Something like https://basecamp.com/?

The main challenge I am looking to solve is having revisions to a document present in more than one folder automatically updating in the others.
I don't fully understand your description.
- Putting 'folders' aside, are you saying you want your internal users to be able to edit every doc, but your internal users can only read a certain set of docs, varying by user, within that?
- Are you after version control or not?
Feels like just sharing a doc to each of Tom, Dick and Harry which consists of a list of URLs to each doc they need to see would probably work, as long as they can't browse the whole set?

I need/want a free, centralised, shared file system for documents.
The main challenge I am looking to solve is having revisions to a document present in more than one folder automatically updating in the others.
To date I've been using Win file explorer on a centralised server (for internals)combined with dropbox (for externals). But the challenge is having to update, and check, the various versions.
A diagram might help, see below.
eg when I edit and update Doc1 contained in: MainFile/something/subsomething/A/somethingelse and Doc 1 is also present in: External File/A Tom, Dick and Harry all get the correct version rather than me having to delete and copy Doc1.
Does that make sense?
Or is there some feature in Dropbox I'm missing which does this?
Cheers.
