Online File storage/hosting

[Lboro fox]

Right i am looking for a website (free of course) that lets you upload files. It would be useful if they were on a web page format so that i could send out 1 link to the page, then people could download several of the files as they required.

Is there anything like this available?

What about folders?

I wanna upload a few folders for storage, be able to browse the folder like in windows and d/load individual files when needed.

Don't mind paying.

Any recommendations?

Google Documents might suit you better than Rapidshare. http://docs.google.com/

But would he be able to share the docs from there?
I think you need a Gmail address for anybody who wants to access them. It can also be a bit quirky with files created in MS Office.

Godaddy do this, I've not used it but I have used them for other things and they've been OK. It's called Online File Folders, in the Email menu on their site.
About a fiver a year for 1,000MB of storage.

You're right. I tested it before posting, by sending a sharing invite to one of my non Google addresses and it worked. But thats because I was already logged into Google. I've now tested it after clearing my cookies and it asked me to log in to Google.
