Introduction

Welcome to DropCard's private beta.

What is DropCard?

Use DropCard to share your contact information via email.

• Give a good impression.
  Your information is cleanly formatted an easy to read.
• Make your data memorable.
  The recipient is one or two tap/clicks away from saving your data to their device.

What is the goal of the beta release, and why is it "private"?

We think the site is ready for people to use. (You are not being used as a "dogfood" tester)

We want to start with a small number of people, that we know will give us feedback and criticisms.

Our goal is to win you over, and then let you start inviting people as well.

A quick start to DropCard

Receive the invite

You should have received an invitation via email.

• Subject: Invitation to DropCard

• From: DropCard <donotreply@dropcard.io>

• Tap/Click on "Accept invitation"

Create your account

The invitation's link takes you to "Create Your DropCard account" where you enter:

• enter a First Name and Last Name - this is a display name used if you don't set your "First Name" and "Last Name".
• a password (twice)

Add your profile and contact info

Use "My Accounts" to add your name and/or work info

• Tap "My Account" in the heading
• Enter Name Info and Work Info
• Tap/click "Update User" button to save.

Use the main screen to add Phone numbers and Email addresses

• Tap the "pencil" icon.
• Select a label
• Enter phone number of email.
• Tap-click on "Update (...)" button

(We use the same labels as Apple Contacts in iOS and macOS.)

Sending DropCards

Send a card to yourself.

• Once you do that, you should send a card to yourself, so you can see DropCard in action.
• Click on the big blue "Send Your Contact Info" button.
• Enter the email address or addresses
• If you want to add a personal note, enter that.
• Look at the preview of your information to confirm what you are sending.
• Click the big blue"Send CardMail" button.

Signon and Signoff

When you are done, you will be able to login to the site, using

• email address (that you were invited to)
• the password you created.

Your feedback is important

Wonder why some parts of our wiki are in green? These are parts of the product that need improvement. Many of those suggestions come from DropCard users, like you.

We don't have a reliable web-based feedback mechanism, for the time being, please send feedback to your contact, the person that invited you.
