Hi, Tallguy,
I agree. It's hard enough remembering the passwords I do have and this will be
one more. I wonder what the advantage really is.

But Nance, I don't quite understand. Maybe I'm a little dense. How is this any
different than Dropbox or SendSpace or MediaFire or any other file-sharing
system?
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!
