## Description

Dropshare is a flexible file sharing tool for iPhone and iPad that lets you upload to your own server, S3‑compatible storage, or popular cloud services, then generate a shareable download link.

Key features include uploading from Photos, Files, or the Share Extension; ZIP and multi-file uploads; iCloud‑synced history across devices; custom domains and URL shorteners; configurable download pages; and automation via Shortcuts. It supports a wide range of providers—from Amazon S3 to Google Drive—as well as protocols like SCP, FTP, SFTP, and WebDAV.

## Review summary

Dropshare is praised for solid support, reliability over years, and cost-efficient self-hosted workflows, plus ease of use and customization. However, pricing transparency and ongoing subscription requirements are the major recurring downsides, with reports of bait-and-switch behavior. There are also intermittent reliability issues in specific contexts (notably iOS extension compatibility and certain transfer scenarios). Overall, a strong, well-supported tool for teams who want control over storage, but pricing clarity and occasional bugs hinder a flawless experience.

### Pros

- Excellent support with fast responses and fixes.
- Reliable performance and long track record across iOS and macOS.
- One-time purchase option with the possibility to use your own storage, offering potential cost savings.
- Saves time for team file sharing and workflows.
- User-friendly and highly customizable download pages.

### Cons

- Pricing and licensing confusion: perceived free/pro messaging and multiple reports of a bait-and-switch.
- Ongoing subscription costs for pro features and for using with your own storage, despite initial ownership claim.
- Reliability issues in certain contexts, including iOS extension compatibility problems (extension bugs) and transfer-related bugs (FTP/SSH, PDF handling).
