File Submission Options

[eran]

We're doing some website revisions and one of the modifications I'm looking at is revising the method for clients to submit artwork. Currently everyone has their own username/password and submits through an HTTP interface (or uses our FTP). I'd like to come out of this with a single (and simple) means for everyone to use. The product I'm liking so far is Box.net which encompasses quite a bit more features than I need but also sports most of what I require at a good price and it transfers fast.

What other options are out there? What have you found useful?
Your input is greatly appreciated.

Thanks Everyone!

We have been using Dropbox. Dropbox - Home - Secure backup, sync and sharing made easy. to handle all the PDF transfers for our Printing Newspapers Clients. Its basically an file syncing tool. We needed a simple way for our clients to drop files inside a folder without loggin into FTP or others. We have found Dropbox to be easy. No worrying whether the FTP Server is up and running.

This does look like a great tool. Had you come across much that can be embedded into a website before settling down with Dropbox?

Online Job Submission with Wrokflow integration

You are welcome to consider OnTimeProof - with it users have a professional looking web interface with your site design. It has job submission using a powerful java upload tool that has a drag and drop interface to allow users to upload multiple files at one time.

Users submit their files along with a job ticket based on a form page that you design.

Files can then be either manually or automatically assigned a job number.

Once a job number is assigned files can then be automatically routed to unlimited workflows based on the job ticket contents.

It is extremely inexpensive and very powerful.
