Storing Files for Band Access

Google Apps for domains. Buy a domain for 10 bucks a year. Then you can give everyone email addresses like [email protected]. Each person can share calendars, documents (word/excel sort of stuff).

You can make web sites either public or private to just people on the domain. that way you make internal stuff just for your use, but also have a presence on the web to direct the public.
 
If you have a website, the easiest/smartest method is to put them all into single zip files (pix in one) (songs in another etc).. then give them a Rev Number.

I'm a fan of putting the songlist/setlist in one and everything else in the other...

Then link it to a band member page.. This will ensure that members check the interal page for the agreements etc.

Lots of ways to do this. We use a shared google account. We can upload files as attachments to draft emails and everyone else can log in at their leisure and download them. Great for calendars, contact lists, etc. Free and huge storage...
 
Not sure about you guys but when you pay for internet access typically you get a bit of webspace as part of the package (99% of people are either not aware of this or never use it) but you may be able to log into that with an FTP client and exchange files provately that way.

All the sites mentioned will work but you have to understand that anything you post there becomes the property of the site and you lose your rights to it.

Read the fine print. it's there.
