You guys are a quiet bunch…
Just FYI in case anyone is following along, this seems to work well. Installed dropbox, created a softlink in my dropbox folder to the fileshare directory. Then invite people to share the directory using the dropbox interface.
My windows based off-site collaborators can install dropbox (and get a synchronized copy of the same directory on their system) or just access the files via the web interface.
I think I need to be logged into the server for dropbox to sync the files, which isn’t a problem for me. If it’s a problem for you, you may be able to find the launchd plist and hack it.
