I'm looking for an online storage site where I can store standard business documents for work, but for the sake of simplicity for our employees, I want to be able to map this site as a drive under My Computer on our XP computers. By doing this, it becomes very easy for our employees to save documents in the common location or refer to documents in the same location.

We've done something similar to this using Hamachi with a server on site, but being in different locations, an online site would be valuable. Plus, we've had some issues with the robustness of the Hamachi solution.

Does anyone know of such a site that could be setup in this fashion?

Thanks.

Hi tholin and welcome to the PCWorld Communities.

There are several that come to mind. I personally do not make any recommendations on which of these companies are better than the other but, based on your needs, I believe either XDrive or Mozy may be good for you. That being said, I would almost bet that most, if not all, of the major players may have that feature as an option.

Hi tbolin,
am using DiveHQ (Drivehq.com). I am using this for a long time. There is some limitation for the free storage.
1) only 2 users can share at a time
2) 1GB data tranferper month
1) 1 GB Storage

If this suits your need then go ahead....
