What is the best method to share folders between users?

It would be sooooo good if anyone who really knows the differences could create a camparing List with pros and cons of the different possibilities of sharing files and folders. Each year I start to investigate again because either I can’t remember the precise differneces or I have the feeling that something could have changed.
I am definetly NOT the one to create a list but to motivate the real experts I just start it…and would love to edit this post and delete the following part again:

App “Group Folders”

  • Pro:
    *. Not tied to one single user account
    *. ?!
  • Con:
    *. No encryption
    *. Problems with deletion
    *. Many mor options to admin

Global Shares by Admin oder Ghost-Accont

  • Pro:
    *. No further app or options needed
    *. Works fine if group members and admin aren’t changing
  • Con:
    *. Something with quota seems bad?!

App “Circles”:

  • Pro:
    *. Didn’t get it
  • Con:
    *. Didn’t get it…

Can’t we have an open OO Sheet, where all can enter Pros and Cons and that is always uptodate?

Actually it’s such an important topic and I think it was worth for the NC admins to organise a “fair” comparison Site in the Documentation.
