Dropshare
What Dropshare is
Dropshare uploads screenshots, screen recordings, and other files from a device to a configured storage provider, then creates links for sharing. On Mac, uploads can begin through drag and drop, a keyboard shortcut, the share menu, or Shortcuts automation. The Mac app captures and annotates screenshots and records screen video or GIFs, with optional voice, Mac audio, webcam video, and keyboard shortcuts. Dropshare lists more than 36 integrations, including cloud drives, S3-compatible object storage, image hosts, SFTP, FTP, SCP, and WebDAV. Transfers go directly to the chosen provider rather than through Dropshare infrastructure. Mac uploads to Object Storage and Protocol Services can be encrypted and opened with a decryption key. Other functions include password-protected links, customizable landing pages, AI filename suggestions, and iCloud syncing across Apple devices. The Personal License costs 39.00 USD once for up to three Macs; the iOS app requires a separate purchase except for Setapp subscribers.
