Online document storage

[TriedandTested]

Hi all

What would you recommend as being the best (user friendly, reliable, etc) method to be able to access a central store of documents (all types) online?

Ideally, I'd like a locally managed 'device' that can be access by users where ever they are. I'm trying to move the users away from each owning/managing/keeping their documents on their own laptops and having to email them to each other when it's needed elsewhere.

Google Apps looks good but i'm not sure that the way it works in the most user friendly, and I'm also not sure that it allows folder/file creation that users would be able to navigate like they do in Windows. I may be wrong..

Any suggestions? FTP? Something else?

Is this something commercial and budgeted (I'm guessing so from the reference to users) or just for an ad-hoc sort of project with no or very limited budget? I don't know exactly what would be best to use (personally I'd use an FTP as relatively secure but mostly because I don't know/haven't tried too many other options) but I'm guessing it might affect the answers given.

It's for a team of about 10 users, some based in the office some pretty much always on the move. Mobile devices (laptops, Mac Book Pro, BlackBerry) are all in use. An example i'm looking at now is www.box.net - looks good.

There's a budget for it, but it's pretty flexible. If there's a service that is worth paying for then that won't be a problem. I just want the best!
