IIRC, another advantage of iFolder is the ability to share documents 
over the Internet.  Check out the demo 
(http://ifolderdemo.novell.com/iFolder/). If they recently switched from 
a Windows environment, this really is the most appropriate solution.

Another option that comes to mind is WebDAV, but I'm not sure how it 
works, nor how well it works.
