Send To Dropbox

Regular readers will know we’re dyed-in-the-wool Dropbox aficionados, relying on the service for seamless file sharing, even when we’re thousands of miles apart. ^{1, 2}

No surprise then to discover that Send To Dropbox - a service that allows files to be emailed to Dropbox - appeals to us considerably. The process is simple: connect with Dropbox, receive a unique email address, and start sending files (which automagically appear in your ‘Attachments’ folder after just a few minutes).

With automatic unzipping, folder organisation and more on the way the service looks perfect.

Though it’s provided free, and there’s no obligation to pay for anything, why not donate a few well-earned dollars to Ralph Holzmann, its creator; after all, his servers run on dollars.
