I may be answering my own question. Short amount of research shows that Google Drive seems to offer the largest free option with 15 GB of storage. It also gives the same level of sharing and access options that dropbox currently gives us and it’s all free.
Does anybody have any violent objections to trying this out? If so, please speak up otherwise I’ll create a Test account using the same details as our dropbox and ask people to participate in a short trial.
In fact, if you want to try it out, here is a sample shared link, to a folder that will mimic what’s in our shared dropbox folder….

Google Drive: Sign-indrive.google.com

Me again,

So while doing the Admin on our dropbox service, its clear will soon run out of space on the standard 2Gb storage facility we have at the moment, which is free... (We have about 250Mb left....)

There are 3 things we could do here:

1)    We cull out previous years notes, minutes, pictures etc etc, this will free up 1.3Gb  which should be fine, even with all the music, ads and jingles we upload for Shared access to DJ's. But this will give us the problem of what and where do we store this old material?  (Do we even want to maintain it?)

2)    Upgrade our account to 2 Terrabytes, all sorted, down side is, it will cost £95.00 per year

3)    Find another Cloud storage service that gives the same flexibility of Dropbox, but cheaper....

4)    Someone volunteers to act as the Archive for our old stuff and keeps it in their own storage facilities....

5)    Something I havent thought of.....


Answers by reply please......
