On-line file storage? [closed]

Anyone that know of an on-line file storage that could be used to replace the functionality of a network file server?

Background:
We have a small decentralized company. We use version control (subversion) for all source code and for all support files that we need to ship our software. All the documentation is one the web as well.

The problem:
We have not solved how to share other documents in a good way. We are currently using a lot of SFTP to our Linux server which is tedious.

I think we are looking for a service that can be used mounted as a remote drive and accessed through a web browser (for use on temporary computers). We do have a Linux VPN server that could host this, but we are probably looking for a service.

We are located in Sweden - but just tip on what technique we are looking for is helpful.

FUSE (Filesystem in USEr Space) is a pretty simple solution here. You can mount the files on any ssh account as if they were a local drive. I'm not sure what kind of machines you're running so here's some solutions for the main systems:

Linux - sshfs : http://fuse.sourceforge.net/sshfs.html

Mac OSX - expandrive : http://www.expandrive.com/mac

Windows - expandrive : http://www.expandrive.com/windows

I've never used expandrive for windows, but the mac client is fantastic.

You could quite easily setup samba on your linux file server and share the directories that way. It would allow you to mount the shares, control permissioning, and not drastically change the way you are currently setup.

Here is a link to the current official how to guide to setup Samba: http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/

If you want a quick test to see how it would work linux.com has a quick & dirty setup guide: http://www.linux.com/articles/58593

I might be able to point you in the right direction a bit better if I was aware of what distribution you use.

Drop.IO may be of interest.
