Review Dropshare?

Reviewers largely see Dropshare as a fast, dependable Mac file-sharing and screenshot tool that stays out of the way: drag, drop, capture, and get a link quickly. They repeatedly praise its flexibility, especially support for personal servers, S3, custom domains, and many cloud providers, along with strong support and quick bug fixes. Long-time users say it is stable, frequently updated, and responsive to feature requests. The main caveats are limited advanced image editing compared with Snagit and frustration from one user over separate iOS subscription access.

I switched from Snagit to Dropshare as my main screen capture and sharing tool. I love how fast, lightweight, and reliable it is for capturing and instantly sharing links. It feels much less bloated than Snagit, with solid hosting and control over sharing. What I miss though is Snagit’s “Cut Out” feature, being able to remove unwanted parts of an image and stitch the rest together. Dropshare keeps things simple, but if it added more editing options like that, it would be close to perfect. Overall: great for quick, no-friction captures and sharing; just a bit behind Snagit when it comes to advanced editing.

Sharing files, basically what the web is for, in different forms. There's always some stupid issues doing the most basic form of file sharing, let it be to a friend or in business, I need to log in with a account to receive a file, the file is too large for this or that service. You don't have to be a developer using this tool, use Dropshares own hosting or power up using AWS S3 or another server provider (watch a few youtube videos and you have your own white-labeled sharing solution with your own design, cool right??). This tool let's you share files, screenshots, screenshare share/screen cast with your camera video in the corner, all in 1-click. Your own domain, your server, no branding, not even in the source code!! Damn. It's even a cool service just to start exploring AWS and some basic coding. (Plug and play HTML and CSS)

I used Dropshare for years and I have multiple licenses for it, but have largely migrated away from it since I came to use my iPad as much as my MacBooks. Dropshare is available on iOS too, so I figured this would be a solution; except the iOS version requires a separate monthly subscription and there is no option to activate my desktop license on the iOS version. Conversely, if I were a Setapp subscriber, I would have full access to both apps on both MacOS and iOS, but the same privilege is not afforded to permanent MacOS license holders.

Hi Oli, thanks for the feedback. I have a lifetime purchase for Dropshare on iOS queued, that gives you access to the iOS app without a yearly subscription. Dropshare is a one-man show, and it's very hard to continue developing an app that purely based on one-off purchases, that's why there is options to subscribe instead. Dropshare turns 10 this year, and I am glad that I've been able to continuously support and improve the app with your support. Thank you.

I don't need to transfer large files too often, need it mostly for WhatsApp when the 16mb limit gives me a headache, the ease with which I can just drag and drop files onto Dropshare and have them automatically uploaded to my cloud and have the link ready to go is just marvellous. As soon as you start to drag a file a drop 'zone' appears on the screen ready for you to dump the file there, it gets uploaded and your link is auto pasted to your clipboard and you are good to go. Great app.

Being able to upload directly to my own server was the original selling point for me. But, with the ease of sharing from the command line and the simple drag/drop interface, it's become a staple application for me.

I just started using Dropshare 5. It does exactly what I need it to do. I found a small bug and reported it. The support was great, and they fixed the bug in just a few days!

Perfect tool to send files and/or screenshots in an easy way. I use this tool for both business and personal use. iCloud integration between macOS and iOS works perfect.

I have been using this app for nearly a decade now and this has always delivered! Never had any serious issues with it and the one time I had a minor, cosmetic, non-breaking occurrence, the developer himself wrote back to me within hours saying the fix would be pushed to the new version! Just WOW.

Very complete app. The app has a long list of features, including support to many cloud providers and servers. Also support for custom url shorteners. They do give support to they customers. I suggested a small feature and they added in the latest update!. It's incredible. Highly recommend it.

I love this tool. Highly recommended if you got to share files with family, friends or co-workers. Works like a charm and unobtrusive on my Macs. Support is top notch as well, I had a question and it was taken care of in no time.
