Using Google Groups and Google Sites as web storage space

One of very important factor in managing our blog is to have (at least) a web host that we will use to store the archive files (pictures, music, programs, data etc.) which will be uploaded to our blog. Using a paid web host to store the archive from a free blog like our blogger / blogspot it's sounds really absurd. Fortunately, there are so many sites offering free hosting for storing our files, but looking for the best among them is another matter..
Beside Picasa Web where we can store our photos, pictures, and images, There are 2 very useful free web hosts which we can consider (according to the webmaster) to use it. Google Groups and Google Pages Creator Unfortunately when I visited Google Pages Creator Admin says that

"Google Page Creator is no longer accepting new sign-ups. If you would still like to create your own free website, please use Google Sites."

So, I ended up using Google Sites instead of Google Pages Creator, and I am quite satisfied with it.

Google Groups

Actually Google Groups is a service from Google that supports discussion groups, including many Usenet newsgroups, based on common interests. But we will use it as a web storage space, to store our files.

1. Creating a Google group is easy. Just visit Google Groups, than Click the “Create a group” button.

2. After Sign in with your Google Account (or Sign up New Account), enter your Google Group's Nickname, and click Continue

3. You will be brought to a screen which requires to enter your Group's name, and description.

4. After verification, because we only want to use Google Groups as a web storage, then we skip "invite members" by choose "skip this step"

5. Done... Now we have a new Google Group.

To upload files, click the “Files” link on the right panel.

And we can begin uploading files by clicking "+ Upload file"

Google Sites

1. Visit Google sites than Click the “Create site” button.

2. To use Google Site as a web storage, choose a Blank template, then Name your site, type the code shown and click "Create site".

3. We've now created a new Google Site. Next step is create a page and use it as a "File cabinet" ... Click + Create page link on the right panel.

4. Select File Cabinet, Name The Page, then click "Create page"

5. To upload files, Just click + Add file

And We can choose add a file from computer or web.

6. That's all..

You can see how to use it on Create a Rainbow-Colored Link..
