Uploading
Upload from the terminal, the admin page, or the HTTP API.
From the terminal

jalco-drop ~/skills/my-skill # a folder, zipped for you
git diff | jalco-drop -n fix.diff -e 7d # stdin, with a name and expiry
jalco-drop -p hunter2 report.pdf # password protected
jalco-drop -s demo slides.html # a readable link: /demo
jalco-drop -l # list drops
jalco-drop -d demo # delete one

Set JALCO_DROP_URL and JALCO_DROP_TOKEN first. The token can be the admin token or a named token.
From the admin page

Over HTTP
curl -X POST "https://drop.example.com/api/items?name=notes.md&expires=7d" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $JALCO_DROP_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: text/markdown" \
-H "X-Drop-Password: hunter2" \
--data-binary @notes.md
The response is { "slug": "...", "url": "..." }. See the API reference for listing and deleting.
