Skypost vs Dropbox
Dropbox syncs files across your devices. Skypost sends files to other people. Different tools for different jobs.
The old way
Dropbox is built for syncing files across your own devices. Sharing with others is a bolt-on feature with permissions, accounts, and folder management. If you just need to get a file to someone, Dropbox makes you jump through hoops.
- ✕Install the Dropbox desktop app
- ✕Upload your file to a synced folder
- ✕Wait for it to sync
- ✕Create a share link with permissions
- ✕Send the link — recipient may need a Dropbox account
- ✕Manage shared folders and clean up later
With Skypost
Skypost is built for one thing: getting a file from you to someone else as fast as possible. No app to install, no sync client, no desktop software. Drop, 3 words, done.
