# Quick Share vs Drop Files

The clearest difference is rating: Drop Files at 4.1 against Quick Share's 3.3. Drop Files also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). Quick Share's advantage is review sentiment (25% vs 11%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Quick Share sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Drop Files sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Drop Files holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 68 and 329 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of Quick Share's written reviews are positive against 11% of Drop Files's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Quick Share ships an update every 3 weeks, Drop Files every 5 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
