Next steps!

Because of the steady increment of users, some of the features will take more resources of the server, we are having some expenses to maintain and improve the quality of the service we offer you. 

That's why we are going to charge a fee fair and affordable for everyone. There will be the option of a "Dropial PRO" account, billed monthly at $5.99 on a rolling contract or $49.99 for a year’s subscription, giving user’s full access to Dropial’s advanced features including updates.

Although, the basic loop of Drops will be for free. With a free account you can have enough Drop in a single schedule. If you want to have more schedules or insert pictures in the Drops, you will have to upgrade to the PRO account.

The new updates will improve the usability of the software. Also you will see a log screen to see what's going on, and so much more.

Keep in touch, and wait for the new post next week.


All the best.

New Feature: Send images!

Hello!

The new feature is UP! Now you can attach images into Drops.

It's really easy to use, just add a new Drop and you will find the input to select a file from your computer:


The image will be saved in Dropial APP server. Then, every time the Drop is sent, the image will be attached in into the Tweet. There is no size limit to upload, but the file will be reduced to 600px wide by 1200px tall if is bigger.


Please note that Twitter supports JPE, PNG and GIF files. Animated GIF are not supported so Twitter will reject the Drop.

Also note that attaching an image to a Drop will cut 22 chars from it. This is for the Twitter image wrapper. Also exist wrappers to links, that's why if you add a link lose 2 chars or 3 chars if the link is https.

The issue when the APP accept the 140 chars including the links was solved.

There are many things to do yet. Next week we will inform about the new roadmap we have. So stay connected to the blog!

Meanwhile this feature is free... But will be charged in the future not too far. So enjoy it now!


Regards,
Dropial Team.
