Problem: You need to share Crystal Report files with your team and all you use is a
Windows network folder, which might even be a mapped drive. No matter
how easy Windows folders are, they're a great idea that few people like
to use. The preferred way to share files continues to be an e-mail
attachment. Even with all the unintended hiccups such as the missing
attachment, or knowing which file is really the latest one, or having to
unzip a bunch of files, people still gravitate toward that because it
seems quicker. I believe another reason why people continue to e-mail
files over and over could be that there's a sense of accountability. You
can always see when you sent your attachment. So in essence, e-mailing
files serves as some type of poor man's version control.
