vanwilder77··on Ask HN: Do you have a side project you want to sell?

Has paying users, and demand for features. But because of time constraints, I am not able to give enough time for this project. So anyone really interested in taking this further, feel free to drop me an email at: virendra.rajput567[at]gmail.com

vanwilder77··on Poll: Do you actually use the product you are working on?
I built an app, that could download file's from websites (that were restricted by my college's proxy server), directly in my Dropbox. It served my own purpose, now it serves a lot more people also.

The Indian media is too busy featuring the new CM of Delhi, along with some new gang rape that recently occurred.

Along with the Indian Cricket Team which continues to lose games abroad.

Added our Goal to the About page:

http://boxmydownloads.com/about/

Our goal: "We intent to move your `My Downloads` from your local Desktop/ Laptop/ Mac, to your Dropbox."

vanwilder77··on Ask HN to review: app to save files from web directly to your Dropbox
Thanks androidb!
vanwilder77··on Ask HN to review: app to save files from web directly to your Dropbox
actually, I m focused to make it easier for users to save files to their Dropbox.

I m trying to move that `My Downloads` directory from the users local machine to their Dropbox folder.

And I m starting that by moving their Videos, to Dropbox.

So I started that by doing this small thing (for videos).

vanwilder77··on Ask HN to review: app to save files from web directly to your Dropbox
Thanks chrischen! That makes sense.

I have updated the message. To -

"We will create a folder in your Dropbox `My Downloads`, and all your downloaded files will land in it."

vanwilder77··on Ask HN to review: app to save files from web directly to your Dropbox
Thanks onedev!

I think the same, but some people here, doubted that - `what if it screws up my Dropbox`.

And we dont because we respect your users Privacy. But just to make them feel secure, I had to add that line.

But thanks, I guess people have to trust us if they use our service. I ve removed that from the Homepage.

vanwilder77··on Ask HN to review: app to save files from web directly to your Dropbox
Thanks. I ve updated the corrections.

I guess it also comes because of my Indian accent!

vanwilder77··on Ask HN to review: app to save files from web directly to your Dropbox
Exactly!!

We also provide additional support to save the videos to your Dropbox for popular sites (including Youtube, Vimeo)

vanwilder77··on Ask HN to review: app to save files from web directly to your Dropbox
Its meant to solve the time you spend uploading huge files.

Coming from India, I m really used to slow connections. And where the Bandwidth is costly. And Unlimited connections are really not affordable here.

This app is meant to solve the problem of saving huge files to your Dropbox (since we upload it from our servers).

You just need to authorize us, and start giving the url's, we'll handle the rest of your url so it safely reaches your Dropbox.

vanwilder77··on Ask HN to review: app to save files from web directly to your Dropbox
Yeah, exactly.

Just right click on the link that would like to save. And it will be downloaded in your Dropbox folder.

Thanks, I m already in the process of building a Chrome extension.

vanwilder77··on Ask HN to review: app to save files from web directly to your Dropbox
It was suppose to mean that, you can use up your downloads, anytime within a year.

Thanks, I ve updated the message.

vanwilder77··on Ask HN to review: app to save files from web directly to your Dropbox
Also updated the About Page, http://boxmydownloads.com/about/
vanwilder77··on Ask HN to review: app to save files from web directly to your Dropbox
We create the `My downloads` folder when you authorize our app. And please we will only download the files to your Dropbox, which you asked for.

We are solving the problem of users downloading their files to their local machine and then uploading it to their Dropbox (huge files).

And yeah, if you give it a Youtube URL, it will upload the video as it is, to your Dropbox.

vanwilder77··on Ask HN to review: app to save files from web directly to your Dropbox
Its actually meant for users to save their files, really huge files to their Dropbox.

Its meant to solve the pain of downloading the files to your Downloads folder and then uploading it.

Yeah sorry for the url thing, I m coming up with a Browser extension soon.

vanwilder77··on Poll: How old are you?
next year, I ll be moving up to click the second most popular option! (Btw, I m 20)
vanwilder77··on Zynga Mistake Puts Random Stranger In Customer Support Role
I would expect Zynga kindly apologizing, for their screw up, to their customers. Eric did do the wrong thing, by making fun of the customers here.

But isint it a huge mistake that you wont expect from some BIG BRAND like Zynga to do? They surely disappointed their users.
