Drop.Io is a unique online data storage service that allows you to easily and privately share anything; photos, videos, audio, documents, etc.. A “drop” refers to a chunk of space and each drop has its own email address (for upload via email) and phone number (for voicemail, conference calls), and you can fax into and out of a drop for free as well. You can also add links, comments, and notes also. More features/tools include a Firefox Add-on, bookmarklets, widgets, twitter alerts, email alerts, SMS alerts, and subscription via RSS or iTunes podcast. A no cost account includes 100 MB of storage and documents are deleted after 1 year. If you upgrade however, the basic plan costs $10 per year for 1 GB ($0.83/GB/month). Drop.Io does lack on the support side with customer support provided through emails only.

In today’s business environment, it is very critical to be able to share information in a safe and secure manner. While email attachments can take care of some kinds of file sharing, there is a limit to the size of file attachments. This is where a nice tool like drop.Io becomes worthwhile. However, drop.Io is far more than a simple data sharing service, although it remains straightforward to use. Drop.Io possesses options to view the uploaded files in a media, blog or system view, record voice mail for the drop, and many others.
