drop.io

edit

Drop.io is a platform for simple private exchange.

It enables users to create simple private exchange points called “drops” which can be generated in as little as two clicks

Each drop can be accessed via the web, email, phone, fax, and widgets.

The service has no email signup and no “accounts.” Each drop is private, and only as accessible as users choose to deliberately make them. Users can create multiple drops, add any type of media, and share or subscribe as they want through email and rss. 100MB of storage is provided for free and tiered storage is provided at cost up to 25GB.

With Drop.io Location, you can assign a physical world address or location to any drop.io drop. Once your drop is assigned an address, you can then access the content of your drop from that particular location via a GPS enabled BlackBerry® device, a Loki enabled browser or our iPhone application (currently in private beta).
