Summarize this article for a 10 year old
Drop.io was an online file sharing service. It allowed users to quickly create "drops", which could contain files of any type, and could be accessed via the internet, e-mail, phone, fax, and widgets. The service did not require users to sign up for an account, and each drop was private unless the creator chose to share it. Drop.io was named one of Time magazine's 50 Best Websites of 2009,[1] and CNET Webware 100.[2]
