My co-op board decided last night to find a way to store and edit files online so that we don’t have to constantly ask each other documents and end up with different versions of the same one. Can anyone suggest a cheap, effective, and safe method of storing files online that can be viewed by multiple people?

  1. I’m on my co-op board and use Google Docs exclusively to share/store docs and collaborate with my fellow board members.

  2. If it’s a lot of folks, you might want to look at pbwiki. Costs $10 a year for 100+ subscribers and is a well thought out wiki- just uses WORD as the writing tool, and it’s very easy to upload documents, file them, make comments, share stuff, etc. We use it at work, and I like it because it’s so easy to teach everyone to use. They’re also really easy to contact and helpful (what an infomercial! but I like ’em.)

  3. Oh my goodness yes. Google Docs. Takes a minute to set up, is free, can be viewed by groups, and can be viewed remotely and/or from a mobile phone with Web access.

    I couldn’t have renovated my house without it. I keep all my house info in a file there, and could look up a workman’s contact info on the stoop if they didn’t show, measurements, etc.

  4. Google docs is an option. It’s free. Not sure how safe, but you’d have to trust them to keep to the “don’t be evil” principle.

  5. Rhymes with Floogle. 7 GB online storage, file sharing, website creation. Free. Soul to devil, but great perks.
