Remote access to a hard drive

[Extra 300 Driver]

There are three of us working on a new project, but all in different locations. Is it possible to have one central hard drive that we can all store data on? It would have programs just data and I would like it accessable over the net from where ever they are in the world,

Possible?

Indeed it is. The best and safest way would be to buy a NAS and have that set up with the files on it at a particular location. There are a number of software packages that will allow remote access to it, some even come free with the NAS.

Something like this? http://www.ebuyer.com/product/149264

SO if I was in France and this was in the UK I could still get to my files??

Thats the sort of thing. It looks like from the spec it may have remote HTTP conection built in, which would be a web based interface.

Their web page backs that up so I think thats all you would need.

You don't say what the file sizes are but if they are of any size then given how slow that will be over a broadband connection have you considered any of the hosted offerings? I like the look of http://www.livedrive.com/business.aspx or http://www.humyo.com/pages/en/online-file-storage but there's tons of them out there.

VPN and simple shared drive - thats the way I'd do it if the info was at all sensitive
