Drop.io for quickly sharing stuff
Posted on April 14th, 2008
I haven’t tried Drop.io yet, but I like the faq. It makes it easier to share stuff than by FTP’ing it, and it adds a little value to what you share when it can: It adds thumbnails to photos, etc. You can add to a “drop” via the Web, phone, email, or fax. You can set a drop so that it’s read-only or so that others can add or delete to it. The site isn’t indexed, so it’s as private as the people you tell about a drop care to keep it. Drop.io not only is free, it doesn’t require you to give your email address.

Hey, thanks so much for the support! We’re extremely happy to hear that you are a fan of drop.io. We just made a release with some interesting new features that are particularly useful for people working in groups (i.e. send assets between drops, which is great for people managing a few drops, send files out via email and MMS, and more…) Additionally, we have some really exciting updates that we plan to release soon, so stay posted with us at http://www.drop.io/announcements! Let us know if we can ever do anything for you and thanks again for the support, Alexa
