Scott how is it that jungle disk is more secure than dropbox? I may take a look into jungle disk like Scott mentioned and see if it will work for us. If we are constantly making users jump through more hoops to handle a simple task as this, are we really doing our jobs well? We are in a service oriented business so we all need to do what we can to make a user's tasks/responsibilities easier to handle on a day to day basis. Our job as IT professionals is to make a user's day easier in every aspect possible with keeping everything else in mind (i.e. Guess things are not exactly how you assume.

I was not aware of security issues with dropbox, guess I was just assuming that if they are providing a service like that they would have to have it secure.

I currently have it setup on everyone's pc so they can easily transfer files between their desktop and their ipad. We currently also use dropbox, but we do not use it in a way that users are sharing files between others.

Different solutions for a (similar) but actually different scale of proble, I want to travel to the coffee machine I don't get on a 747 and fly there. Otherwise you will have this great system/application that hardly anybody will use.īut thats not the problem here, Zend.to (and others) are trying to solve the issue of people emailing documents about to other companies, not someone down the hall where you can use shared folders/document-management-solution and you have access to the same internal infrastructure. We have to acknowledge the immediate gratification element with our users in order to move forward and provide the most secure solutions for them. For example, if you're sharing a M&M cookie recipe already on your workstation with a coworker or client you don't want to log into another console, upload the file, provide that person with a username and password, then have them squint to use 'Captcha' just to pickup the file. Teaching and re-teaching are always a good models to follow, but when it comes to nonclassified files or documens it's been my experience that users just want it to work, and work quickly.
