Dusseldorf, Germany – Your very own secure file sharing tool for Mac OS X has now landed on iOS! Dropshare is a tool for uploading pictures, videos, screenshots and files of all kind from your iOS device to your own server, Amazon S3 or Rackspace Cloud Files. Sharing files with friends, customers, colleagues or anyone else has never been so professional.

Dropshare is a secure alternative to cloud hosted file sharing. Instead of sharing your files via a cloud hosted service with no control and monthly financial commitments, just use your own server: Dropshare natively supports Secure Copy (SCP over SSH), a secure industry standard protocol for file transfers.

Additionally, Dropshare supports uploads to Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) or Rackspace Cloud Files, which both are low-priced file hosting services in the cloud. Compared to other cloud hosted file sharing services, Dropshare directly connects to your very own Amazon S3 bucket or Rackspace Cloud Files container, so there is no third-party involved at all.

* Dropshare supports Multiple Connections: You can set up different upload destinations at the same time and switch between them easily for each upload.

* Uploads everything: Dropshare is able to open files of any kind with its Sharing and Action Extensions. Upload directly from your favourite app like the Photo Album, or any other app that offers sharing functionality.

* Dropshare Sync: Synchronize your upload history across all your devices, supports both iOS and Mac OS X. Easily see all the uploads made from your Mac within Dropshare for iOS.

* Import your connections from Dropshare for Mac: If you’ve already set up Dropshare on your Mac, just export all your connections to encrypted .dropshareconnection files and import them on your iOS device.

* Choose your URL shortener: Dropshare supports URL shorteners as well – natively supported URLs (e.g. dsh.re), or configure your very own URL shortener service like bit.ly or YOURLS.

* Filename randomization: Optionally configure whether Dropshare should add a random suffix or completely randomize the filename before uploading the file.

* Swipe to delete from server: Whenever you decide that you no longer want to share a specific file, just use Dropshare to delete it from the upload destination again with just a swipe.

* 1Password integration: Use 1Password to easily log in to Dropshare Sync with your account details.

* Screenshot extension: Dropshare offers a screenshot extension for your favourite browser: Capture the whole website and upload it right away.

* Image compression: Images can be compressed within 3 different levels prior uploading to save bandwidth and space.
