Darin - AUS has begun using an Open-Source app called Pak-N-Post (http://www.paknpost.org) this semester. It operates in a very similar fashion to www.yousendit.com. If you would like to check it out in use, you can visit our site: http://fileshare.aus.edu. We have been fairly happy with its capabilities and functionalities so far. The installation requirements are fairly simple and it also has the ability to perform virus scans if antivirus is available on the system. If you would like to speak to our engineer who installed / customized it for us, let me know. Thanks.

Who has a web-based file sharing / dropbox / web-upload-instead-of-email-attachment solution they'd like to tell me about? My department is looking to enhance or replace ours, and it seems a common task. I see no benefit to using a commercial provider, but could see the benefits of shared source with our fellow edu's. As always, I can summarize to the list if there are sufficient responses/interest.
