CloudApp is one great way to share your files elegantly. And the features they provide even with their free accounts are great

  • Create unlimited bookmarks
  • Upload 10 files a day (max file size 25MB)
  • Update: keep your files forever

The only problem is it’s Mac OS centric, but the CloudApp team provides developers a nice api so that other platforms don’t get left out.

Here is one such attempt of bringing CloudApp to Linux - py-cloudapp. As the name suggests, it’s a multi-threaded python application which allows you to drag-drop-upload files into CloudApp and auto clipboard copy links into the clipboard.

Drop targetTray icon

Here are a few main features

  • Add/Delete/View files on CloudApp.
  • Auto Clipboard copy support.
  • Notification Support - libnotify support (linux)

Just make sure you install the following dependencies from your distro’s repositories.

  • Py-Qt
  • Python (>2.5)

Try it out guys, let me know of any bugs and suggestions on the github page. For the next version, I have things like better notifications and screenshots lined up.
