Re: [Windows] Helping family member setup small office network

Thanks for the replies!
All computers will be connected to the internet and no physical medium will be used to backup files. Is Dropbox good choice or there's something "better"?
Haven't really played much with the Dropbox but I'm sure there's a way to go back to previous versions of certain files?

i think you should start with dropbox. you get 2 gb for free, that should be plenty to get you going. they do have ways to retrieve deleted files. you have to be in the website to access those settings.

And, if you buy a cheap $1 domain from GoDaddy (look up coupons -- it's the greatest deal ever), and host the mail for the domain using Outlook.com, you can create users and activate skydrive for all of the accounts... :P

I was lucky enough to get the 23GB dropbox HTC Sense promotion, so for two years, I'll stick with Dropbox -- but if you choose to use Outlook.com to host the domains mail, each get an account and you can enable Skydrive.

I don't think they have lot of documents to backup but thanks for sharing I do have few domains at GoDaddy.
