I’ve been using drop.io for awhile now and it continues to amaze me how useful this very simple service is. From the about section on the site:
A drop is a chunk of space you can use to store and share anything privately (pictures, videos, audio, documents, etc.), without accounts, registration, or an email address. Drops are not “searchable” and not “networked;” they just exist online as private points for exchange between individuals or groups.
You drop files and even can now start “dropcasting” things. I am sure that all sorts of new, wild and cool ways to use this “atomic” service to do many more useful and bigger things is well underway. By “atomic” I mean this service is simple and boiled down to the minimal essence of what is needed, but it can be combined with other things to create cool stuff.
Drop.io recently announced a partnership with Scribd’s iPaper and raised $2.7 mllion in series A funding earlier this year. A service to use and a company to watch.

Hey there, this is Alexa from Drop.io. You absolutely get the goal of our service and it’s exciting for us to have someone who sums drop.io up so well. I don’t know that I could have written it better myself. Thanks so much for the support and stay posted with us…we have some really awesome things coming out soon!

I have seen Alexa comment on other blogposts as well. I must say, drop.io’s attention to detail across the internet is pretty astounding. It seems that any post that is made about drop.io, there’s someone representing the company there to put in their 2 cents. More props for drop.io.
