I was introduced to a very useful site recently, Drop.io, that allows you to upload files and share them with other users in a quick and easy, account free manner. The interface is simple, you create a drop name, or use the random one provided. Select the files you want to upload and give it a password and expiration date. You can provide an admin password for later modification if you want to… then you are done. Send the url and the password with your cohorts and life is good.

Beyond file sharing, you can also fax to, email to, and leave phone voice message in your drop. I have not tried that yet, but will use it next time I need to recieve a fax. You can also leave notes and comments with the files or read those left by your other users.

It’s really pretty cool. I used it a couple times while my wife and I have been in our temporary living quarters since we don’t have our own network setup it’s easier to drop something outside and then have her pull it down from there.
