Show HN: Dropbox Apps can be cool - BoxySign.com

Wait what?<p>You tell me of this service. You promote it here.<p>You tell me of its features.<p>You encourage me to "connect" it to my Dropbox account and thus authorize your app to my dropbox account.<p>ONLY AFTER I CONNECT YOUR APP TO MY DROPBOX ACCOUNT DO YOU REVEAL A SIGN UP FEE.<p>I think your methods are misleading and frustrating at best. And moving on to unethical and possibly more.<p>You should explain the fee prior to "connecting" to anyone's dropbox account.<p>Is there any reason I shouldn't complain about your practices to dropbox?

I like the idea of Dropbox Apps. A user can consume your web service without even leaving Dropbox (almost). To demonstrate the concept I built <a href="http://BoxySign.com" rel="nofollow">http://BoxySign.com</a>.<p>- Drop an unsigned document in your Dropbox BoxySign folder, and you receive a link.<p>- Share that link to receive a signature.<p>- The signed copy is then delivered directly to your Dropbox BoxySign folder on your computer.<p>You can do all this directly from your Dropbox folder, but there is also a web interface which the video demonstrates - <a href="http://boxysign.com/video" rel="nofollow">http://boxysign.com/video</a><p>Additionally (depending on how you architect it), it saves big on storage costs. You can store pieces of data in hidden files on the user's Dropbox.<p>I think this has neat potential for many types of little Dropbox Apps. Thoughts?

Certainly a cool app. It's a bit worrying you can store hidden files in someone's Dropbox folder though.

You should show the video more prominently. cool idea.
