Thread: 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?

I have used google docs and skydrive with success in teh past

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.

Thanks a lot Startibartfast and majurey.

Just one question: can anyone how does not have a google, scribd or skydrive account read a document published on the respective site when provided with a link to the document?

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.

Thanks guys. It never ceases to amaze me how much knowledge there is amongst the members of SRP.
