Microsoft sharepoint - anyone use??

[binky]

I am considering central file location (without buying servers etc etc) so I can access certain work docs (mostly word and pdf files) from home / office / phone and maintain integrity of auditable paperwork (ie avoid duplicate copies). I am also considering this for secure back-up facility. Does anyone have any opinions or other thoughts about sharepoint or similar systems.

binky,

Wait for the Apple fanboy onslaught later , though he does have some good suggestions.

There are other systems, Ubuntu1, there is the space you get with Windows Live too.

There are quite a few, but AFAIK, NONE of them guarantee your data integrity!

I simply keep stuff I want to share with my other media in a shared folder on my desktop,

that way the missus can access it from the laptop, or if its a movie we can access it via the Wii etc,

Are we talking about online storage here? If so might be worth looking into amazons aws cloud services.

Not heard of any of these before - bigest problem (and strength) with internet is it's shear diversity. I am alittle unhappy with using unknown entities, I know microsfot aren't popular, but at least i know who they are!!

I use Dropbox. It's brilliant as it syncs all the computers you use when you log on - so the data is stored locally as well as in the cloud. It's free for up to 2Gs - and unless you're putting videos on it that is a lot of storage!
