Can I use my Store to host .pdf files?

Hi Monty,

Auctiva isn't hosting eBook/.PDF/etc. yet, only pics. If they were to move to opening eCommerce services (see Poll I'm running in the Store Forum), it might be a logical extension to provide that function for those selling downloadable code or eBooks, so they might provide it at some point.

BTW.....There are free online services that do host .PDF and/or almost any type file for download.

Thanks Dan.

I'm searching on Google for those sites now.

Does anyone have have a site they'd recommend?

Thanks again, Monty

fjmonty,

One gentleman was just asking about download for eBooks in the Listing Forum, and I suggested that eMailing the book might be the simple method (and gave a link to example running auction).

However, a download is something you'd want to "control". I wrote a special software beta product a few years back and got sign-ups to test. I controlled access by storing the file in "Yahoo Briefcase" and EMailing permission grants for downloadi, i.e. the EMail gave unlock to download. I'm trying to remember if that required the whole group to have Yahoo ID's or not, but that technique and service might be worth a look. Just checked, and my old file is still there.

I'm thinking Google may have a similar Document share (or limited access) feature to checkout.

Thanks,

I was able to find this site for free pdf hosting and sharing....http://laurenstephens.net/

It seems to work for me so far...very low key.
