Agreed. Perhaps a colon would have been more appropriate.

Certain situations where uploading isnt ideal (on mobile, file is in an old email, etc)

#8Nice. I was thinking about trying to do something like this but with one small added feature. The ability to automatically share the file and inform a group of users that a new file has been shared.
If you could setup groups and then once the file is uploaded to dropbox notify the people that belong to the group (either have a separate address per group or perhaps parse the subject for which groups should be notified).

#9I've used this in the past but came away disappointed as it regularly breaks over attachment sizes. I was using it to store my website backups in dropbox.
Instead of this, now I setup a simple python dropbox script on my webserver which allows me to do few good things:
1. No connecting to third party apps.
2. No need to go through email servers, I can directly store the backups to dropbox
3. I still added an email addon layer on it for other usage where I send the files to my own mail server and the script then puts them into dropbox.
