Just tried it. I like how fast this is! It's a good alternative to dropbox for a quick image upload or something. It would be nice if it auto copied just the url.<p>I would also like it if the file stayed hosted longer than an hour. Say I want to email the link to a friend, but the friend doesn't check their email for 3 hours. If they click the link the file will no longer be there. Having the droplink icon in the top menu bar would be great, instead of having it in the dock.
Pretty awesome! I have an almost daily need for something like this when sending files to people over chat/irc.<p>Your link creation needs some work, however. I can't paste the link into a non-RTF box (this input box for HN, for example). You should reverse-engineer how Safari creates links when they're copied to clipboard and do the same.<p>For example, if you right click on any title on any website, and copy a link, you will notice that when you paste it to an RTF box, you get the same behavior as what you currently do but when you paste it into Terminal, you get the URL. When I paste Dropsend "URL" to Terminal, IRC or to Safari's address bar, I get nothing.
Is it just me or was there no audio in the video?<p>I think divia's problem is that there is no documentation in the program itself. I downloaded it and unzipped it, and ran it. After entering the registration code I had no clue what to do. The program seems to just "end".<p>I had seen the video so I figured that I should try dragging a file onto it. I added it to my launcher and it works as it does in the video, but had I not seen the video I wouldn't have known to do that.<p>I suggest that after you accept the registration code you ask if the user wants it installed in the menu bar. Also I suggest telling the user that they can drag files to it to upload them. Perhaps embed the video at that point again.<p>Hope this helps.
Jer<p>EDIT: I also find mac programs distributed as .zip to be annoying. I strongly prefer .dmg files. Also, why is my "Downloads" icon now the same as Droplink's?
There's a Dropbox Droplet (<a href="http://wiki.getdropbox.com/DropboxAddons/Dropbox%20Droplet" rel="nofollow">http://wiki.getdropbox.com/DropboxAddons/Dropbox%20Droplet</a>) that does essentially this. For somebody who doesn't have Dropbox, this tool seems cool, but I wouldn't go to the effort of adding yet another tool when Dropbox is close enough.
You should work on the website's design, there is a lack of unicity.<p>The screencast is too short, you should describe to us what you're doing, why you're doing it and the result.
How does it compare to dockdrop? <a href="http://dockdropx.com/" rel="nofollow">http://dockdropx.com/</a><p>Is it just stored on your servers vs. my own?
