Do the files need to stay on the server? &nbsp;Or do they just need to download them to their PC?<br />
<br />
if they just need to download, use a Windows/*NIX Server with SFTP setup.<br />
<br />
Or use a Windows server with WebDAV &amp;&nbsp;IIS.

Oh, here's a link to a WebDAV tutorial.<br />

Yes, the files need to stay on the server. I'm looking for something justl ike Amazon S3 where all of the files stay on the server and access to those files can be given to other users.

We are looking for an online storage solution that will allow us to upload and store a large amount of data (around 1.5TB to begin with) and then allow specific remote users access to these files. &nbsp;I've looked into Amazon S3, but this solution seems like it would be quite expensive. &nbsp;What (if any) other options are available to achieve this? &nbsp;Does anyone have any suggestions on a more cost-effective solution?<br />

Thank you

Online storage solution for sharing large amounts of data.

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.

Storage

Cloud computing, also known as on-demand computing, is a kind of Internet-based computing where shared resources and information are provided to computers and other devices. It is a model for enabling ubiquitous, on-demand access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources. Cloud computing and storage solutions provide users and enterprises with various capabilities to store and process their data in third-party data centers, relying on sharing of resources to achieve coherence and economies of scale.

Cloud Computing

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.
