Summary
2018-03-15: Group member asked us for recommendations if they want to consider using Microsoft's OneNote instead of this ELN (INC000002193658 - Lin - ELN replacement). And is also consulting with Leah.
- Apparently Dotmatics getting out of the small group market to focus on larger organizations.
- OneNote-based ELN examples Michael Hint found:

How store the OneNote data?
Main idea:
Use the PI's OneNote account and configure it for use by group members.

Other ideas:
- If OneDrive not usable, consider using Box. One advantage of Box is it can be set up under an "position" account. (Technically an Exchange Group Account (EGA) account.)
- Simply store OneNote files per user on a file server, such as SFS. Analogous to how group deals with MS Word files and the like.
- Use SharePoint to host the OneNote files for the group. Investigate options at Cornell, per:

Oliver –
Sharepoint is a possibility, altho 500 GB could be an issue. We don’t have specific sharepoint quotas, but that might get CIT’s attention.
A sharepoint instance can be created as a sub-site of arts / chemistry. It would require an admin in Chem (probably other than just the group) who understands sharepoint and can help the group with site formatting, permissions, etc.
A much simpler option for file / OneNote sharing may be to use one of the groups Cornell OneDrive. It’s easy to manage, only requiring the owner to set permissions on a folder or file (a OneNote File for instance) via NetID’s, with up to 1TB storage. Advantage – none of the web site / sharepoint overhead. Downside it that it lives on an individual’s account, rather than a shared University/Arts service. (But can be accessed somehow centrally by CIT, so they say.)
They both give live multi-user simultaneous editing capability, which a file share does not.
