2 offices share drive
(OP)
We have 2 offices and we would like to have a web drive where we can put all of our AutoCad typical details to share on both offices. We started with the same folders and we copy the folder to the other office. Now both offices are so different because both offices edit and add stuff constantly. Could you guys help me with what my options are? I want both offices to use the same folder so when we change something, it will effect everyone (i.e. plot style, typical details etc. So even though we have 2 offices, it will feel like we are in the same office. Can someone point me to the right direction?

You can just build a secure area on your web page and do drawing management out of that (check-out/check-in protocols and someone to manage it). Other than that, the price seems to go whay up really quickly.

You can then map it to a drive letter if that is your thing.

The webdrive seems to do exactly what we want. I downloaded the trial version.

By the way, I have seen services that offer web storage (http://www.xdrive.com). I never tried them, but maybe that would fit your needs.
