Well, looking at your website I wasn't sure what to do. Your step 1 is "enter unique name for your drop" - it should be : "upload a file to share" that's the main thing.
I would make the upload file the center, take a look at ge.tt :)

The idea behind mine is you can create custom urls for the files you upload hence why you have to select a name (or keep the random one generated for you).
It's a shame that some people just give up trying to figure it out without even attempting to click or interact with a site.
I appreciate your feedback but I can only dumb down the process so much :)
For example, Change from "Enter a name for your drop" to "Enter a name for your file drop"
On your title it could be - "dropsauce - Drop off your files at Dropsauce & share them"
Right now your site looks like it's about naming your drop. Not about putting files which can be password and time protected.
The reason for drop vs add button is because some browsers don't support drag-n-drop (they wouldn't see that option).
Maybe I will go back to the drawing board and make dropping/uploading files the primary focus and naming it or changing passwords/expiry more of an option.
Would hiding those items in a collapsable div be the right thing?
I.e. the first thing you see when you get on the page is to upload files. And if you want to change options, click to expand the form and change it there.
Again appreciate the feedback.
Taking a look at your landing page, I am immediately presented with an interface that seems less than intuitive. There are too many options in my face. If i'm going to drag and drop the file (this is dropsauce after all) why is there an add files button as the most prominent item in the page? Why is there an upload button? Can't you just upload things in the background and show me an inline progress bar ala Gmail?
