I'm trying to help a wonderful designer who is sadly running out of space on her Dropbox, but is already paying for hosting service that has 100GB available for her. Is there a software that works and that is seamlessly integrated within explorer and updates files on FTP that you yourself can assign?
Thanks!

Hell in your case Id consider buying a NAS drive :) QNAS make about the best on the market, they can be rigged up as ftp servers, have almost a terabyte space, allow for windows and linux integration and make brilliant samba servers.

It all depends on your requirements, which you have not stated too clearly. Do you want Internet storage (web/dav/ftp/sftp) or storage within your own network?
If you are looking for a solution which is available for almost every OS and where the storage is located somewhere in our wonderful Internet-verse, webdav/s could be the solution. I'm not really sure, if I understand the statement "files on FTP that you yourself can assign". Please be a little bit more specific.

If they are using Windows they can set up an FTP account as a "Network Location", then you can use it like a regular folder on your PC. Drag and drop away.

You can try IQBox, my own free open-source project. It syncs using FTP-SSL by default (you can use non-SSL FTP also, but not recommended due to security.) It's a simple sync app for FTP. Official Download Page for IQBox FTP Client
What you are looking for is something like FTPBox http://ftpbox.org/
