Once someone has set up an account -- which you are going to do -- they
have a user name and password -- which you are going to have. Then you log
in and can upload as much as the space will hold! And yes, others can view
or download when you give the link -- just as you are going to do. Owners
(with the user name and password) can also delete or edit any of the files
-- which we also will be able to do when you give us the name and password
to use. So how is this system you want to set up any different than
anything else we have been using? I don't understand why I *NEED* to have
one more extra account and password to remember! What is the advantage? Did
I miss something earlier?
TG, just being dense and can't see the point.

Once I get this thing set up, you won't have to just click on somebody's
link
and try to download. The things we will all do are:
1. I'll have an account for the group set up with the same user and
password for everybody. I'll probably need to set up an area for us to
upload to, but whatever is uploaded will always go into the correct folder.
2. Everybody will need to go the link I will give you and download the
app for Open Drive and install it. Once you have done that, just open it
from your desktop and log in with the user name and password I give you for
the group.
3. It'll seem as if all the files in Open Drive are on your computer, but
they aren't; they are on a drive on the internet and don't take up extra
room on your hard drive. Only what you choose to copy over onto your
computer will add files to your computer. Once we get this going, it'll be
so handy to just open up this drive and copy (not cut) stuff to wherever we
want to. It won't be like we are doing now. More details later!
