However, they think that it was too complex to ordinary users. Someone come up with a bet to automate this process and that was the birth of DropboxAutomator.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>It all started with a simple bet: \u201cCome on, give it a go! The market will tell if they like this service or not.\u201d Here we are some 5 days later, having been featured on all major tech blogs and having seen 10k new users in less than 72 hours. What a start, then!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And I think the users love it. 10,000 users in 72 hours.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the actions that DropboxAutomator can perform now.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Documents\n<ul>\n<li>Convert to\u00a0PDF<\/li>\n<li>Summarize<\/li>\n<li>Translate<\/li>\n<li>PDF to\u00a0TXT<\/li>\n<li>Upload to\u00a0Google Docs<\/li>\n<li>Upload to\u00a0Slideshare<\/li>\n<li>Sign\u00a0PDF (electronic signature)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Pictures\n<ul>\n<li>Upload to\u00a0Facebook<\/li>\n<li>Upload to\u00a0Flickr<\/li>\n<li>Downscale<\/li>\n<li>Convert\u00a0image<\/li>\n<li>Rotate\u00a0image<\/li>\n<li>Write text\u00a0on image<\/li>\n<li>Photo\u00a0effect<\/li>\n<li>Stamp a logo\u00a0on the image<\/li>\n<li>Stamp a map\u00a0on the image<\/li>\n<li>Stamp a\u00a0&#8220;dislike&#8221;\u00a0on the image<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Any file\n<ul>\n<li>email<\/li>\n<li>Zip\u00a0file<\/li>\n<li>Save it to\u00a0another Dropbox-folder<\/li>\n<li>Rename<\/li>\n<li>Upload to\u00a0FTP-Server<\/li>\n<li>Encrypt\u00a0file<\/li>\n<li>Decrypt\u00a0file<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Send info\n<ul>\n<li>Tweet<\/li>\n<li>Set\u00a0Facebook status\u00a0file<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>And\u00a0constantly growing&#8230;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I did some test on the service and I must say it is great for bloggers like me.

And it will auto generate two folders: processed, result.<\/p>\n<p>A word of caution. I tried to delete the auto-generated folders and it seems not to be working after that. So, please delete the automation and folder and start afresh if you want it to work perfectly.<\/p>\n<p>And for the text link, it seems to have a little problem. I tried to align the text to Right Bottom but it ends up in the center. Hopefully, it can be fixed soon.<\/p>\n<p>I hope that they can allow us to customize the picture size. Currently, they have only a few choices. Having said that, I still think that it is an awesome service.<\/p>\n<p>Do give it a try.<\/p>\n<h1><a href=\"http:\/\/dropboxautomator.com\" target=\"_blank\">Click Here to DropboxAutomator<\/a><\/h1>\n<p>PS: If you do not have a Dropbox account, you can <a href=\"http:\/\/db.tt\/hvCyJpO\" target=\"_blank\">click here to create one<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>[ad#img]<br \/>\n[ad#boxlist]<br \/>\n(<a href=\"http:\/\/thenextweb.com\/apps\/2012\/01\/04\/dropbox-automator-launches-with-a-bet-grabs-10000-users-in-72-hours\/\" target=\"_blank\">source<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DropboxAutomator is an awesome idea.
