Set up a yahoo account. Give trusted folks the name and password. Give slightly less trusted folks the name, and put their Yahoo IDs on the "may read" list.
Cautionary -- there is an email included, and anyone with the password can send out using it.
If someone is not on the 'most trusted' list, he/she _does_ need a yahoo ID to access the files.
Hmm. This'd be a "download the file via browser, edit the local copy, get around to uploading the edited file via browser again" type of workflow, right?
On the one hand: ick. On the other hand, free solution. Hmm. I'll have to look closer at how Yahoo is set up for this, including how much space an account gets.
(If the download/upload is an automated part of a revision-control-system checkout/checking operation, it's a little less icky to me but still a nuisance unless changes occur frequently enough to need an RCS. "Download a fresh copy in case the last copy I downloaded is stale" annoys me, as does switching back and forth between browser and other tools. But maybe the other folks involved aren't as easily annoyed as I am ...)
Yowza, Yahoo is slow (at least on dialup). Where am I supposed to be looking for file storage? "Briefcase"? 'Cause I don't see how to edit a file in place. I'll poke at it some more after rehearsal.
Hmm. I'm missing something then, 'cause I didn't see a button to go to (or create) a GeoCities account from my Yahoo login screen, other than links to non-free Geocities options (starting at something like $4/month, which, admittedly, isn't much, but it's not "included"). There's enough stuff all over that screen though, that I might just be overlooking it.

But it's free!

Slow? Depends on when, I guess. I haven't run into a lot of fast sites.
I thought you could edit files in briefcase. Let me look and report back.

You get 30 mb of briefcase, 15 mb of geocities. Not too shabby. (I think half the briefcase might be dedicated to pics. But, for free, take.)

That's it.
