I just found this link for autocad that allows you to store and edit .dwg files:
https://www.autocadws.com/
Can one of you knowledgeable cad folks take a look and see if it is worth it for casual use? It is a free service from AutoCad.

I took a quick look at it. I use AutoCAD at work and this seems to be
pretty much the same thing functionally.
It runs in a browser using Flash and is not as responsive as the copy of
AutoCAD on my desktop, but it does seem to work. I suppose it depends
on your internet connection speed.
It is certainly a whole lot cheaper than buying AutoCAD if you already
know how to use AutoCAD.
If you don't know AutoCAD, then I am not sure I would recommend this as
opposed to buying or downloading one of the inexpensive (or free) CAD
packages out there. If one is going to learn how to use a CAD package I
would certainly want to have it on my desktop.
If you need to do a quick drawing and know what you are doing, then this
is certainly a quick solution.

Agree on all points . . .
I fiddled with it a bit and became quickly frustrated with
the latencies associated with remotely accessed applications.
We've go 3meg down/.7meg up connectivity here.
For somebody starting out to learn a cad system,
there are some much faster ways to go for $50 down
to even free. TurboCAD opens, edits, prints and saves
all the AutoCAD files on the 'Connection website.
You can get where you want to go MUCH faster by modifying
an existing drawing than starting from scratch.

For $13.00 on Ebay, this is a very good basic package, with
a lot of capability to open and edit cad files from Autocad and others.
