Hi Tony
I use Google dropbox for some non-sensitive work files, without problem. So
that's a yes from me.

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….

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......
