With SwiftLoad...
...You can keep your precious files accessible. Files like that picture of you with your (girlfriend, boyfriend, spouse, partner, etc). But at the same time, you can upload them to Dropbox for safe keeping.
Why SwiftLoad?
Well, why not? SwiftLoad is a simple, feature packed, and beautiful app developed by a 16 year old. SwiftLoad starts with the UNIX concept of simple complexity and transforms it into a very useable app. In SwiftLoad, you will notice similarities to other apps you have seen, making the experience one that is more familiar than not.
The "Hacker" Spirit
No, I am NOT a digital trespasser, I just think different (get the reference?). To me, writing and maintaining this app is intrinsically interesting. Its a fun journey, and almost everyone I know is in some way involved. An app like SwiftLoad is not about the money, I do it just for the lulz.
