Simple private real-time sharing and collaboration by drop.io

Simple private real-time sharing and collaboration by drop.io
Last night a teacher asked how she could select research photos from the internet and somehow save them where her students (each working at different computers) could have access. She didn't want to save them to a thumb drive and then have to sit at every computer to download them. It’s easy to share photos, documents and other files with anyone online. But, if you want to keep your files easily accessible, yet private, things become more difficult.

Well, today, I have a simple solution; thanks to Kim Komando. How would you like a private site where you could upload files? And what if you could access it virtually anywhere? You can do all of this with Drop.io. To get started, you need only create a drop, or personal area. You name your Web page and upload your first file. Enter a password, if you want. There’s no registration!
After you create your drop, you’ll get several things. You’ll get the address for your drop. You can share it with anyone you choose.
You’ll also get an e-mail address and voicemail number. Send files to your drop. Or call it and leave a message. Your message will be converted to an MP3 file. There are so many cool things you can do with Drop.io. Take some time to read its blog. It will give you some great ideas!
