free or paid service for uploading media

In order to put together a digital show for my wife's 60th, I am asking her friends from out of state to submit pictures, movies, audio and text files to me.

Can anyone suggest a website service free or paid that I could use for a couple months that would allow folks to easily upload media w/o them having to join or sign up for anything ? I don't expect a huge amt of uploads. Probably less than 2 gigs total. Thank you.
 
Thanks so much for the suggestions. I do have a drop box acct already, but hadn't considered using it quite that way. I would probably have to kill the acct afterwards, but that would be OK. I will look into skydrive .
 
Its seems that in order to upload onto my "skydrive" that person would have to have an hotmail account.

I'm sure they just need a Windows Live account. You can use any email (I just gmail for mine) to sign up for Windows Live.
 
It's called a Passport account. You can use msn.com, hotmail.com, live.com, or you can use what's known as an EASI Passport, which is any email account that you use to sign up with Passport.
 
You could setup a Shared Folder on Dropbox which would allow people to sync an entire folder across several dropbox accounts. So whenever someone finds something they toss it into their shared folder and it will automatically download to your folder.
