We have used both Dropbox and Github. Github is well worth the switch due to the built in version control. We do still use Dropbox for CAD though.

For CAD we use GrabCAD now. It has an online web viewer for Solidworks files and has really good conflict control (1 conflicted copy this whole year) as well as version control. We used Dropbox two years ago and got tons of conflicted copies due to inexperienced people opening and saving files, especially when at home. It was livable and can work as long as precautions are taken, but I like GrabCAD more.

Sorry to hear this! If your team needs any help I am sure team 3019 would be more then willing to help! as for backing up the code use github and upload working code to a flash drive. That way you have a physical copy and a cloud copy. REMEMBER: The more places the better!

hope things end up all right!
