OK, this is probably the third time I’ve asked this on the forum.
Looking for a free website to permanently post some pdfs that everyone can see.
Used to use Rootsweb, which was great until Ancestry shut it down.
Tried Dropbox, but can’t find the website address it went to.
DocDroid auto-deletes files after 60 days.
Tried wix, but gave up after struggling with the website layout.
Have you tried MediaFire?

Has something happened that makes you think that the probability of an answer you find satisfactory has increased?

I find Google Drive meets my needs for on-line storage and file sharing, but I’ve had people complain that they need a Gmail account to download stuff.
Google: free webste hosting.
Lots of results.
I don’t have any trouble with Google Drive or Dropbox at all.
I find Google Drive meets my needs for on-line storage and file sharing, but I’ve had people complain that they need a Gmail account to download stuff.
(FWIW I think the people who complain about the Gmail thing are probably just not very good at computers.)
This, for example, is straight from the drive:
I want to send a pdf to the European Space Agency, and to try it out on the forum first.

I didn’t click on your link rule but I went looking for my Google Drive account.
Found it and when I opened it it had your brain photo as one that I had viewed today.
HTF does that work???

OK, don’t know what went wrong with the image. Google drive says it’s shared.
It’s this image:
I mean also, I know you say “free” but you can own your own site for a pittance these days

The two pdfs are OK.
The other three “don’t exist”.
Google Drive is Ok probably but I prefer to use one drive.
You get a free TB with me office.
What do you get here? This is supposed to be a file folder with downloadable files.
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1JK8RXsi1wjYOwL7PAN1wgGMKo6_e0JTQ?usp=sharing
And try the main pdf again, please, from a different location.

And image again, please.

Define “pittance”. If $5 a month (or less) then I’m very interested.
Bump for my previous post on this thread.

For 10 GB disk space. That looks OK to me.
With a “.au” at the end of the domain name – only $11 per year. eg. “.net.au”
I don’t see a website builder, but that’s actually a relief.
just be careful with public information on whois

If you have trouble using wix, there’s no hope for you :p
You can try Wordpress, but I find wix easier. And I know nothing about website building. wix is easy.
Also to have .au at the end, you usually need an ABN (which is free).

Wix is easy, but so rigid – i struggled unsuccessfully to change the home page format into something suitable for a cartoon.

Do you know some html?
yes
If you have a decent internet account then you could always setup a web server on your own computer. You don’t even need to buy a domain name, just use your IP address to give your friends a way to find your site.
