### 5/5 — Getting there

*2025-09-15, version 3.55*

Getting there

### 5/5 — WeTransfer Replacement

*2024-12-28, version 3.47*

This app is truly amazing! Even after buying external storage, I’m saving money by not paying for WeTransfer, and I have more flexibility in how my files are being sent. Loving the customization of download pages as well!

### 1/5 — False trial advertising to get you to pay

*2024-11-04, version 3.44*

App says you can try it for 7 days but you must pay first. Once you do you there is no trial. Apple won’t refund the payment.

### 5/5 — Just WOW!

*2024-09-07, version 3.42*

I have been using this app for nearly a decade now on both ios and macos and this has always delivered! Never had any serious issues with it and the one time I had a minor, cosmetic, non-breaking occurrence, the developer himself wrote back to me within hours saying the fix would be pushed to the new version! Just WOW. Best self-hosted screenshot/quick movie maker app out there!

### 5/5 — Terrific file upload tool

*2024-03-20, version 3.37*

Timo is super passionate and responsive, and ships updates extremely frequently. Dropshare is a no brainer if you have your own storage since all the other apps charge subscription fees for you to use their hosted cloud. Been a user for over a decade now (!) with the Lifetime license and am very grateful this exists. The mac app is great, too. I use it with my own S3 buckets, extremely inexpensive.

### 5/5 — Great support

*2023-12-02, version 3.27*

The app works very nicely for its purpose, but more than that the support is amazing. I reported a difference between the iOS and macOS versions and it was fixed in 2 days. I’m confident that if I have any issues down the line, they’ll get fixed.

### 5/5 — Great App for Sharing All File Types

*2023-11-08, version 3.24*

This app saves me a ton of time sharing files with my team. I highly recommend it.

### 5/5 — Crashes a lot

*2023-11-04, version 3.23.1*

App crashes when attempting to view uploaded files (connection is FTP to GoDaddy). Also crashes when I attempt to open or share logs.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2023-06-12, version 3.19*

Very nice ! Use it almost daily!

### 4/5 — Only really an upload tool.

*2023-04-25, version 3.18.2*

Not what I was looking for - works fine with Backblaze (although shame it can’t browse the buckets once a login is provided) for uploading individual files, but I wanted something more of a sync tool/multi-file up/downloader.  This would probably work well for folks who need to upload specific files/photos in a relatively easy way, but I have other apps that can do that automatically.

Also tested with Imgur, but again, a little limited for what I would like, given the cost of the tool.
