I work for a small company (7 employees), and we all work out of our
houses. we would like to all have access to the same files (from a
remote location), and we are looking into our options.

does anyone have experience with this? any suggestions as to what to
use/not use (ie. server, online service etc.)?

thanks in advance for your help!!

I'm not too technical, but I'll tell you want works for me.

Have your website administrator get you some extra space and then
install something like dotproject.net 's project management software.
You can put in assignments, tasks, addresses, etc. and everyone will
have access. Included in it is the ability to create a library. I
only use that function occasionally, but IIRC you can put in a feature
so only one person can check out a file at a time (to avoid different
versions).

You can also do Gantt charts the stuff. Pretty powerful for free
software.

If you don't have a website, go get one. I have the access buried in a
directory with no links to it so it can't easily be found. Plus it's
password protected.

A "server" will do the trick. However servers take lots of care and feeding
as well as attention to security. The company below can set up and maintain
everything for you...
