Please recommend me a simple web-based document repository for keeping my small company documents (.DOCs, .PDFs) so i can access them from everywhere. There are many available o

Answer 1

The most simple, and probably easiest to set up, would be a Subversion repository, so you can actually store, delete, add, and modify documents from anywhere, and then add ViewVC on top of it so that you can see the different files from a web browser.

Another possible option, although it is a little bit more heavyweight, would be to install Trac. Again, this still uses Subversion, but it has a web-viewer for the repository nicely integrated, as well as a Wiki capability to allow for versioned shared editing of simpler documents. If you need it, Trac also has an issue tracking system, but you don't have to use it if you don't want to.

Also, in addition to the viewing interface being via a web browser, there are many clients for Linux, Mac, and Windows for the Subversion repository itself to allow manipulation of the files. For windows, the best Subversion Gui is TortoiseSVN.
