Send text messages to your Dropbox.
A simple app which allows you to send text messages to your Dropbox. It's a least viable product. Maybe someone will find it useful.
- veb 15y agoI quite like the idea behind this, really cool. Just one niggling question... how secure is it? Is it encrypted? Or can you see what I send? Also, why is everyone getting silly domain names?! .me .us .ly etc... what's wrong with the good ol' .com :)
- karanbhangui 15y agowhat would have been a good available .com for this?
- stanmancan 15y agoClearly you haven't tried to register a (decent) .com lately...
- a3_nm 15y agoIf you're sending the message in plaintext to them (or to someone), then obviously they (or someone) can see what you sent. Simple.

- veb 15y agoSMS are plaintext... d'oh. My bad. I guess a revised part of my question would be: do they save what I send them in a database?
- abhiyerra 15y agoCurrently, yes, so you can go back see the messages you have received. I will make it an option to not store it in the DB in the future.
- abhiyerra 15y agoHard to find a .com. But I can see what you write, but won't. It's essentially a Twilio application.
- magic5227 15y agowhyyyy
- riobard 15y agoNot sure why you are downvoted, but I'm wondering too why anyone would use this costly method instead of, say, SimpleNote.
- leftnode 15y agoYou have an old "feature phone" (old Nokia phones, for example) that can still text just fine, but not run more modern apps. This is a perfect application for that.
- JonnieCache 15y agoIn short: the southern hemisphere. SMS is the internet of africa, among other places. Maybe that wasn't the driving force behind the development, but its certainly a potential use.
- albedoa 15y agoThe majority of Africa's land area and population are in the Northern Hemisphere.
- JoeAltmaier 15y ago.. in fact, almost the entire land area of the planet is in the NH. Except Australia (mostly uninhabited) and Antarctica (nearly completely uninhabited).
- kristiandupont 15y agoHe is probably downvoted because of the somewhat condescending tone. As for your question, I normally use PlainText. I type in something on my phone and when I turn on my computer later, dropbox announces that transfer.txt has been updated which is a perfect reminder. This works fine except when I am offline (I travel a lot and often don't have data). Now, I could turn on PlainText when I get back, to synchronize data but I often forget to do this. This solution would work for me -- although texting to the US is probably going to be a bit expensive..
- evolution 15y agoI'd love to see such extension to todoist
- abhiyerra 15y agoI'm an Emacs org-mode kinda guy. Why I wrote it.
- chalst 15y agoSupport for country codes would be great!
- kapauldo 15y agoThis is a brilliant idea because of it's simplicity, but I'm afraid of being SMS spammed, now that you have my number. The todo list idea is great, too.
