularly?) 

 

Do people have thoughts on this? Preferences for how / where things should be stored?

 

I am more than willing to take on the task of organizing everything, I just want us all to be on the same page re: where that should be.
