Dropshare uploads screenshots, files, and clipboard content to 30+ cloud services in one drag or shortcut, for Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android.
Dropshare is a lightweight utility that sits in the macOS menu bar (with companion Windows, iOS, and Android apps) and turns any file, screenshot, or clipboard item into an instantly shared link. Instead of manually opening a cloud storage dashboard and uploading a file, users drag content onto the Dropshare icon, use a keyboard shortcut, or take a screenshot, and the app automatically uploads it and copies a shareable URL to the clipboard.
It is developed and maintained by Timo Josten, an independent software developer based in Düsseldorf, Germany, rather than by a larger company. Despite being a one-person project, Dropshare has been actively updated for over a decade and is distributed through the Mac App Store, direct download, the Setapp subscription bundle, and mobile app stores.
Dropshare's main draw is its breadth of storage integrations: it connects to more than 30 cloud providers and protocols, including Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, FTP, SFTP, SCP, and WebDAV, as well as custom self-hosted servers. This makes it useful for teams who already have their own storage infrastructure and just want a faster front-end for uploading and sharing from it.
Beyond simple uploads, it includes built-in screenshot and screen-recording capture, image editing and annotation tools, URL shortening, and customizable upload workflows that can auto-name files, apply watermarks, or trigger different destinations depending on file type. The mobile apps extend the same one-tap sharing to iOS and Android via native share sheets.
The macOS version is sold as a one-time purchase, priced at roughly $39, with discounts available for students and educators. It's also included at no extra cost for subscribers of Setapp, a macOS app subscription bundle, which is a common distribution channel for indie Mac utilities.
The iOS app instead uses a low-cost monthly subscription (around €2.99/month), reflecting Apple's App Store norms for ongoing mobile app maintenance. For businesses, Dropshare also offers custom support packages, onboarding assistance, and volume licensing for teams that need centralized deployment across multiple machines.
The macOS app is a one-time purchase (around $39), while the iOS app uses a small monthly subscription; Setapp subscribers get the Mac app included.
