Easiest way to receive files from Anyone (populr.me)

Much thanks for the Shout out to Populr.me! Crazy to think that YouSendIt is the defacto way that people send big files... I thought surely there were a lot of options, but not the case when I googled (drop.io had some cool traction until FB bought them and mothballed it)

Anyways, we launch in Oct so hopefully peeps will get some mileage out of this


Interestingly, you capitalize the same way as the person who submitted the link, and both you and the submitter are new accounts.


Hi, I'm one of the founders of populr. I know both of these men personally. Don't worry, they are not the same person. A quick google search can probably allay your fears.


Hehe.. I'm not new, just not active :) http://cl.ly/IYX9


I thought the easiest way to was a post office address and let peole mail them to you, certainly safer.

I'm not also sure I would like to recieve files from anyone.


Looks awesome. Would be great for file submission competitions.


Yes, this makes it dead simple. You can create a competition in less than a minute.

1. Find a similar form template from JotForm gallery http://www.jotform.com/form-templates/search/contest

2. Add an upload field and dropbox integration in it.

3. Add the form code to Populr.me POP


This is pretty cool. Love the Dropbox integration!
