Can anybody suggest a good free web space compare? Time Warner Cable just shut down my personal web space and I have no way to upload the NFL pool standings.

I found a few but they limit the uploaded files to 1/4 MB which is not much, the files I upload are up to 1 MB.

thanks

You might look at Dropbox. When you sign up, you get free space. It may be enough. However, when you "invite" others to join so they can share (view) a folder that you put up, then you get additional free storage space. Not sure that it will work for you, but you might give it a shot. You can also download an App to your cellphone or tablet and get access to your files.

We use Google Docs for work but everyone is able to revise the documents so I guess you would need a way to lock it. If you do a search for gmail documents, there are plenty of links for info out there.I don't need to have a gmail account to view the document though and just follow the link given.

MSN has OneDrive which says you get 15GB free when you sign up. I don't know if you need a MSN account to view or not since I have never used it.

I forgot how stupid dropbox is. You can't just open a friggin link, you have to download the file and save it before you can view it.

That's dumb.

Is there any way to make the link from dropbox open like a regular webpage?

I don't think so. I think by the person who you refer to dropbox downloading the software is how you get the 500MB additional storage space added to your account. I think I'm up to 3.5 GB due to all of the people that I get set up on Dropbox to share files back and forth.

You can also purchase space which may allow your visitors/customers to not have to download the software; you would have to ask Dropbox on this.

I know it's not free but you can go on webhostingtalk and look for specials in the shared hosting offer section. You can get find plans for as little as $1 per month and there are no annoying ads.

Thanks,
I just went to GoDaddy, and bought a domain and hosting. Only cost me $24 for a year, got 70% off by using a promo code I found.

I don't have a website (and don't plan on having one), I just needed webspace to post the NFL pool standings.
