Droplr seems to be a new application for sharing files easily for your Mac. It is in private beta, so I’m gonna show you a easy way of sharing files using Tarpipe and a small utility for OS X I wrote, Dropipe.
Create a Tarpipe Account
Head over to tarpipe.com and signup with your OpenID or your Google account. So no filling forms, just use an account you have with a previous web service.
After you create your account, you can create a workflow and you might do something like this:
This one just accepts a picture and send it to flickr (with title and tags) and then posts the link to Twitter. Tarpipe offers you a wide range of connectors for different webservices. Or you can just use the email connector if you just want to send to someone else.
Important! Be sure to select “REST API” in the dropdown before saving the workflow. After that, just copy the string token underneath, or keep the window open.
Using Dropipe
Head over to the Dropipe page and download it. Just drag the app to your Applications Folder, or your Desktop like I did. You might even want to add it to your dock so you always have it visible.
Now just drag some picture onto the Dropipe icon and it will ask you for the token string. This will only happen in the first time you open it. If you want to use multiple workflows, just install another Dropipe and rename it to your favorite name.
Then it will ask you for the title and description of the file. Just give it a title and the tags in the description and that’s it!
Check your upload history.
Tarpipe has an activity tab where you can see what you have uploaded and to which services it was sent. So you always know how your Dropipe was used.
