I use Box.net for friends, relations to download files via a supplied URL and to post links to files on forum websites.

For example a photo of a diamond stylus www.box.com it could just as well be a pdf.

Terry - this looks good, and should do what we want.

I just fiddled around with Dropbox but that is a NO GO as individual email addresses
have to be entered and then each person has to set up a Dropbox account.

1343940 2013-05-29 05:17:00 In Google Drive you can do just that. One of the options is "Viewable by anybody with the link", which is what you want :) Chilling_Silence (9)

Thanks Chill - I missed that.

Terry - I have uploaded a few files to Box.com and it seems to be working OK.
I will wait to see what our committee members think of it but it looks good. Thanks.
Maybe we can use (Chill's) Google Drive for files to be accessed with a password, and Box.com for newsletters.
