Hello everyone,
I was just reading a little about "Google Cloud Connect" and was wondering what others use for file sharing.
Security is not a significant issue with more or less 100% of my texts, and it would be a big help (particularly for editing work) to be able to directly work on documents together with clients.
I tried out GoogleDocs about a year ago, but gave up because of its limited compatibility with MS Word. I also tried Windows Live SkyDrive and was generally satisfied, but gave up because only clients with a Hotmail-account can actually collaborate.
Who has had positive experiences: (1) extremely user-friendly for client, (2) very compatible with most Word versions?
Sincerely,
Michael

Hello Michael,
I tried Dropbox and it is very user friendly for both parties. The free version has 2GB online storage.

registration required for collaboration?

Hello,
Thank you very much for responding!
I took a look at the Dropbox site, but it seems to involve the same problem that I have with Microsoft's system: It is possible to give clients very simple access to shared files, but only for viewing and not for collaborative editing.
In order to edit the files, they would have to register with Dropbox. Is that correct? did your clients use the viewing-only mode or were they willing to register?
Sincerely,
Michael
