X-Squared featured in Inc.com article on drop.io

Those who follow us on Twitter know that drop.io is one of our favorite tools. We use it to collaborate with clients, to send files without taking up valuable inbox space (companies have been known to enforce miniscule Exchange inbox sizes), and even to share music playlists.
Howard Greenstein of Inc.com published a story today(“Stop, Collaborate, and Listen“) on drop.io and asked David to comment on how drop.io can help SMBs in service delivery.
It’s a good story that outlines the more basic features that drop.io offers. There is so much more available, both through the front-end and via drop.io’s RESTful API. In fact, David has been working on a Salesforce-drop.io integration that will allow inexpensive file storage and selective file-sharing with clients.
Please read Howard’s story and give drop.io a shot – you’ll enjoy it.
