Quickly Save and Store Files, Text and Photos in the Cloud
Posted on January 26, 2012 at 5:19 am
When it comes to cloud storage, there seems to be two schools of thought—either you copy/paste text somewhere to access it later, or you upload files that can be downloaded later. Our favorite storage services are generally the ones where we store files in a familiar file folder structure, but we see the value in storing copied and pasted information too.
If you want the best of both worlds without anything to download and a simple drag-and-drop interface, try Hopper.
Hopper is designed specifically for those of us who email ourselves text and files routinely, so its interface is supposed to be much simpler and quicker than email. To start using Hopper, click, Sign up at the top right of the page.
Enter your email address and a password, then click Sign up.
Your hopper then opens. Your hopper is simply a box outlined by a dotted line. In this box, you can paste text or drag and drop files from your computer. Text retains its formatting, and files are archived to be accessed from anywhere.
As you accumulate files and pasted material, you can search through all items in your hopper using the search bar at the top of the screen.
If you like the service, you can drag a bookmarklet to your browser’s bookmark toolbar for easy access to Hopper.
Hopper’s best feature is that you do not need to download anything to use it. You can literally just drag and drop files into the box and like magic, they upload. The service would be more useful if it were optimized for mobile devices. One of the reasons we gravitate towards other file storage services is the virtually seamless experience between our tablets, phones and computers. Hopper does not mention their future plans on their Website, but we hope they include a mobile app in the near future.
