file share

Looking for something online that I can post our business company manual (pdf files) so that anyone with an internet connection can access it.  Would be great if there was a free one that is easy to use.  If not something that is pretty reasonalbe price wise.  All I am looking to do is have an employee go to a website type in a username and password and view the company manual with the subfolders that it contains and the pdf files within the subfolders.  Any ideas?

Can you setup dropbox so only 1 user can upload and the other users can only view the files?

Actually, Dropbox is MEANT for 1 user. Other users ALWAYS can only view the files.
This might me not what I'm looking for.  I need to have a file sharing program that allows 1 user to be the admin and all others who login with a username and password can only view files.
Google Drive if free up to 15 Gigabytes.
Max file size is about 8 Gigs.

When you upload a file and share it, you decide who can view/download it.
You have to answer and accept/reject individual requests to view / download.

If that's too much hastle, encrypt files in ZIP (or better RAR) format, and allow anyone to download them. Then give the password(s) to chosen employees etc.

Use a recent ZIP utility and a longish password to encrypt files. Old zip files can be cracked.
For RAR (or ZIP) use Winrar. RAR is much better than ZIP.
You mentioned one user as admin, while others can only view files. I confirmed that's what Dropbox is all about and then you mention it's not what you're looking for?
