Sharing files

[Brandon Payne <brandon.j.payne () SVCC EDU>]

What is everyone else doing for sharing important files between two
employee users (not a whole department)? When I say important, I mean,
these files may contain communication about a particular student, business
data, etc. We have Google Apps so we try and communicate that these types
of files should not be sent through email. Using usb drives is inefficient
and insecure as these could be personal usb drives brought from home that
now has business data. We do utilize network shares but there may be more
individuals that would be able to view these files if placed there and we
would like to avoid duplicating files between network shares.

I've seen a few online services that does this like RapidShare, Hotfile,
Dropbox for Business, etc. but would it be better to have something hosted
on campus that we can get more control over with what data stays on campus
and not some place out there on the Internet?

To add, We've looked at 7zip and Winzip however, the issue with putting a
password on a file is users not documenting passwords and having to refer
back to this file after that person leaves.

Thanks!
