File+Sharing

How does Drop.io work? Let's watch a short video.

//Drop.io is an easy way to share websites AND files online. To get started simply set up a private space to drop any files by phone, email,web, widget, or fax and then share them with whoever you want just by giving them the web address and password (if you have one.) //

__Pros:__ > if you choose to. __Cons:__
 * You can access your files from any computer that is connected to the Internet.
 * You
 * Students can access work from home or another computer.
 * Students do not need an email account to access dropio only the password you put on each individual drop.
 * You can share your drop.io with others.
 * You can upgrade to 1 gb of storage for $10.00.
 * You can have as many drop.ios as you want.
 * The free drop.io is only 100 mgs
 * If you do not have a connection to the internet you can not access the dropio.
