I was in the Beta for this tool and it was great. However the moment it we=
nt out of beta they changed its method a lot (which is a really bizarre met=
hod of handling beta testing) and it was slow and tedious. I haven't tried=
it since then but that has been several years. I'll definitely look back =
in to that and maybe some marketing on how to use it.
Any other thoughts?

If you go that route, I recommend looking at this tool.
http://www.gladinet.com/
We looked at it briefly here, but did not pursue it. From the minimal expe=
rience I had with it, I thought it was a decent product. There is a free, =
non-commercial, version.

What if your students had their SkyDrive mapped as a network drive? I haven=
't tested this but spoke with another school that was looking into it.
