    Default PDF file hosting, anyone?

    I have been using Image shack for a while for uploading pics.

    However, I would like to use a similar service to upload pdf files that I'd like to share.

    Anyone of you that can recommend a, preferably free, file hosting site?

    Scribd.com is an excellent platform for this.

    I would just urge anyone using it to please ensure they only upload the content they own rights to.

    I have not updloaded anythign to either in a quite a while.

    But i think you can make documents public and private, and get a big more granular in permissions.

    I believe Scribd can be accessed without an account. In fact, when I issue DMCA takedown notices for infringements on there I do it without an account.
