    I've finally hired my first employee. Using google drive for sharing docs and dropbox for images but would prefer something more coordinated- I guess like a virtual server where everything can be stored in folders. Dropbox is only for images and I'm fine with using google drive for certain things but I'm sure there are better options. Ideally something free :D or a min monthly fee. Any recommendations?

    I have used Hubic and it seems fine. You set-up a folder on the PC share it on Hubic and your away. I think you get 20gb for free.

    I've stated to use onedrive as well as it has more sharing features but same idea as Hubic

    Dropbox is for files too. You can actually have a folder on your pc and browse normally.

    What kind of files?

    Dropbox for business works pretty well. You can use it for any kind of file you like and the business plans offer some nice audit tools.

    OneDrive comes bundled with some Office 365 plans.

    I'd be wary of anything where you do not know _exactly_ where the data resides. With GDPR coming into force in a few months people need to be very careful.

    Yes the reason I wanted something seperate is I have dropbox for personal stuff. I'm not sure how to go between two separate accounts without logging in and out and my personal one is on my laptop. There's probably an easy solution but I came across sync.com this week and like the look of it- does anyone have experience with it? I've just installed it to see how it goes
