Dropbox Business

Looking to share files without a server?

Do you have remote staff?

Dropbox business might be the answer you are looking for. Regardless of your staff being in one office or many. Working from home or on the road Dropbox business can be setup to work just like your network drives over the internet on each computer.

The best part about this solution is even without internet access staff can still access files, they will then sync when the internet is back online. Which is great for working out of town when you have no internet access. We personally use this product and love it.

Setup Plan

1. We setup a new Dropbox Team

2. Add top level folders then create permissions

3. Only add the appropriate staff member to each folder.

4. Install Dropbox Business on each team members machine / phone / tablet

5. Move all the data to the new folder location and wait for the files to upload.

6. Teach staff how to use the Dropbox solution.
