Dropshare review
A flexible Mac-first sharing tool for custom upload and capture workflows.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Dropshare is a file-sharing application for macOS, iOS, and Android that sends files, text, screenshots, screen recordings, and folders to configured storage services or self-hosted servers. It suits individuals, developers, designers, and small teams that want control over where shared content is stored instead of using a vendor-hosted file repository. Its workflow also covers screen capture, video recording, annotation, automatic redaction, shareable links, and synchronized upload history.
Pricing is straightforward but excludes a free plan. The Personal License costs $39 one time and includes a native macOS app, support for 36+ storage providers, free updates for 6.x, and use on up to 3 Macs. The Small Team Bundle costs $117 one time and includes 3 macOS licenses, 36+ storage providers, free updates for 6.x, and the native macOS app. A 7-day free trial is available. These plans make the product a fit for buyers who prefer a one-time purchase and already have suitable storage configured.
Its main distinction is breadth across storage and sharing workflows: Amazon S3, Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage, Cloudflare R2, Dropbox, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, Nextcloud, Box, pCloud, SFTP, FTP, SCP, WebDAV, and a custom API are supported. Users can add passwords and lifetimes to download links, encrypt uploads before transfer to supported storage, create HTML, CSS, and JavaScript landing pages, and run a self-hosted SFTP server with automatic HTTPS via Docker. Choose Dropshare when customizable, storage-agnostic workflows matter. Choose an alternative if you need built-in general-purpose storage, broader platform coverage, or a free plan.
