Skypost vs Google Drive
Google Drive is a storage platform. Skypost is a transfer tool. Different jobs.
The old way
Google Drive: upload → create share link → set permissions → hope they have a Google account → deal with 'request access' emails. It's built for long-term storage and collaboration — not for getting a file from A to B right now.
- ✕Upload file to Google Drive
- ✕Right-click → Share → Configure permissions
- ✕Generate a share link
- ✕Send the link via email
- ✕Recipient needs a Google account (or gets a confusing prompt)
- ✕Forgotten shared folders clutter your Drive forever
With Skypost
Skypost: drop file, get 3 words, done. No accounts on either side. Files expire automatically — no forgotten shared folders cluttering your storage.
Frequently asked questions
Should I use Google Drive or Skypost?+
Use Google Drive for long-term storage and team collaboration. Use Skypost for getting a file to someone right now — especially if they don't have a Google account.
Does the receiver need a Google account with Skypost?+
No. The receiver just enters 3 words and downloads. No Google account, no account of any kind.
Do files stay forever on Skypost?+
No. Folders expire after 7–90 days depending on your plan. This is by design — Skypost is for transfer, not storage.
Can I send files back on Skypost?+
Yes. Skypost folders are two-way. The receiver can upload files back to the same folder using the same 3-word password.
