Hi Jachym, All,

The Dropbox folder was setup by Tyler initially for the transition of 
his files to the Treasurer and Secretary at the time, and we continued 
to use it as it was handy.

"Who is managing it?" ... nobody... the beauty of this type of service 
is that there is no management involved for the users, just click the 
share button and you're in business.

Ok, you probably meant "Who is in charge of it?" ... well, it used to be 
the treasurer and secretary, so I guess you and Mike are in charge by 
default.

I didn't realize that shared files coming from someone else were also 
counted as part of your personal quota. IF that's really the case then I 
can see why using Dropbox can be a problem for some. There are 
alternatives such as Cubby which works equally well (I use it) and has 
more friendly terms and pricing: https://www.cubby.com/pricing/ ... and 
I believe OSGeo could pay the monthly fees for space for its Treasurer 
and Secretary if it is decided that this is important.

My 0.02$ is that whatever you choose as a replacement, it has to be 
simple and straightforward enough to allow sharing files with the 
accountant in a transparent manner. Accounting is a continuing business, 
the treasurer puts files in there at least once a week, and the 
accountant needs to be able to easily access them, so if you choose 
something that requires special tools then please keep in mind that this 
may be an issue for the accountant.
