Share Private Files with Drop.io

There are many file sharing services on the net,but I recently came through Drop.io. I liked it,it simple with a clean interface and easy to use.Basically uploading files creates a web site to organize them. You can password-protect the files, and anyone who you share the link with can add to the repository.


Drop.io does have a 100mb upload limit—so it's a bit more suited for sharing documents and images than music and videos.The drop folder can have both an access and an admin password, and you can choose what level of access (read, read/write, read/write/delete) the non-admin has. After you've created a drop folder, you can continue to add files and notes to it via the web interface or by email. Each drop also has a phone extension that will allow you to call in and record messages that are added to the drop.

It's completely anonymous. You don't make an account to use the service. There is no profile. The drop folders aren't search indexable unless you choose to make them without passwords and publish the URL somewhere crawlable. You can renew the expiration period of the drop, but when it expires, it goes away along with its contents.
