DropBox, Google Drive, Sync.com are work very well but they too have
their "free" limits.
They are all a little different but they do limit to one degree or
another volume, uploads, downloads (etc) to or from and have a cap for
their "free" services. Once you reach that cap you will have to wait a
while in order to access again. I have even heard about real abusers
having their "free" accounts terminated but that seems to rare.
A group this size could hit that "cap" pretty quickly.
There is no free ride. A service such as this is either supported through
the sale of advertising or some other mechanism to "pay it's way".
Hans and Ashar have been rather quiet on this subject. I will take that
as to mean that they are working on it will when they have worked out
several ways forward then we will hear about those options at that time.

I made that suggestion, and asked you think about how to make it work before shooting it down. And I am glad you did!
I looked in the subscription tab and found the member integration button, and found two options. Dropbox, and Google Drive. If you can put an up front message for new members, and a reminder for the not new members to to attach files from your own storage account. And move this group files to a BITX Dropbox or something, that would be great. The only sticky bit I see is broken links in the future after people delete files, or close the account.
So, is that how it would work? I haven't setup the integration, so I don't know how it works yet. But I soon will.
