Files uploaded with FileDrop are saved to your Google Drive and are automatically added with the name in your spreadsheet cell. Then it’s linked to the file itself for easy access.
The Folder Tools and Plus tools are FileDrop sidebars that help you do bulk operations in your Google Drive.
Copy Files and Folders:
Effortlessly copy files and folders within your drive or shared drives, making data duplication and backup a breeze.
Duplicate folder structure:
Ever wanted the same folder hierarchy but with different data? Duplicate any folder structure with a single click.
Folder Insights:
Get a comprehensive report of your folders. See who has access to your files, and if needed, modify permissions seamlessly.
Bulk Sharing Capabilities:
Share files en masse with other users. Whether you want to grant view-only access or full editing rights, do it in bulk and save time.
Google Forms asks respondents to sign in when a form includes file uploads. FileDrop Forms lets anyone send files or sign a form on a branded page, then routes responses to a Drive folder for each client.
Google Sheets and Drive can be automated with Apps Script. FileDrop gives your team a no-code way to update rows, move or organize Drive files, create folders and run backups. The Sheets add-on handles files and images inside your spreadsheet.
Google Drive gives you a generic file link. FileDrop Links gives your PDF a branded page, access controls and viewer activity, so you can share it professionally.
Google Sheets can store the rows, but a shared spreadsheet is awkward for browsing images. FileDrop Tables turns your data and submissions into a searchable catalog with filters and larger image previews.
Snap a photo of a receipt or drop in a file. AI reads the merchant, date, tax and total automatically, and approved receipts export straight into your accounting software.
The document problem looks different in every office. The fix is the same: one branded link, an automatic chase, and everything landing where it belongs.
Get brand assets out of the client’s head and into your folders — then share the work back as a link you can track.
Turn the year-end document chase into something that runs without you sending a single follow-up email.
Onboarding paperwork, signed policies and ID documents, collected before day one and without a portal login.
Permission slips, enrolment forms and parent uploads — one branded link per class instead of a folder of email attachments.
Connect FileDrop to the Google Drive folders and Sheets your team already uses, then route uploads and updates between them. Other storage and team tools connect too.

No. Anyone with your link can upload — no sign-up, no Google account, no app to install. They open the page, drop the files, and you get them. That is the whole point.
