PDFy – Instant PDF Host

This is really sweet, but if I may, what's wrong with using existing solutions like Dropbox or Google Docs? Neither shows a paywall or login screen when accessing the shared links.

Unless you don't use either service, which is totally valid.

Dropbox and Google docs rarely if even show up in Google search results.

Will PDFy submit lists of content to search engines or be easily crawlable?

The gallery is plain HTML; all public documents are correctly (and quite rapidly, <1 day) indexed by Google. Unlisted documents get a noindex tag.

Both require accounts to upload files.

EDIT: And both are more involved than just dragging and dropping a PDF.
