Drop.io

I was doing some follow-up on my old posts (the 6 of them, heh) and I realized I didn’t post any good tutorials or resources for the drop.io post, I’ll organize them into languages and you can take it from there.

Free File Storage & Sharing API – Drop.io

Wednesday, February 4th, 2009

This is the first installment of a series of free file storage/sharing apis where I will look at all of the free file storage services that offer an api. Whether your looking for a place to send songs, collaborate in a meeting scenario or create mass mirrors, these apis will help you! At the end I will do an overall roundup for you where I briefly overview the content in these detailed reports. Up first?


drop.io being a relative underdog (in terms of market saturation at least) to the well established and rather exploded scene of online file sharing made free drop.io is where my money is at.

Fact Sheet

  • allowed: anything
  • space allocated: 100mb per “drop”, unlimited drops.
  • retention: “about a year after the last view” aka infinite aka duration of drop.io lifespan (thus – hopefully infinite)
  • api home: http://api.drop.io
  • key features: private (no google indexing), full management / creation of files through api, great retention.
