Share it with Grouper

Is there a place for a legal, workgroup centered, file-sharing app? A handful of people from AOL, including Josh Felser who sold Spinner.com to AOL for $320 million in 1999, think so.

At the moment Grouper is marketed as a consumer app, but SMB's are clearly the target market. At the moment networks are limited to 30 people. In most SMB's this is not a problem, even though from what I understand the number of users might change. Instead the small size of the groups, they are by invitation only, also make Grouper less interesting to those inclined towards illegal file sharing.
