If you want a quick and easy way to temporarily share files, drop.io is the answer. I’ve recommended drop.io to a number of people because it is so easy to get started. Just name the drop and it’s ready to start using. You can drop (add) files by phone, email, web, widget or fax and then share them with whoever you want via a variety of outputs. This is also a great way to share photos and videos, although you may want to upgrade the drop since the free version is limited to 100mb. From a designers viewpoint, I also like the clean, uncluttered interface to the site. There is much more to drop.io than just file sharing though. You can add voice messages by phone, send and receive faxes, receive email/sms alerts when the drop is changed and even assign a physical address to the drop for location specific content.
