Drop.io is a simple file drop. You create an arbitrary directory name on their site and upload files directly into it. Share the resulting URL with anybody else and they can grab any of those files. You don’t have to go through all kinds of complicated steps to set things up; you don’ t even have to register to take advantage of the service. They’re not particular about what you upload, so you can use it to share text files, documents, images, audio, or just about anything else.

More PDF malarkey
by cushty on Feb.22, 2010, under Tech
Youblisher takes your PDFs—product lists, multi-page brochures, and such—and fiddles with them to make them behave more like printed catalogs. Then you can use your mouse to flip pages just like a real catalog. Upload your document and these folks convert your PDF into a Flash movie that they host, that supports this flip-through-it behavior. Your users have quick access to your document, and they don’t have to download a PDF and fire up Adobe Reader to look at it.
