Droplet: Quick Drop.io Desktop AIR App

Andrew Christensen — Sat, 14 Mar 2009 19:12:08 +0000

I’m proud to announce the beta release of my first Drop.io desktop AIR application called Droplet. I built the application using my own Drop.io AS3 library. The application is very simple and offers the fastest way to upload a single file to Drop.io. Just open the application, choose your file, and Droplet uploads your file to a generate drop. Once uploaded, you have the option to upload another file (to a brand new drop) or view the drop you just created with your file!

If Droplet gains enough support, I would love to see further renditions of the application to allow more support for other Drop.io features. Until then, be sure to leave your thoughts in a comment below!

Drop.io AS3 Library Update

Andrew Christensen — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 01:46:31 +0000

UPDATE: I have posted what there is for files on Google Code. The code currently is considered as-is with no support.

So as I mentioned in this post, I have been working on an AS3 library for interfacing with the new Drop.io API. Since my announcement, I’ve been getting some great support from both developers and the Drop.io team. It has been a while and I wanted to let you know I’m still working on the library. I’ve got some free time coming up soon, so I hope to use that time to get something ready for a beta stage.

Keep checking back for more updates! My goal is to have it complete by the end of the year.

Drop.io AS3 Library

UPDATE: I have posted what there is for files on Google Code. The code currently is considered as-is.

So I mentioned in my last post about the new Drop.io API and how easy it is to use. Well, since then I’ve been playing around with the API in flash and accidentally started an AS3 Flash library for the API. Hopefully I’ll have enough time soon to complete it so other Flash developers can use it to create their own Drop.io apps. The image above is one of the first tests I was working on that started all this.

I will be posting updates on the library, so be sure to check back. If anyone has already started working on an AS3 library, feel free to post a comment. Any help or support I can get is appreciated!

The New Drop.io API: Drop.io Desktop Manager

UPDATE: This application has been altered. The finished product is called Droplet and be viewed HERE

Over a year ago I had the pleasure of working on the team that created Drop.io. I had built the original Flash uploaders. Since then, the Drop.io team has been hard at work and just last week released a new version of the site with a TON of great new features. My absolute favorite is the new Drop.io API. Getting a FREE key is simple and very quick (possibly faster than getting a FREE drop)! With only an hour into it, I’ve already managed to move, delete, and add assets quickly and painlessly. I can’t wait to get some more time into this and build out a drop manager in Adobe AIR.

Keep checking back for more status updates, I hope to have the Drop.io Desktop Manager available soon!
