Cloud Storage?

[Cook1]

I work in a very small office (3 people total) and instead of having a server we have an external hard drive that's on our network that we can all access. On this external hard drive are various business documents mostly PDFs, Word/Excel docs and photos/videos. This external HD is backed up weekly via Go Daddy's Online Storage.

Now this works out well for us however we have been looking at Cloud Storage so we can access (view/edit) these documents from home or from various other locations.

My main thing I've ran into is the 2GB upload limit and it seems that a lot of these are kinda like what we are currently using a "backup" system.

I have been looking around and looking at web based articles about various cloud storage systems but thought I'd ask here first because you guys are just awesome. Basically looking for a cloud based storage service to replace our external hard drive that's at the office that has all these docs on it that the three of us can use daily aka a total replacement for this drive.

Dropbox Business?

The reason I suggest it is because with a true cloud system, every time a user opens a file it will have to be download first and this, depending on the size of the file will get boring very quickly. Ideally you want local LAN speed but with a cloud backup. Or you could implement a small file server kept in the office and have a program/script to backup the file server to Dropox business or another cloud solution every 24hr hours.

What software are you using? If Microsoft look at their hosted solutions.

Edit, just read Word and Excel. Yeah, I'd look at a hosted Sharepoint solution.
