QuirkyKapers Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 any suggestions of a way to do this without using yahoo groups or facebook? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andani Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Our group uses PBworks. No Idea how they set it up, but they upload instructional videos to share. All the members are given a common password to access. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obsidian Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Google drive might be good for the files part. You *could* use gmail/google chat for communication, but guessing that's not exactly what you're looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smudge Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 I was also going to say Google Drive. DH and I share docs all the time this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Mungo Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Do you want something free or would you be willing to chip in and pay? Service life is a website company that manages a lot of homeschool groups, scouting groups and the like. You can have a public page, private pages, private files, pay for events with paypal and much more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aggie96 Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 If it's just for file share, Dropbox.com. Free. Make a common name and common password. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandra Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 For a simple file share, I second Dropbox. I started a post a week or so ago and got s lot of helpful advice about sharing files on Dropbox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happypamama Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Someone told us about Homeschool Life, and we are looking into it. Don't know much about it yet, though, but it caters to homeschoolers, and you can set up private parts and public parts. So you might put general information and a membership application on the public parts, and pictures and files on the private ones only for your members.

mom2att Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 homeschool-life.com. There is a cost attached ($7/family annually), but it is so worth it. Our group has been using hsl.com since 2008. Very user-friendly, lots of great features, makes communicating with a large group of people all at once a snap. Websites can be personalized to your group's specific needs. Plus the people who run it are very nice and helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
