Quick look: Droplr for Mac

Posted on 15 December 2009 by


If you’re like me you’re always sharing interesting links, pictures, notes, files and other stuff you come across on the internet with your friends, family and colleagues.  Often times I do this sharing over Twitter but other times I use e-mail as well.

The Mac has a really nifty way of allowing you to grab and drag most anything from the web and move the item somewhere else.

That’s where Droplr comes in.  Droplr places itself as a small icon on your Mac’s menu bar.  When you want to share an item with someone you simply grab it and drag it to the Droplr icon, dropping it over the icon.  The link, file, image, note is automatically turned into a link which you can then paste or embed anywhere or even tweet using a variety of Twitter clients.

Droplr gives you 1 gig of storage to play with and there’s a web based file management tool for organizing your items.

Check out the video demo below of Droplr in action.  You can download Droplr for free here.

I have always had a passion for gear and gadgets. It all started for me with the release of the very first Palm Pilot. I've always had an interest in handheld electronics. From handheld PDAs, to cell phones, Mp3 players, watches and other products, I'm the first person my friends, family and colleagues call when they need advice on tech. I have roots in the online tech. forum community. I served as the Administrator to Howard Forums.com and as a Moderator at both Treo Central.com and Blackberry Forums.net. Under the screen name “lgreenberg” I've amassed 50,000+ postings. I also manage my own YouTube channel under the user name larrygreenberg. I'm always eager to help.
