Yeah. That way whenever you share that stuff you didn’t mean to share in the first place, it’ll expire and people that you didn’t mean to send it to to will no longer have access.

..right?

I’ve used DropBox, but one service I like is Droplr. It’s free (w/ad support), has a 1GB storage and a really simple interface. I think it’s Mac only though.

Dropbox.

But drop.io does look interesting.

And there’s something about the auto-expiration of files in senduit that’s appealing as well.

Been a huge Dropbox fan but I am going to be checking out these other two options in the next week to see how they work for me.

I’ve only used DropBox, but I love it. I love the idea of grabbing files from anywhere (and having a little backup). I’ve also seen this used for freelance stuff. Customer needs a file, both have DropBox, you put it up and they have it pretty much instantly.

The mobile interface is pretty sweet, too. There have a been a few times where I’ve needed to access something on the go on and the only device I had on me at the time was my phone.

I’ve got multiple machines and I’ve been using a Dropbox installation on each machine to share configuration files of my common applications. That way, I just have to install ‘em and then it’ll pull the same settings I’ve got on my other computers. If I update a project on my desktop and then open my laptop later, I’ll have the most recent copy of my projects, too.

All that to say that there are some cool things you can do with it beyond simply treating it like a place to store files, you know?
