Another favorite option is File Apartment (http://www.fileapartment.com). Easy to use, no software to download or registration, up to 1 GB, free option, safe, and secure.
Hey guys, you left off Copper Project? http://www.copperproject.com much preferred for creative teams.
Thx for the recommendations. I have already checked out OneHub and it is exactly what I am looking for. Thx again.
There is a new player that might do some interesting things.

Good list! There are some tools that I haven’t heard of. And I thought I tried them all when I was looking for a good web based solution for my projects
I chose Wrike over other options. Email integration totally rocks! And the interface indeed is intuitive.
Fantastic list! I’d like to add in our solution – OnePlace – to the list as well. It increases the ease of – and amount of – communication and collaboration around the work that you and your team are accomplishing so you get more done, together. if you want to check it out, you can at http://www.oneplacehome.com
I have messed around with some of them, but I am with Taylor and am using Mavenlink. Especially now that they are integrated with Google Apps, they are the way to go. Plus, their quick support is a huge plus.
Online collaboration tools enable people across the globe to work together on specific tasks or projects. The software named proofhub really helps me in that way but hasn’t seen that software yet, it’s bad.
Great list. Thx
You can put on the list one of the best tool I ever used moonlite.

Adding to the list http://vkolab.com is ideal for freelancers and companies to manage projects/tasks and remote client/remote team easily.
Thanks,

Great list. I am using ezEnterprise (www.ezenterprise.net). What I liked about it (other than free) is that it is hosted online and allows me to manage projects and tasks, CRM, issue tracking, notes, to-do’s, expense tracking, etc. It also allows me to upload documents and files to a central place to organize everything. It has a simple software interface but packs a lot of features and is quick to get running.
Recently, our team leader has decided to switch from Huddle to WorkForceTrack . Because it is cheaper than Huddle and has almost the same functions. As far as I know, they also offer some kind of discounts. So, I am recommending you to try this
Nice list! Some new players can be found here: http://www.vivalogo.com/vl-resources/free-project-management-software-systems.htm
as for our team, we use TeamLab (free) – http://www.teamlab.com/
If your project management doesn’t require lots of document handling and advanced notification systems then http://www.ganttic.com is a good choice. Simple enough to get all your team working in it in 15 minutes.
