I need a host for .pdf files, etc.

box.net currently is offerring free lifetime 50 GB accounts, you can send a link to people to share files, and it has an iphone and ipad app as well.

I looked at that this morning too. The only issue I have with box.net free stuff is files can only be 25mb max. That might be an issue with files..

Do you have a Mobile Me account? You can just drop it into your public folder and people can access it.

No, I don't MobileMe. I looked at it in the past and found no use for it until they offered Find Your Phone. IIRC, it cost money, too. Find Your Phone has moved to icloud now. I'm not sure what will become of mobileme.
Mobileme isn't taking new subscribers and in order to use idisk a guy needs to have mobileme.
I certainly would think with icloud there should be an online portal to manage your stored content, but there isn't. I just checked at icloud.com.
I'm sure they'll add more functionality to the whole icoud thing in the future.

I have tried and abandoned all but fileupyours in the past, Adam. They just weren't what I was looking for.

Vic, I already have a box.net account. I even had the app on my iphone, I just never used it. I think I downloaded it long ago on my ipad and never got around to checking it out.
I just messed with it and it's perfect. Easy, simple, and direct-enough downloads. It takes you to a box.net page where the public preview the page then download. In order to direct link I'd need to pay a fee.

I logged into box.net on my desktop and still only had 5GB. As soon as I logged in with my iPhone app it upgraded me to 50GB. That'll do me good.
There's a 25mb cap on file size, but that's fine for what I need.
I think I can use it to host pics, I'm looking forward to seeing how that works out. I imagine they grind out a direct url for images, just not files. If I can't host pics it doesn't matter, I love Photobucket with my iphone because I can shoot and upload right from the app. That makes it more useful than box, anyways.

Problem solved. Thanks, Guys!!!
