You configure <a href=\"http:\/\/sites.google.com\/site\/mjwarren86\/\">MailDrop<\/a> to monitor a specific mail folder or label, aptly named &#8220;Dropbox.&#8221; If MailDrop finds any mail there, it scans the messages for attachments and saves them to your local Dropbox folder.<\/p>\n<p>At that point, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dropbox.com\">Dropbox<\/a> service takes over &#8212; since it synchronizes your local folder with the one in the cloud, those email attachments are shot up to web for later use. And with the collaborative sharing that Dropbox natively offers, you could even share those attachments with your peeps.<\/p>\n<div id=\"inline-related-posts-55537\" class=\"widget inline-related-posts alignleft clearfix\">\n<div class=\"widget-wrap\">\n<div class=\"widget-title-wrap clearfix\">\n<h2 class=\"widget-title\">More on <span><a class=\"category-link\" href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\/topic\/mobile-apps\" title=\"Mobile Apps\">Mobile Apps<\/a><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<ul class=\"inline-related-posts\">\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"inline-related-posts-article\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\/2010\/02\/01\/dual-boot-a-handset-with-windows-mobile-and-android\/\">Dual Boot a Handset with Windows Mobile and&nbsp;Android<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"brand-icon jk-run\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\" title=\"Visit: jkOnTheRun - This is a description.\">Gadget Gurus<\/a><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"inline-related-posts-article\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\/2010\/02\/01\/how-many-webos-apps-can-a-million-dollars-buy\/\">How Many webOS Apps Can a Million Dollars&nbsp;Buy?<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"brand-icon jk-run\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\" title=\"Visit: jkOnTheRun - This is a description.\">Gadget Gurus<\/a><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"inline-related-posts-article\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\/2010\/02\/01\/foursquare-unofficially-checks-in-on-windows-mobile\/\">Foursquare Unofficially Checks In on Windows&nbsp;Mobile<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"brand-icon jk-run\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\" title=\"Visit: jkOnTheRun - This is a description.\">Gadget Gurus<\/a><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"inline-related-posts-article\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\/2010\/01\/20\/freeware-securely-takes-out-the-trash-on-usb-drives\/\">Freeware Securely Takes Out the Trash on USB&nbsp;Drives<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"brand-icon jk-run\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\" title=\"Visit: jkOnTheRun - This is a description.\">Gadget Gurus<\/a><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<div class=\"widget-bottom clearfix\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>With some rules or filters, you could essentially automate the whole process with MailDrop. Maybe you just love spreadsheets and want them in the cloud as opposed to pesky Power Points? Configure such an rule with that .PPT exclusion and you&#8217;re set. Since MailDrop runs locally on your Windows PC, there&#8217;s no need to provide your Dropbox credentials to a third party and it works with any IMAP mail service.<\/p>\n<p>Although this MailDrop software is geared for DropBox, other cloud storage and sync services work in a similar fashion.
