Unless this has a file search/discovery feature I don't see point.

Thanks for the feedback. Obviously I am not communicating what uberzet is clearly enough.

You can do a keyword search. Also you can view popular files on uberzet. Finally you can ask uberzet to show you a random file.

I like the basic concept, but I am not going to give you access to my entire Dropbox; why not a subfolder therein?

In-fact you're only giving access to the Public folder. The idea being that if you're willing to share it publicly ... well you're willing share it publicly : )

In any case, it's obvious that I haven't communicated that clearly enough. Thank you for the feedback : )

I seem to recall there being an HN post about people doing this same concept and they just ended up with their accounts being unable to share files.

Hm - not sure I recall that. I went through a fairly intense app verification process with Dropbox though - so I'm sure that won't happen.

Dropship is what I was thinking of. Here is one of the hn posts about it: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2482712
