We are a small company with less than 10 employees who work on generating artwork and documentation.
We need a secure solution for giving employees access to the latest version of the working files.
Currently we use google drive for this. Everyone just opens the docs from the drive and saves directly to it. It syncs the files on all our PCs within a few minutes so for the most part everyone always has the latest files on their hard drives
Is there anything better we could be using?
I've thought of setting up some sort of file server on one of the PCs, which the other PCs would access - but how could I go about setting it up, securing it, and managing permissions so that only some employees have access to some of the files?
By "securing" I mean protecting the data from being read by external hackers, and guarding it from fire, theft, ransomware and so on. We already do weekly backups on portable hard drives kept in remote locations, and they can easily be encrypted with VeraCrypt, but how would we encrypt the server in such a way that everyone can still access the files? Would we share a big encrypted file container and give every employee the password to mount it, or would it wreak havoc with VeraCrypt if multiple PCs are writing to the container at the same time?
We don't mind paying for software, if it exists, that can do this task in a quick and easy way.
