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.
