Drop.io: My new online file storing obsession

My current obsession in the workplace is drop.io. Wow, why hasn't someone thought of this before. I'm a huge fan of office productivity tools, and drop.io is perfect for companies who a) don't have an internal file server, or b) have a max file size on their outgoing emails. Plus, its password protected. Plus, there's no registration required. Plus, it's free.

Any downsides? As with any file hosting app, obviously there are restrictions for non-paying users (max free upload size is 100mb), but this app couldn't be more user friendly. Anytime I don't have to hand out my email for verification purposes is a time when I break out the champagne.

A huge feature is the availability to choose your own sub-domain on drop.io where your files will be stored. This sub-domain acts as a directory of sorts where all of your files will be hosted, so a user can select a few files and drop them all in the same spot, under a password (no user name required) and viola, instant protected file nougat-y goodness.

And wow, is the user interface wonderful. A proper UI should be intuitive, and never require explanation to anyone. Drop.io accomplishes this flawlessly, even co-workers with little application experience should be able to get the hang of this site without an explanation or how to use it.

Yes, a perfect score.

Drop.io is pushing the limits of what it means to host files online. Not enough space? They have a snazzy calculator that caters to incredibly customized file storing solutions; ie. 1 yr * 1 gb * 1 use = $10. Yes, I can get more space for free one other sites, but for this sort of functionality with the added benefit of password protecting your private data, I might just skip dinner tonight and get a drop.io account.
