Lunchtime Thoughts: Drop.io
Ah Mondays, after a weekend of doing rather little I’m back to work and full of energy and ideas. Whilst doing my usual rounds of the web I stumbled across this awesome little website.
Drop.io
Drop.io looks fairly simple from the outset, and retains the simple, intuitive interface all the way through the site. The best way I can sum it up is a mix of Dropsend, Twitter and Pastie.
Basically you can share files, links, text, media or what ever in a twitter style without ever having to signup. You can upload up to 100mb of files in a single ‘drop’ and then you (or other people) can add messages and other files later on. You can also password protect it if it’s private stuff.
All very handy as a simple, quick file sharing tool if your files are too big for email or IM and then it kicks it up a notch. If you’ve uploaded music or video then it recognizes it’s format and has a funky inbuilt browser for playing that stuff which was a nice suprise.
I’ve uploaded an example file, feel free to add notes or media to it: http://drop.io/appleadsong/
Oh and of course it’s powered by.. Rails!
I’ve not had any lunch yet today
