AirDrop for Android

Hello Folks,
We are two guys in a tiny office chasing our dreams, and our mobile file sharing app is about to go into Private Beta. We were featured by Android @ Google IO, so hopefully we have some tiny chops such that we won't be wasting your time =) We are looking for a handful of early adopter users who can play with the app and give us some critical feedback. The app is called Drop, and it is a simple, fast, and secure way to share files with people/devices in proximity. If you're up for the challenge, (and running Jelly Bean) then sign up at www.get-drop.com. Seats are limited, and we have a rolling enrollment, so hope to see you on there soon.

best,

The Drop Team
 
Wow, thanks for the overwhelming support on the sign-up gang! I woke up to see the sign-up console filled with names! I appreciate it folks! I didn't know file sharing was such a big and interesting problem, but I guess there's a reason why there are tons of file sharing apps in the app store, although they're mostly sub-par. Anyways, while I'm at it, if anyone would like to chime in, please list your top 3 features and 3 qualities you'd expect from a file sharing app. I'd love to include that feedback in the iteration process.

Hey folks! Drop is a proximity-based peer-to-peer file sharing app that is simple, fast, and secure. Drop just went live on the Google Play store, and it is the first Android app that uses a combination of Bluetooth and WiFi Direct to create a seamless P2P user experience. It is still an early release so there are plenty of kinks and interop issues, but we'd love for ya'll to check it out and let us know what you think so we can improve the product! You can grab it at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ekatasystems.apps.drop

Share Simply!
