In the past I have used nexo.com to share documents with sales, marketing, PR, and technical people for a small startup. But I wonder if there is a better solution to allow different types of geo-graphically dispersed workers to get to a variety of uploaded documents. I don't want to have to build or host this myself, and free or cheap is always nice.
I read about Confluence, but it seems to be way more than what I need. I simply want access-controlled folders in the cloud.
Take a look at Dropbox.
Access control is somewhat limited, but it's been working out very well for me.
I haven't used this myself just yet, but I've heard great things about it google docs
Love Dropbox!!! I haven't used it for setting up a lot of group access, though.
Sounds like Google Sites would help you a lot. You can set up a network of distinct Web sites -- one for sales, another for marketing, another for PR -- and upload your files to them. You can determine who has access to each site as well as each page of content.
In case anyone else checks this Q: Wound up using filesanywhere.com - has the exact features I was looking for.
there is a product called docpro.this allows you to set up various security levels,routing methods etc.Its a web based one you can use for geographically dispersed team members across the globe.But its not free,But cheap i think. Check this link
