Drop.io Has a New Face, Makes File Sharing Even Simpler

File sharing service Drop.io has undergone a front page redesign which gets rid of everything unnecessary and focuses on really simple file sharing.

Additional options like password, permissions and expiration time are now available via a hidden menu below the file upload form. Other new features include right click context menus which are now implemented across the entire site, a more powerful file uploader, an improved commenting system and several new views for uploaded files.

Despite its simple appearance, Drop.io actually has a number of advanced features such as geo-tagging, drag-and-drop file uploads via Firefox add-on, and support for Scribd’s iPaper for previewing documents. Furthermore, its API lets developers create their own file-sharing applications based on Drop.io’s backend.
