Purpose
The OSGeo Board of Directors need a way to privately share documents, between members of the Board. Often these are sensitive documents such as contracts, containing personal information that should not be shared publicly.
Current Status
The OSGeo Board has been using DropBox for the past several years. Board members must currently use their own DropBox account in order to access the files, which is a challenge for most as the default DropBox account contains only 2GB of space.
Required Features
- way to store and access files privately
- dedicated accounts for each Board member, with space of around 10GB each
- automatic sync of files
- cross-platform support (mac, windows, linux)
- mobile and desktop clients
Nice-to-have Features, but not necessary
- file versioning
Possible Options
DropBox
- free individual account only has 2GB of space
- or expand to 1TB for ~10USD/month
