Google drive. It can be set so that a folder is only available to someone if you send them the link. If there isn't enough room on one account, make a couple different accounts and separate them by subject.

Thanks. Unfortunately Google Drive offers 5 GB of space only. Yes, in principle I could create four different accounts, but in practice this would be a hassle, since ideally I would want to keep the library updated and this would require me to switch accounts frequently. It would also be harder for visitors to access the material, since I really lack the time to sort thousands of files into separate subjects. I might consider this approach if there are no other options, but I'd strongly prefer to upload all the files to a single account.

A possible alternative: I could send people here invites to Dropbox and earn additional storage space. If sufficient folks sign up (~25), this would provide me with enough space to upload all of this material.

Sure. How does that work? I use dropbox but never before for anything like that.

I haven't gotten round to signing up for Dropbox. Hit me up.

Same here.

Invite sent.

(I just noticed that Dropbox gives additional storage space to both the person sending and the person receiving the invite. So you'll get an extra .5GB.)
