The popular document storing service Dropbox has launched a new way for its users to share their content quickly – with a link.

Dropbox Links enables users to easily share documents, photos, videos and even entire folders by sending a link to their colleagues and friends. The link opens up the chosen content into a full-browser display without any setup, signing in or downloading.

“We’re always looking for ways to make life easier and solve the basic problems people face every day,” says Drew Houston, CEO and co-founder of Dropbox. “Sending files has always been a painful process, but now with Dropbox, sharing with friends, family and colleagues is effortless.”

Users can create a link by clicking on the “Get Link” button on a specific file or folder. Links can be created from Dropbox desktop, Web and mobile applications. Additionally, if the link is sent to another Dropbox user, that person will be have the option to instantly save the file into their Dropbox.

Email marketing service provider StreamSend has launched a new suite of social marketing tools for helping clients delivering messages into inboxes and beyond into social media destinations. What makes these new features worthy of note is how they simplify message management and spur distribution among fans and followers.

The Free Wall Tabs from StreamSend enable businesses to create and make a Facebook page using email templates in StreamSend’s library or with their editor to make a coupon or offer for example. Multiple fan pages and multiple wall tabs are supported.

Another new feature is the Social Share Bar, which lets StreamSend users include social media icons within email messages, increasing the likelihood that followers will read, like, re-tweet and share content from within the email and in the process multiplying the amount of impressions individual messages receive. StreamSend also released a share button that can be added to a browser bar which will enable marketers to share URLs.

“It’s time for businesses to start thinking outside the inbox and take advantage of the huge potential that email plus social marketing represents,” said Dan Forootan, president of StreamSend Email Marketing. “The email-social connection StreamSend Share can help you make with existing and new customers represents an unprecedented opportunity: delivering messages that gain momentum to keep reaching more interested subscribers while you track all that delivery to email smarter every time.”
