Box.net updates widget for group file sharing

Box.net, the online storage service, has updated their embeddable widget with a new group sharing feature for members with premium and professional accounts. Users can password protect a shared folder, which can then be accessed privately by others with the code. Storage owners can opt-in to allow user uploading, which lets anyone with access add files. The company is gearing it at businesses, whereas its previous widget incarnation was aimed at users with social networking profiles.

For group users to keep track of updates to shared folders, each share gets its own RSS feed. Once subscribed, the name and direct download link will be broadcast to any subscribers. Neat.

Note: I have the anonymous uploading turned off on the widget below. Read previous Box.net widget coverage here.

DriveHQ.com group sharing is the best, period!

Well, for group file sharing, DriveHQ.com is really the best. You can access group shared files right from your Windows Explorer, or through DriveHQ FileManager. If you use FileManager, it allows automatic synchronizing files/folders among multiple users and multiple PCs, the best feature I've seen.

Shazzle was just released a few weeks ago and seems like a great fit for private group file sharing. It is so simple to upload to multiple people at once. Also it allows you to synchorinize folders to one's hard drive. I encourage you to check it out at http://www.shazzle.com
