Best way to share and edit a file online.

milltown

I have a spreadsheet with family details that I would like the whole family to be able to access (not a problem) and update (problem). What, if any, is the best way to go about this?

Initial thought was an FTP site using my BB provided space but a dry run seemed to suggest that the file could be opened and edited but not saved back to the original location by a remote user.

Free hosting like putfile.com will only allow viewing, not editing, yes?

Is there another way? Or is FTP the only realistic, and free, option? I will admit that the dry run was simply mailing the link, opening, editing and trying to save. I am trying to avoid having to give tutorials to the whole family, so keeping it simple.

Thanks in advance.

Yep, Google documents is your best bet. We use these for projects, everyone can edit the documents online and we can chat as a group about it while we do it. It can be used for both documents and spreadsheets so should serve your purpose
