Sharing more then the drop box

I am looking for a way to share files between computers with out having to use the drop box. I have 5 computers in my office and I am looking for an easy way to transfer files between the computers, if anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it. I have seen where a drive has been created that appears on the desktop of all computers in the network and files can be dragged into the drive and transferred this way. However, I would not know where to begin to create such a drive. If anyone could offer me some help that would be great.

Sharepoints is good.
Other options to consider:
1. If you really are just looking for an easy way to transfer files, have a look at Drop Copy.
2. For a truly shared drive space, you can get a NAS. There's a bunch of these available, but a couple of the big names are Buffalo and Snap Server. Even old Iomega has gotten in on the act. You shouldn't have any trouble Googling up a bunch more.

  • Sharing the hard drive, not just the drop box

    Hi,
    Is there anyway to share the whole hard drive across a network rather then just the drop box and the public folder?
    Apologies if the post has already been posted.
    Many thanks

    Hi Beaudie,
    Use the freeware Share Points to share any directory over a network.

    Firefox 3.6.8 will not start. I have to go to safe start, click reset to default, ok, then the shutdown box appears, I click cancel and it will open. I have rest profile, uninstalled and reinstalled, clicked alll he boxes on safe start, tried an older version need help. in English
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == either after I last updated to 3.6.6 or .7 or reset my inernet exploerer values to default

    I had same problem where Firefox 3.6.8 would not start or open. Spent many hours trying different things to fix it. Uninstall of previous version and reinstall did not make any difference. Finally, after uninstalling Firefox, I searched for Firefox folders and files on my computer, deleted and removed all Firefox folders and files - deleted anything and everything related to Firefox so that it will be as if I was going to download Firefox for the first time ever. Then, using another browser, I downloaded Firefox 3.6.8 and installed it. It could be that some Add-Ons or something else from the older version of Firefox or profile was interfering with the new one. It was easier to delete remove everything and install all over again clean than to figure out which part was causing the problem.
    Keep in mind, when you delete all Firefox folders and files from your computer, you are deleting all your bookmarks and all your Add-ons. If you want to keep those bookmarks, you might want to save the URLs someplace safe to bookmark them again before deleting them. You need to re-install the Add-ons also. Upon installation, it asks if you want to import bookmarks and settings from another browser or settings you might have. I imported them from my other browser. Now, Firefox works. I also installed up-to-date Add-ons.
    I hope this helps. Always keep more than one browser functioning on your computer, just in case one fails.

  • Purchase order item details in the drop box is not appearing

    Hi all ,
    I have created a 'Z' transaction  ME22N .Purchase order change .
    In that transaction purchase order item details in the drop box is not appearing.
    Please suggest .

    Hi,
    System will not display the Purchase order item details in the first screen. First enter the data on the Item overview like Material or short text then only it will display the Item details.
    I think you are checking with out entering the data on Item overview .
    Check by entering the material/short text.

  • Downloaded my itunes and on the top left hand corner the drop box doesn't show pictues/I can't import pictures from my dell computer to my iphone 4s 6.1.3

    downloaded to my dell computer(windows vista) itunes and on the top left hand corner when the drop box comes down it doesn't have pictures on it..I can't import pictures from my dell to my iphone 4s 6.1.3ios also added music to iphone but can't move songs to my ringtone on phone

    The battery alone is a $5 to $15 part.  Hard drives vary in cost, and depending on the iMac, they may or may not be able to install a third party hard drive, or one resold through Apple.    The resold through Apple drives tend to cost more.  This article discusses the varying successes of third party drives on iMacs:

    The labor costs depend on the store as well as the time to get the parts in stock.    Call around.

  • Time machine is trying to back up more then the drive has on it

    I'm doing an intial backup on a fresh Time Machine drive ... my computer has 1.66TB of files there are no external drives etc selected. Time Machine wants to back up 1.98TB !!!! It wants MORE then the drive has on it !!!!!
    How is this possible ... Crazy stuff !

    Time Machine will require about 200 TB of free space.
    Unfortunately, a new 2 TB drive will not have exactly 2 TB of free space. so that is where the problem is arising.
    Wow.. that is a lot of space.. LOL!!
    It is confusing now with the change from v5 utility which recorded capacity in binary bytes to the v6 utility which records digital bytes.
    So the same drive looks different on both. But the computer is going to always use binary bytes.
    Older v5 utility.. shows capacity. 2.7TB. That is standard binary value for a 3TB drive. Always sold with numbers as inflated as possible.. ie digital bytes..
    c
    So the available is shown under the partition correctly.
    In v6 utility.
    We discover the disk has more free space than the v5 utility says when it is formatted... and empty.
    The confusion caused by using digital bytes.

  • HT203177 I have a 2TB Imac, 10.7.2, with 2.8 processor and Intel Core i7, with 16 Gb of memory, and 1067 MHz DDR3.  I have tried to backup to a WD 4TB. It ran for almost 7 hours, and then the little box came up saying it had 5 seconds, but would not stop.

    I have tried backing up my iMac using Time Machine.  I have 727 GB on the 2 TB internal hard drive. I am trying to back up to a 4TB WD extrnal hard drive.  Everything seems to work fine, even though it took almost 7hours to go through the process, then the little progress box should it had 5 seconds left, but it kept running and running for another 4 hours, until i finally shut it down.
    The WD hard drive shows that it has used 1.61 TB on the disk, but I cannot find anything in Time Capsule.  I open the hard drive to see what is on it, and it just shows that it is in progress.
    I'm lost and looking for suggestions.

    Apple's iPhone Warranty is referring to hardware modifications, because it is just a hardware warranty. It explicitly denies covering software, even to the point of saying even the iPhone OS is not covered by any warranty.
    When you update the iPhone software to 1.1.1 or later you'll see this message
    "Apple has discovered that some of the unauthorized unlocking programs available on the Internet may cause irreparable damage to the iPhone's software. IF YOU HAVE MODIFIED YOUR iPHONE'S SOFTWARE, APPLYING THIS SOFTWARE UPDATE MAY RESULT IN YOUR iPHONE BECOMING PERMANENTLY INOPERABLE.

  • The robot in Compass is not able to read the shared directories of the NT box. Am I missing something on configuration? Thanks in advance.

     

    I guess the problems should be with file permissions. The robot is run by the Admin server which runs on the local host. The following link should help you in indexing a NT shared volume.

  • I dont want in some sites auto fill the password but rather i want if i put atleast three correct entry then the password box be auto filled...plz reply asap...

    dont auto fill d password in some sites but auto fill after atleast three correct entry..as gmail other member r also used this...

    You can disable auto-fill (I'm using this as well), but you can't delay this by having to enter the same name more than once.
    You can set the Boolean pref <b>signon.autofillForms</b> to <i>false</i> on the <b>about:config</b> page.
