eGroupware is a mighty and advanced "virtual office" and I am using it 
for a project with a lot of offices in China. eGroupware is certainly 
useful for file sharing (maybe in some cases a little bit oversized). 
One of the developers of eGroupware is in China (Real SoftService) and 
he is offering a kind of ASP or "rent-a-virtual-office" on a monthly 
base (including trial period).

If someone is interested in egroupware I can make a presentation. The 
only problem is that I am very busy. Please give me a response if you 
are interested.

Best regards
