While I have primarily seen Droplr used for sharing screenshots on Twitter and other social networks, the service does a swell job of handling your URL shortening & file upload requests. It can automatically zip and a bunch of…

Over the last few months, I have come across several specialized iOS apps, ones that are designed and developed for use by parents, families or close friends with private sharing as the most notable feature that they offer.
