Hey all,<p>Well after months of hard work (and even more months of dreaming about doing this), I've finally got around to finishing something I've started. :D<p>http://dropsauce.com<p>It's a file upload service where you upload your files into named drops. Sure, this is pretty much similar to some sites you may have seen before and although the internet is saturated with upload services, I still made this more as a learning experience for myself.<p>Hopefully you find some unique value to it and easy to use. If not, check the http://dropsauce.com/faq<p>If it becomes successful, great, I'll continue improving on it. If not, ah well, it was a great learning experience and I'll keep it around for a while.<p>I'm no star web programmer but I think I've done a pretty decent job with this (so far).<p>All comments and feedback welcome. Hopefully the site doesn't get taken down in the next few days. :)<p>Enjoy.
The site looks nice, but it would probably be a good idea to add a privacy policy. There is no way that I would upload personal files (much less sign up for an account) to a site that did not have one.<p>Since your site is based around uploaded content (and seems to be hosted in the United States, based on my amateur sleuthing), it would probably be a good idea to talk about the DMCA in your Terms of Service, and maybe even register a notification agent at the Copyright Office: <a href="http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2010/10/dmca-righthaven-loophole/" rel="nofollow">http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2010/10/dmca-righthaven-loo...</a>
I did something like this 5 or so years back just for fun - it was so I could move music files around (plugins etc..) I only told a few friend about. Had to take it down as I found some hideous stuff on it. Good Luck!<p>Yours is much easier to use & prettier than mine was.
Updated the website with an updated Terms page and the inclusion of a Privacy Policy page (both based on WordPress ToS and Automattic's Privacy).<p>Next on the change list is to make the add files and upload icons on the main homepage a little more obvious.<p>Let me know what you think.
Also updated the buttons on the main page.<p>Click here to see the before and after:
