We're a small manufacturing business that has about 20 outlook users. We are looking to use shared calender's so our install team and project management team can get on the same page for our installs.

We are currently using outlook but not able to share calendars and I believe it's because we're not using an exchange server. Hostway is currently our e-mail host and using Outlook 2013 across the business.

What's the best way for us to gain access to shared folders? Am I just missing a button within our current environment that will give us access to shared folders?

We have been using Hostway since the inception of the business. I'm just now coming into the business so i'm not sure if Hostway is good/bad/indifferent. And i'm not an IT guy, except for the basics, so if there's a better option than Hostway i'm all ears.

Thanks for any help.

should be able to click on the "three dots" for shared folders. you may have to contact your hosting admins to add/enable shared folders and permissions for creating them.

Switch to Office365. No HW, just Office and you get everything else.

I've implemented and managed both Exchange (2010 and 2013) multiple times. I've also done many migrations from Exchange to Office 365.

Go with Office 365. Not really a question. Exchange can be a nightmare on a number of different fronts.

Let MSFT worry about the infrastructure, including storage. Nothing like your company getting hit with an investigation or lawsuit and you have to set many large mailboxes on an indefinite retention policy... and then having to buy new storage just to handle all of it.
