Comment on Ask HN: Would love to see post-mortem analysis of Drop.io

Comments

My business frequently used Drop.io when we needed to do a quick presentation or even to get a throwaway email. I was at the NY Tech Meetup when they presented. I wasn't blown away but I did tell myself "that's an easy tool to use".

So why at times did we use Drop.io vs Skype/Office/dropbox etc... it's because it was a single button click. Simple. No need to have to do multiple email verification. It was as easy using Google or doing a status update.

I do think they didn't receive a lot of traction was because their premium services was that they didn't develop the tools that weren't 100% small enterprise aimed but trying to do a consumer play.
