Let me share how we solved this one. Mind you there are folk that think this should be some NAS thing but for the items 3, 4 and 5 you need a computer (even a small one) to do that.
We used a netbook and a few USB drives. Very low power at about 10 Watts.

Is there something that will:
1) Sit in my office hooked up to the Internet
2) Allow me to place Folders in it
3) Allow specific people into the Folders so they can work on files.
4) Allow specific people to view specific files only inside of a folder
5) Back itself up in case of crash
I'm not comfortable with On-Line Cloud Applications. Google Docs is cool but it operates with Office 2007 and all files have to be converted when downloading to my PC. Looking for alternative methods.
