I just needed something like this yesterday! What kind of security protects file transfers? Are they transferred through your servers or directly to Dropbox?
@shlomofellig Thanks Shlomo. We are working to ensure that Balloon's aren't attacked by a singular IP. We go through our server first, then to Dropbox.

Sadly, I'm from the generation where I need to know what something does before I know whether it will be any use to me :-(

I have been a frantik user of Balloon since day one. The problem i have now is that it suddenly stopped working. No support available. Does anyone know how to contact them? I hope Jordan Singer can jump in ;-)
I know a lot of people commented on the UX being not intuitive, but I actually really liked it. Super simple, fast, snappy. As far as functionality goes, I don't know that I'll use over Dropbox File Requests for 2 reasons:
1. It feels weird to not know who uploaded a given file (seems susceptible to attack).
2. I really like the notifications Dropbox sends when a new file is added.
@kicksopenminds Thank you Taylor :) So, we will be rolling out a password protect feature pretty soon along with a native ios app for managing your balloons. Later versions include expanding to other cloud services as well. Does any of these features interest you ? we would love to know.
Freaking awesomesauce! Great job team.
Suggestions: Some help icons, even if screened back, for those that don't get simple interfaces. An X, esc, or cancel when editing a balloon name. The ability to set expiration (5min, 30min, 1day, etc), upload size limit on each balloon, and maybe even file type, in addition to the password option already mentioned.
@kmullett Thanks Kevin, this is all great stuff. We're adding it to the list!

I get the whole simplistic design thing (does look very nice) but agree with comments here that the offering is very unclear on first glance. I think one of the main issues is, at first glance people don't know what a 'Balloon' is (in your context of the word). In fact I still don't really. Then in the second line of text you say 'Share your Balloon to receive files, ... etc', which isn't very helpful as no-one knows what a Balloon is at that point, how it works, what it looks like. An animated gif would be more help actually showing you....
@jasondainter Thanks Jason, we'll keep this in mind!

Would be nice if I could accept or deny an incoming file. I don't want random massive files to randomly show up in my dropbox if someone stumbles on my url. :p
