I need a document library/repository, like in Windows Sharepoint Services, where the content administrator can upload documents to the library.

For example, the user might need to view documents at http://site/documents/doc.doc, or http://site/documents/doc.pdf.

As it stands, seems the only way for content administrators to upload documents in Drupal is by associating a file attachment with a node (this via upload.module, disknode.module, or filebrowser.module). Sometimes the user doesn't want to associate a document with a particular node, as it may be relevant in many cases. Or sometimes the page has links to 20-30 documents, many of them uploaded months ago.

Is there no simple method to "upload document to documents folder," rather than "upload document to this node"?
