At OfficeDrop we try to retain all the ease and convenience of paper while eliminating the clutter. The snippet view came out of this type of thinking and based on our analyses of how people try to find information by shuffling through a stack of paper. Today we are happy to announce another goodie that emulates how we currently use paper: the ability to annotate.
You can now add “sticky note” style annotations to any portion of a page, from within the page view of that document. Click on Add Annotation, Drag and drop the region of the page where you would like to add the annotation and type away. In addition to moving and deleting the from the page, you can also hide them all. Try that with sticky notes!
Here is a real-life example of annotations at work. I had to call customer service of our vendors, to dispute an over-billed amount. While I was on hold with the service rep, I logged in to my OfficeDrop account, looked up my account info, gave her all the necessary details, and when she gave me back a confirmation code for the refund, I could make a note of it right there in the document.
