Dusseldorf, Germany – Independent developer, Timo Josten today is proud to announce the release of Dropshare for Mac, now available in version 3.3. The new version offers a bunch of new features for your favourite file sharing tool. Dropshare is now able to upload files to Rackspace Cloud Files – a frequently demanded feature that has now been released. Also, Dropshare is now able to convert Markdown files to HTML before uploading them. These & many other features have been introduced with the new version, plus a free trial version.
Your very own secure file sharing tool! Dropshare is a menu bar app that enables you to drag & drop upload files, screenshots and even directories to your own server, Amazon S3 or Rackspace Cloud Files to share them with anyone you like!
* New: Support for Rackspace Cloud Files:
No longer have your shared files on servers provided by companies you don’t even know – easily set up Dropshare and share whatever file you like by only drag & dropping it on the menu bar icon, securely saved on your own server, Amazon S3 or Rackspace Cloud Files.
To have Dropshare working correctly, you have to have either:
* A server of your choice and a working SSH user account at your disposal. Dropshare works with Secure Copy (SCP over SSH), therefore either a password (for keyboard authentication) or a private key (for public key authentication), as well as a web server set up to serve the uploaded files is required
* Or, if you don’t have an own server or SSH account at your disposal, Dropshare offers uploading to your own Amazon S3 bucket or Rackspace Cloud Files container
Optionally, Dropshare creates a landing page for each file shared, with either a default template or your very own design. If you’re a professional, it’s a perfect way to share files with clients on a professional level. And even if you share files with friends and family, you’ll love how easy it is.
Features:
* Very easy file sharing, using your own server – keep control over your data
