So this may be as good a thread as any to ask for assistance:

My small business is looking for a combined file collaboration / file backup service that doesn't cost an excessive amount of money (we're a non-profit on a budget). Is there a good service for this? For example, Dropbox is mainly for sharing files, whereas Carbonite is mostly for backing up your computer. Is there a solution for both?

Basedrive might do it; it's an actual local server running their platform which you backup to/collaborate on, that you buy, rather than a service.

SpiderOak does both. Their interface is, IMO, not nearly as good as Dropbox (I've never used carbonite), but it does check both boxes (backup and sharing/sync).

Yeah but SpiderOak is $5/user/MONTH, so with 30 employees we're looking at $1800/year which is just crazy.
