File sharing between partners

It seems like many of us partner on all or some of our deals. What are you doing to share files and make documents available to partners? My partner and I live in different states and I would like to set something up that each property has a file that we can both use for reference and to see what is happening with the project.
Bigger Pockets has saved me from re-inventing the wheel in other areas, so I thought I would ask here first.

Respectfully,

Lots of great file sharing sites available. Probably the easiest is Google Docs. If the information contained in the documents is sensitive, the files are secure, but you may be best to add an encryption program on both ends to fully secure them to your level of comfort.

I have found Dropbox to be the perfect for this use. Not only can you share folders with any kind of files, you can access them from your smart phone or any computer. This has worked much better than googledocs which is what we started with. Dropbox has been the best app I have used and is great for file sharing.
