Who has a web-based file sharing / dropbox /
web-upload-instead-of-email-attachment solution they'd like to tell me
about?

My department is looking to enhance or replace ours, and it seems a
common task. I see no benefit to using a commercial provider, but could
see the benefits of shared source with our fellow edu's. As always, I
can summarize to the list if there are sufficient responses/interest.

Cheers.

Cornell's got a homegrown app called dropbox that does what Rice's 
homegrown app, webfile did, that does what many campuses have built.
