Is there a way to store large files on a Ning network for download?

[Denis]

That kind of page we find on lots of websites called download center.

Is it possible to create a download page on a Ning website?

I'd appreciate any ideas even if they involve third parties.

I think Ning has a size limit.

Loot at the Amazon S3 cloud. http://aws.amazon.com/s3/pricing/

It is extremely cheap.  Get the Firefox plugin: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/amazon-s3-organizers...

For a drag and drop.

Then create a download button linking to the file...

i also suggest minus.com

You could upload your files via your File Manager, then create a dedicated page with the links to these files.

Thanks for the tips. Minus.com is very neatly presented and I will explore it further today.

I thought the Ning file manager was only for NCs to back up site content. Will take a look at it again.

[Patrick Chappelle]

No, the Archiver is for backing up your content. I use the File Manager for a wide variety of things, among them my network's theme, my sign up button, and my log in background. You can also use it to host your splash page, which I'm going to create next year.

Thanks a lot. We misunderstand some of these details all the time. I have just checked.

[Patrick Chappelle]

You're welcome, Denis.
