Dropbox not ideal if you want to manage user and group access to a
shared file storage domain.

It rocks for individual and small-group sharing though.

Depending on whether you want to tinker a little, it's easy to hack
together an admin interface for .htaccess and .htdigest files and use
Apache WebDAV for this.

Then again, I'm sure that wheel has been reinvented often.

WebDAV is an excellent choice for this because Windows 7, OS X, and
Linux all support mounting WebDAV shares as network filesystems... or
in a pinch you can use it read-only with a browser.
