[nfbcs] Networking Solutions?

[Jim Portillo]

OK, but I'm not really talking about Dropbox though.  I use it with friends
and like what it does.

I was hoping to share information like files or email or things along that
line...way beyond dropbox's capabilities at this point.

The real downside of dropbox is that to share a file between two computers
in your home, you have to send the file up your internet connection to the
cloud, and then pull it down again.

It trades speed and data usage for convenience.  If the tradeoff looks good,
then go for it.  Just be aware of the tradeoff.
