I'm surprised that google is really slow to move on this. Our organisation has already been using Google Apps for a year or so and want to replace our network shares. With all our user accounts and email groups, Google is in the best position to do execute yet the lack of good solutions means we're likely to look elsewhere. There's a couple of third parties that integrate with Google Docs, but none of them fit the bill from some quick internal tests. Gladinet - unreliable with certain functions. Insync - still very much "beta" mode; no folders, no business plan options. |

I'm using Google Apps in an SMB, and it's great for zero-admin, but downloading attachments to a download folder, finding them again by filename, doing 'save as' to avoid filename collisions so you can save changes, is a total pain in the ass. And we still need a network drive. We still use Google Apps in spite of this but handling file attachments seems unnecessarily difficult. And no, Google Docs is not a solution. Not all attachments are .docs, some of us use CAD files.
Dropbox, fully integrated with Google Apps and Chrome's Downloads folder, would mean the end for millions of intranets.
