Dropshare is a user-friendly file sharing app designed for macOS, iOS, and now available for Android. This app allows you to upload files directly to the storage you already own, making link sharing simple and efficient. With Dropshare, there’s no need to create an account or rely on a server—your files are managed through your own bucket, server, and domain.

You can share files from any app on your device or select files directly within Dropshare. Once you choose your file and decide where it should go, you can easily paste the link wherever you need it.

When it comes to where your files can go, Dropshare offers various options. You can set up connections to storage you control, such as Amazon S3 integration, Backblaze B2 support, and DigitalOcean Spaces. Additionally, you can use Google Cloud Storage or Microsoft Azure Blob Storage. The app also supports FTP and FTPS protocols, as well as SFTP transfers, making remote file management straightforward.

One great feature of Dropshare is client-side encryption. This means your files are encrypted on your device before they are uploaded. The encryption key is stored securely, and it never leaves your device, ensuring links remain private. You can also create access-restricted links that require a password or have an expiry date for added security.

With Dropshare, you'll benefit from easy short link generation, allowing you to create concise links for your files using services like Bitly or Short.io. You can even customize file names as you prefer, whether you want to keep the original name, add a random suffix, or completely replace it.

Dropshare also offers impressive sharing capabilities. It acts as a share-sheet target, so you can send files, images, or text directly to the app from anywhere on your device. Home-screen shortcuts allow for one-tap upload shortcuts, making uploading a breeze. Background file uploads run smoothly, and you will receive file upload notifications to let you know when a file has been successfully uploaded.

Every upload is recorded in the app, capturing important details like file metadata tracking, destination, size, and the link itself. You can search through your file upload history to copy links again, re-share previously uploaded files, or even delete them from remote storage.

If you are moving over from macOS, you'll find it easy to export a connection as a .dsconn file. Simply open it in the Android version of Dropshare, and the form will be automatically filled out for you.

It’s important to note that Dropshare does not sync your upload history or connections across devices. Everything stays local to your device, which means if you uninstall the app, that information will be lost. Also, Dropshare is not a file host, meaning it does not store files for you but serves as a client to utilize the storage you have set up already.

Permissions in Dropshare are straightforward. Access to photos and media is only needed for specific upload sources, such as screenshots or the last photo taken. If you prefer, you can decline these permissions and use the system picker instead.

Overall, Dropshare is an ideal choice for anyone needing an efficient file sharing app on macOS, iOS, or Android, allowing for secure sharing and seamless integration with storage options that you control.
