I don't want a cloud or synchronization system. I'm looking for a site that simply stores save games, associates them with different users, and then allows one to share these saves with other people. For instance, one could find all the saves for a certain game and they would be organized by level, with description of what items were in possession, if cheats were used, etc.

Is there such a thing?

How is this different from general file-hosting? Are you looking for any gaming-specific attributes? – Oak♦ May 30 '11 at 22:38

Save games can be random files so you need something general. Something that can store files, not specifically saved games. You could use something as ubiquitous as Gmail if you wanted and your saves weren't over 20 MB. Voting to close as general reference, plus it's off topic. – Matthew Read May 31 '11 at 2:41

I'm searching for a Game Save system, something that people might need, for instance, if they want to skip to a certain level. I think this sort of system would be very useful. – Solivagant Jun 1 '11 at 12:14

right, that makes more sense. I think you should edit your question to explain that you're looking at a site used not only for storing but also for sharing saves for specific points in games, as I only understood that after your comment. – Oak♦ Jun 2 '11 at 18:21

The closest thing I could find to what was described was Wiisave.com, however I also found save upload sections on File Planet.

While I also did find a few forum posts about individual games, and one about a whole series of systems, I honestly don't think anything that can store saves for every game, on every system, and index them properly exists.

I also am unsure if something like that would ever exist, due to the majority of saves on the previously mentioned sites having descriptions along the lines of "100% all weapons all magic etc. etc.". It would be an interesting experiment to attempt to create a working one, though.

I wholeheartedly agree, it would be very interesting. I have tons of saves that I would like to immortalize in some way, apart from my own storage. – Solivagant Jun 5 '11 at 19:22
Perhaps you should attempt to create one. Why, I can't think that it'd be too difficult to get the indexing system, although the fact remains that I don't know too much about web design, I can see a plausible way by using some Javascript, a .txt file, and the save files' names for indexing. – Edward Black Jun 5 '11 at 21:37
And storing it all using some automated upload site, or Amazon's cloud service. Interesting idea! – Solivagant Jun 6 '11 at 0:30

You can simply use dropbox. Making categorized public folders.
