A DropBox InBox. A One Way Link To Drop Files.

DropBox is an amazing concept. Here's how to make it even better.
DropBox was one of the first cloud storage systems that actually worked, because they found a way to make it easy. All you have to do is install their software, then everything you place into your DropBox folder on your own computer is automatically backed up to the cloud.
If you install the software on multiple computers, every file you put into your DropBox also gets copies to every computer linked to your account. They also lets you create links to individual files or folder, so you can share with friends, family, or collaborate with coworkers.
Taking it one step further, it would be great if you could share links that limit people to just "Dropping" files into your account, without letting them see or access anything in the account.
A DropBox InBox would even prevent people from seeing a list of the filenames in your account. All they can do is upload files.
