Yahoo Answers is shutting down on May 4th, 2021 (Eastern Time) and beginning April 20th, 2021 (Eastern Time) the Yahoo Answers website will be in read-only mode. There will be no changes to other Yahoo properties or services, or your Yahoo account. You can find more information about the Yahoo Answers shutdown and how to download your data on this help page.

A place to store your writing?

I know I have heard of places where you can keep word docs or data like that online, essentially "parking" it either so that you can let others have access to it, or to have a back up version of it. Do any of you know of a site that does this? Examples would be I have a story I am working on and some online friends who I would like to let read it for critiquing.

I would prefer a place where, unless I gave someone the address, they would not just stumble across it. So does anyone have any suggestions?

    If you go to www.freefilehosting.com, you will find a list of file-hosting websites, along with user reviews, storage limits, whether or not you have to sign up to use it, what types of files are allowed, etc. It's a good place to find websites to do exactly what you want to do--back up your files on the Internet, where they cannot be found unless you, yourself, give someone the link.

    If you don't have one already, register for a Google account. Along with their email service (which I couldn't live without), the account gives you access to Google Docs, which is exactly what I think you're looking for. It stores documents, spreadsheets, and other file types, as well as allowing you to access and edit them right on the site. There's also a number of other tools, such as Google Notebooks, that may be of help.

    I store novel-length fiction in my Yahoo! email account. I just email it to myself as an attachment. Then if something happens to my computer, or my home which includes the computer and any back-up copies I might have in whatever form(s), it's still sitting waiting in my email.

    When Yahoo says unlimited storage, I take them at their word.

    I'm not sure, but I starred this question because I would like to know too :-)
