Why Droppa

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

Secure File Sharing

End-to-end encrypted transfers with optional password protection and auto-expiry. Your files stay yours.

Large File Support

Chunked uploads with resumable transfers mean even multi-gigabyte files complete reliably, every time.

Multiple Auth Methods

LDAP, SAML, OIDC, and local accounts. Integrate with your existing identity provider seamlessly.

Self-hosted or SaaS

Deploy on your own infrastructure for full data sovereignty, or use our managed cloud — same experience, your choice.
