I'd look into some kind of web-based file storage solution. I'm planning on implementing something similar this summer. I'll allow faculty to logon, upload a file, and designate who can access it.
While Public Folders isn't the best way, it's better than individual copies of the attachments in mailboxes. At least with a public folder, you only have one copy. On a similar note, does anyone know of a way to prohibit attachments from being saved in the Sent Items folder? It's quite annoying.

We have a situation in our company where people need to mail files to each other on a regular basis. We have mailboxes in excess of 500mb. IS there any way to manage attachements better. We do not want to tell people not to use them. We do not want to block them. If one user sends a 5mb file to 5 users this will take 30 mb of space on the exchange server (5X5+5 for the sender in sent items). This is an AWFULL lot of redundancy in the database. IS there any way to manage this better? We tried public folders but this just moves the files from one database to another in Exchange 5.5. TIA __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
