Once I get past the Geek-babble hype, this is something I would find very useful. I need to share a few documents with a colleague in another town - small spreadsheets and a couple of html wikis. These require regular updating, although we would never be working on them at the same time.
I've looked at Google Docs but have some issues:-
- Google is notoriously cavalier with privacy and security. You can't password protect individual documents in Google Docs and although they have been asked for that feature ever since they launched, Google can't be arsed;
- you can only edit documents online if you convert to GD's format. Their Excel clone is slow and clunky and anyway we are both familiar with Excel. Their html upload just stores the wikis as raw text.
Does anyone have another simple and preferably free solution? I've looked at Dropbox, which might be worth trying, but what have other people come across?
