Huh - well my apologies for making an assumption. I suppose it depends on the role/size of company

Sounds like you work for a BigCorp

Neat idea - we were looking at doing http://www.usertesting.com/ for helping out with this

The point is, it's not just engineering resources that are valuable!

We have full native mobile SDKs as well for iOS and Android. Turk and Gdrive conversion are neat ideas - thanks!

Yup - drag-drop disappears on IE but the Cloud upload still works

Can you elaborate on the security/permission issues? It's something we spend a lot of time thinking about, would love to learn more about your concerns and how we can address them. I think there are two use cases for URLs as pointers, trans
