Look at Windows Sharepoint Services (free download from Microsoft). I know you cannot install a full blown MSSQL server on your machine due to 2003 Web limitation but I believe the default install of WSS 3.0 with the internal database server will work.

Another good solution may be DropBox as long as you don't mind everyone sharing a login and being able to see everything. It basically maps a shared network drive for everyone to use.

Thanks, but I need one user and password for one client in only one folder.
Thank PCTechMe for your idea about "Windows Sharepoint Services", and I'm studying the graphic customizable and if it's ok for windows server 2003 web edition.
Other solutions?

I did look into running it on Web Edition 2003 and it is supported using the internal database. I have been using SharePoint for many years now and I can tell you I do not find it easy to "re-skin" if that is what you are referring to by "graphic customizeable".

I mean the ability to change the graphics of platform alone, and in last chanche insert template.
But, you mean by base database? Windows Server 2003 has a base database? Sorry but I'm not expert.
Thanks!

There are a few templates available for download but they do not change much more than the colors. You can easily change the layout and add modules. If you are trying to make it look like an existing site it becomes much more complicated. SharePoint is much more about functionality and ease of use than it is about style.

When you do a standalone (all services on a single server) installation of SP it will intstall an embedded (internal) Microsoft SQL Server 2005 edition that will be used by SharePoint.

I used to share my codes and files with version control systems .one of them faster and easier was subversion.
you may set up a subversion server on your windows server.
after you learnt how to use it ,you will found you could easily share any thing feel free.
