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.

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.

(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.

That sounds familiar. I wonder if I already have access via RMIT.

And try the main pdf again, please, from a different location.

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.

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.

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.
