When SlideShare was acquired by Scribd a number of years ago I closed my SldieShare account and move all my presentations to my own website. I had seen Scribd lock down access to papers, and didn't want this to happen to my presentations. In this article, Wikimedia coordinator of the KB, the national library of the Netherlands, explains why he decided to migrate all their publications from Scribd to Zenodo. There's a lot to like about Zenodo, as is detailed at length in this article. It's the publication repository of choice for many projects and institutions, especially those based in Europe. It's dedicated to open access, and offers some 500 different open access licenses authors can choose to use.
