Category Price Seller Device
Productivity Free Timo Josten iPhone, iPad, iPod

Please note: Dropshare is not free! Dropshare Pro (one-time In-App Purchase) is required to upload files to your own server (via SCP over SSH), Amazon S3, any S3 API-compliant service (like OpenStack Swift), Rackspace Cloud Files, Backblaze B2 Cloud Files or Google Drive. The app is free only for subscribers of Dropshare Cloud.

Dropshare supports Multiple Connections: You can set up different upload destinations at the same time and switch between them easily for each upload.

** Uploads everything
Dropshare is able to open files of any kind with its Sharing and Action Extensions. Upload directly from your favourite app like the Photo Album, or any other app that offers sharing functionality. Multiple images can be uploaded at once and will be archived in a ZIP file.

** Dropshare Sync
Synchronize your upload history including preview images across all your devices, supports both iOS and Mac OS X. Easily see all the uploads made from your Mac within Dropshare for iOS. Plus, synchronise your custom landing page across all your Macs and iOS devices.

** Dropshare Safe
Easily create access-restricted URLs for your uploads with either a lifetime and/or password.

** Import your connections from Dropshare for Mac
If you've already set up Dropshare on your Mac, just export all your connections to encrypted .dropshareconnection files and import them on your iOS device.

** Beautiful individual landing pages
Use a default template or craft an individual design on your own using HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

** Choose your URL shortener
Dropshare supports URL shorteners as well - natively supported URLs (e.g. dsh.re), or configure your very own URL shortener service like bit.ly or YOURLS.

** Filename randomization
Optionally configure whether Dropshare should add a random suffix or completely randomize the filename before uploading the file.

** 1Password integration
Use 1Password to easily log in to Dropshare Sync with your account details.

** Screenshot extension
Dropshare offers a screenshot extension for your favourite browser: Capture the whole website and upload it right away.

** Image compression
Images can be compressed within 3 different levels prior uploading to save bandwidth and space.

** Dropshare Cloud
A valid Dropshare Cloud subscription is required in order to upload files with Dropshare Cloud. Please check out the Dropshare Cloud website for more information.

Terrific file upload tool
Sam_Marcus

Super passionate and responsive developer. Updated frequently. It's the best solution if you have your own storage since all the other apps charge subscription fees for you to use their hosted cloud. Very grateful this exists!


Subscription, really?
Atlantic Greybeard

Are you kidding me? I paid $25 for the desktop app, and now I am expected to pay another $1.50 per MONTH to use the iOS version of the app? Wow. I’m sorry I went down this road.


Must have
Dracirate

The app is really practical to share screenshot with clients.

Simple yet fully-featured
Luke Lambert

This is something I’ve been wanting for a while. It works great as a companion to the Mac version or as a standalone app. I really appreciate the additional features for the security-minded (HTTPS links, file name randomization, encrypted connections import/export, etc). I would definitely recommend it for those looking for more control and customization when sharing files.


Great Droplr Alternative

I've been teetering back and forth between Droplr and Cloud app for years. Finally, Dropshare offers the same great functionality at a lower price point - plus I own my data. That's a real win-win-win.


Sharing, your way.

I'm very happy to have stumbled upon this piece of software. I love having the option of easily uploading files from my iOS device to my own server for sharing instead of sharing through a third-party service. With this app it couldn't be easier. I use this with my own server but you also have the option of using an Amazon server or a Rackspace server. I have one server using SSH keys and a second using a name/password combo. The developer has paid a lot of attention to giving us options. (Thank you!) I also bought the Mac version and the 2 programs synchronize nicely. I set up my servers on my Mac and was able to export those settings to my iOS device easily. As you can tell from my review I'm impressed.


Works well mac and iOS version
robsters79

Used this lately to make sending a large file easier and more secure. Works well and syncs nicely between macs. My only wish is that there was an easier way to sync Amazon S3 account settings across macs. It's a minor issue though.


Sent with love from AWS CN

Thank you for this great update.


This is exactly what I was looking for.
mrmaster

I almost missed the 90% off sale. It was just a coincidence that I was looking for an Amazon s3 program. At its original price I didn't want to spend that much. I use s3 to store my images for my sites. The copying of the share link is vital for me.
