If you are not going to be sharing large files then Web - Based is the way to go. In my business we use <a href="http://www.deskaway.com/" rel="nofollow"> Deskaway </a> - an online project collaboration tool. So each project we work on has a seperate folder with tasks, issues, milestones etc. In addition to that there is a space to write documents. Along with that, we have the option of storing files as well. So effectively we have a few GB online and Deskaway becomes the repository for every project. Also, because things are stored with respect to every project, things are more searchable and easily stacked. And oh! - there's a search engine as well! For general office stuff we have created a project called "General Office Stuff" - in that we store general office documents. Also, because it is web based, employees dont need to take their laptops home. They can access the tool from their home PC's... Ofcourse all this depends on the size of your files and your internet bandwidth as well. Either way i would recommend a project management tool like Deskaway any day! Depends on your business!
