Hello, I have been running two Windows server at my office mainly as file server. Client systems running all Windows 8.1 for one server and Windows 8 / 7 / XP as well as Ubuntu Desktop, Mint Desktop etc for another server. I want to replace both with linux servers, I would prefer Ubuntu 14.04. I need suggestions for running it as file server, do I go for Samba? Moreover, if I want to have file storage like google drive or dropbox etc, how it can be done? Thanks in advance. ~Dipesh
