Currently, I email the file out to everyone. They save it locally, and then upload as needed. It works, but not efficiently.
I first considered putting it on our network drives. That would require our employees to connect via VPN to get it. That is possible, but even less efficient. They would revert to saving it locally, even if I could figure out how to provide a link.
I also considered putting it on Google Drive or Dropbox and just putting in the link. The problem there is permissions. While it is not super-private, I would not want it open to the world. Contrary to popular belief, not everyone has a Google account, and trying to manage personal Google accounts with our enterprise information just seemed wrong in many ways.
It is not catastrophic. It just seemed like it should be easier.

I think you've misunderstood. If you upload the blank document to Quickbase, you could then provide your users with the link to download it from Quickbase.
