Questions and Concerns
- What is the maximum file size supported for transfer?
- Is there an issue when large numbers of files must be kept up with?
- Do we want a Dropbox style service or an FTP style service?
- How well does the solution handle file permissions, especially group permissions?
- Do we want to survey the users to see what features are most important to them?
