DROPBOX is amazing. what it does is hosts your files on a cloud server somewhere, then distributes the most up to date files to all machines that are connected to the account. there are obviously some issues with it such as unwanted duplicates and CONFLICTED COPIES appearing, but this is nothing compared with the benefits of having files update on every computer in the group. a downside is BANDWIDTH however.
LAND or LOCAL AREA NETWORK DRIVES can also be used with great benefit if everyone is connected to the same local network. what this means is that you SHARE folder on a host computer, and all other machines specify a LOCAL IP ADDRESS and selection name of the folder and link to it. This works a lot BETTER than DROPBOX as the updating is quicker and DOSNT USE BANDWIDTH. However this can't be used outside of this network.
