I work for a design agency and we use Dropbox to store and sync all client work between the computers in the office (and a couple of Macbook Pro's that the directors have at home).
This solution works well EXCEPT some of the files are 300MB+ Photoshop files, which take a long time to sync up to Dropbox and then down to other computers, so I'm looking at implementing a server that will contain all the files, then sync the server to Dropbox so the files can be accessed from the directors Macbook Pro's.
We have an old Core 2 Duo PC that's sitting unused so just wondering whether this would be sufficient for this kind of task (if I buy some WD Red's to go in it), or should I opt for a small server instead?
