Dropbox Alternative

A simpler Dropbox alternative for sharing files

No subscription, no storage quota, no app to install. Dropfilo is the fastest way to share a file with someone who does not use Dropbox.

Dropbox vs Dropfilo — what's the difference?

Dropbox is built for storing files long-term and syncing them across devices. That is useful — but expensive and overkill if you just need to send someone a file. Dropfilo is built for one-time file transfers. Upload, share the link, done. No monthly bill, no sync client, no storage limit to worry about.

No subscription
Dropbox starts at a paid monthly plan for anything beyond the 2 GB free tier. Dropfilo is free.
No account needed
Dropbox requires sign-up for both sender and — in many cases — recipient. Dropfilo requires neither.
No app required
Dropbox recommends installing a desktop sync client. Dropfilo works entirely in the browser.
Instant link sharing
Upload a file and copy the link. No folder permissions, no sharing settings to configure.

Frequently asked questions

How is Dropfilo different from Dropbox?

Dropbox is cloud storage — it stores your files long-term and requires a paid plan for meaningful storage. Dropfilo is a file transfer tool. You upload, share a link, and the file is automatically deleted after 24 hours. No storage, no subscription.

Is Dropfilo free unlike Dropbox?

Yes. Dropfilo is fully free. Dropbox requires a paid plan starting at several dollars per month for useful storage limits.

Do I need to install anything like the Dropbox app?

No. Dropfilo is entirely browser-based. No desktop app, no mobile app, no sync client to install.

Can I use Dropfilo to share files with someone who does not have Dropbox?

Yes. Your recipient only needs a browser. No Dropfilo account, no Dropbox account — just the link.
