How to: Sparrow & CloudApp from domleca on Vimeo.

Mac email client Sparrow now let users drag-and-drop file attachments as part of its CloudApp integration in version 1.4 released today.

Dragging and dropping a file into a message automatically turns it into a link; the recipient clicks the link to download the file. Users still have the option to add in-line attachments.

CloudApp is a file and link sharing tool for Mac. Tweetbot and Twitterific are among the applications using CloudApp [ full list here. ] To use CloudApp in Sparrow, users must activate the option in Preferences.

LAUNCH has contacted Sparrow CEO Dom Leca and will update if we receive a response [ see our Sparrow profile here ].

Other updates the ability to show older messages first, a pull-to-refresh feature and faster mail sending.

Existing users can get the update for free here.

Paris-based Sparrow was founded by Dom Leca and Hoa Dinh Viet in October 2010. Investors include Kima Ventures and Dave Morin of Path.com.
