Droplr is the latest of a growing selection of apps that make sharing files and links easy. Droplr takes the game up a notch by adding support for sharing "notes": any sort of text, including code with syntax highlighting. It even supports Markdown text formatting. Simply drag-and-drop the file or URL to the menu-bar icon and the file is uploaded and a link is created, automatically copied to your clipboard, and an option to immediately tweet the link appears.
The Mac-only app gives each account 1 GB of storage space for files, urls, and notes, with a slick file management interface that makes it easy to retrieve previously Droplr'd files and delete unneeded files to free up space. When first loading up the app, they grant you an additional 1 GB of space if you tweet about the fact that you are using the app. Brilliant promotional move (it's why I know about the app...)
A brief test drive has shown me a snappy, easy-to use app. Code highlighting was a little spotty on my few tests, but the fact that it exists at all is pretty neat. You are able to configure which Twitter client you prefer (including twitter.com) the app to use to tweet your links.
Droplr is free to use, supported by small ("but really pretty. Promise!") ads that appear on the page that shares your file or code. Give it a try and tweet about it.
