My friend Geoff Smith created my custom ringtone for my iPhone. Many of you want that ringtone, even though your name isn’t Chris. Well, I finally uploaded it for you all. Feel free to use it if you have an iPhone. I uploaded the ringtone to Drop.io. Drop is a free service that lets you quickly and easily share files of all types.

A drop is a chunk of space you can use to store and share anything privately (pictures, videos, audio, documents, etc.), without accounts, registration, or an email address. Drops are not “searchable” and not “networked;” they just exist online as private points for exchange between individuals or groups.

Create as many drops as you want in as little as two clicks and set things like a password, whether others can add to the drop, and how long you want it to exist (you can renew later). Drops can be flexibly used in a range of ways from sharing family photos and videos to collaborating on group projects.

Each drop has four primary input methods – the web, email, voice, and fax – and a few secondary ones like “widgets.” Anything you input into a drop can then be retrieved on the web at that drop location.

Another great way to share files is through MediaFire. You can share an unlimited number of files on MediaFire, as long as each file is under 100MB. You can link to your MediaFire files from within MySpace or a blog. Use folders to easily share groups of files or create galleries for all your images. No registration necessary and no software to install.

Why would you use either of these services? Besides the fact they are free, you can keep frequently used files online for easy access from any computer with an internet connection.

What other sites like these do you use? Which ones do you find to be reputable, as opposed to the ones that are just not worth your time?
