how to transform a folder of text files into a wiki
file sharing service that allows anyone to search your files
file sharing service that turns your files into a wiki

just drag and drop the text files into tiddlywiki, and this tiddlywiki (which resides in one single html file) can be hosted on google drive.

Could the 4shared website be the answer?

Maybe it is not the answer because it doesn't display the contents of a text file. The user would have to download each file/page to view it.

I asked wikispaces about this 05-28-2014d1421

I made a post on stackoverflow

I was searching on the internet for the following terms:

file sharing service that allows anyone to search your files

file sharing service that turns your files into a wiki

I have a folder of text files that is kind of like my personal wiki, and I want anyone on the internet to be able to view and search through these files. Is there some way I could accomplish this? Are you aware of some service or method which would allow me to accomplish this?

I know that there are many cloud storage services such as Dropbox, Box, OneDrive, Google Drive, etc. which allow you to share files with others. However, as far as I am aware none of them meet all of the following criteria: search inside text files (not just the filename), allow others to search all of your files (or all the files in a folder) without requiring a login, display the contents of the text file (rather than requiring the user to login). I also know there are many wiki services such as wikispaces. However, I want to take an existing folder of text files and basically transform it into a wiki people can access online. I don't want to have to manually recreate the pages/files by using the user interface of the wiki service.

Does anyone have a solution for me?
