drop.io manager alpha
Jake Good
There's an exciting new service brewing up within Drop.io that will be
of interest to you, a developer/company... Drop.io Manager.
Think of Drop.io manager as a tool that helps you collectively manage
Drops that you create. You'll sign up for an account, which will be
billed monthly, that allows you to do 2 things.
1) Create your own "Premium Upgrade Codes" that contain style
information, storage size information, and access level information.
You can use and hand out these codes however you like.
2) Use our manager tool to get an overview of Drops that are
associated to your account, create new codes, allocate more space, and
"manager" your own Drop space.
Where this comes in handy for Drop.io API developers is that if you
plan on charging for your application or are a company that's
integrating Drop.io in a way that has to be somewhat monitored or
partitioned... you can now control and administer Drops and "Premium
Codes" that you create and hand out!!
For example, Company A is creating a new service based on the Drop.io
API and wants to be able to partition and monitor the Drops that are
used through the API. They want to ensure there's custom colors and
company branding and that each Drop is 250mb. You can now pay $XX a
month to get XX GB of space. You can partition out your Drops in your
API clients, manage all of them in the tool, and be able to allocate
your XX GB over many drops instead of just one large one or paying
multiple times for multiple codes.
And for listening to this email and helping us out, we'll give you a
50% discount on the plans... if you get in now! :) Sounds kind of like
an infomercial.
$10 a month for 20GB... == $120 for the year... Drop.io Premium
Upgrades are priced at around $200 for 20GB for the year and once our
Manager goes out of alpha... it will be $20 a month for 20 GB == $240
for the year... Not a bad deal to join now...
