Overall Satisfaction with Droplr

I use it myself, connecting with students, other teachers, performance and lecturing venues. The main purpose is to share files, and also keeping them available over a long period of time. Ease of use is the main advantage, I prefer to use software I do not have to think about how I use it. The simple fact that the icon sits in the menubar seems to make all the difference.
  • Simply moving files onto the menu bar icon is the fastest way to get files on their way.
  • The link to copy is automatically saved to your clipboard, so while I'm writing the email to send the file, I simply paste and I'm done.
  • Turns out, I check often if the file has been downloaded, as it allows me to followup and speed up the process if needed.
  • I can't really think of anything...
  • Compared to DropBox, which I have used before, it has saved a good amount of time, as both sharing with others or receiving files has been much faster.
  • The recently added screenshot annotation functionality turned out to be a great timesaver, as I am constantly using this to explain software to my students.
I used Dropbox before. I searched for alternatives, and switched to Droplr, after I had to receive over 160 submissions for a project from all over the world. The majority of the submissions were not click & download, but required additional logins, sometimes individual downloads of files, and other procedures that drastically increased the time working on this.
Sharing files with a wide (and diverse) range of recipients, and the need to do it fast. It does include private links, and can keep files indefinitely, so it works well for many uses. The 1TB cloud storage and 10GB file size is also sufficient for most uses (PRO Plan).
