2011 was the year that Google gobbled up drop.io, and buried it deep in the room known as "Stuff We'll Never Use, And Neither Will Anyone Else".

NOTE TO SELF: Startup Idea: Create a new drop.io, and combine it with some of the features of MegaUpload. Call it MegaDrop.

Facebook brought drop.io in October 2010
HAH!
Thanks for the correction. I had this nagging feeling that it might have been 2010, as I tend to lose track of time, and I could have sworn that drop.io's announcement said "Google". Anyway, we could use another drop.io, for people who don't want to be tied to Google's ecosystem.
A new drop.io would be awesome, it was a very good product and I haven't found anything else like it yet. Has anyone found anything similar?
What were the main features that you liked about it, but haven't found elsewhere? I liked being able to email files directly to the drop. I suggest that we make a short list of awesome features, and maybe someone will take up the cause.
