File sharing alternatives
Most file sharing platforms were built for internal sync, not client delivery.
They put their own brand on your links. Here are the alternatives — and why agencies choose Sharebrand.
Cloud storage
Dropbox alternative for client-facing agencies
Dropbox is built for internal file sync. If you are sending client links with Dropbox branding on every page, there is a better option built for client delivery.
Read comparisonBox alternative for agencies and studios
Box targets enterprise compliance teams. Its pricing model and complexity make it a poor fit for agencies that need a clean, branded client experience.
Read comparisonGoogle Drive alternative for client portals
Google Drive is powerful for internal collaboration. But sharing a google.com link with a client does nothing for your brand or professional image.
Read comparisonOneDrive alternative for client file sharing
OneDrive is tightly coupled to the Microsoft ecosystem. If your clients do not use Microsoft, the sharing experience is clunky and unbranded.
Read comparisonpCloud alternative for agency file sharing
pCloud is a personal cloud storage product. It lacks the branded client portals, custom domains, and client-facing polish that agencies need.
Read comparisonFile transfer
WeTransfer alternative for branded file delivery
WeTransfer puts its own brand on every transfer you send. For agencies delivering client work, that is a problem with a straightforward fix.
Read comparisonSmash alternative for professional file transfers
Smash handles large file transfers but offers limited branding control. Sharebrand lets you fully white-label every file page your client sees.
Read comparisonFilemail alternative for branded client delivery
Filemail is fast for large transfers. But when a client opens a link and sees Filemail's branding, the professional impression you worked hard to build is gone.

Hightail alternative for creative agencies
Hightail is built for large creative file review. Sharebrand adds branded portals, custom domains, and a clean client experience on top of fast delivery.
Read comparisonSharePoint alternative for client-facing portals
SharePoint requires IT overhead and Microsoft licensing. Sharebrand gives you a branded client portal in minutes — no configuration or IT team required.
Read comparisonFilecamp alternative for digital asset delivery
Filecamp is a DAM focused on asset libraries. Sharebrand is purpose-built for sending files to clients with your brand front and center on every link.
Read comparisonNotion alternative for client file delivery
Notion pages are great for docs and wikis. But using a Notion page to deliver files to a client is a workaround — Sharebrand is purpose-built for it.

Why Sharebrand
Why agencies switch to Sharebrand
Generic file sharing tools were built for syncing files between teammates — not impressing clients. Every link you send with Dropbox, WeTransfer, or Google Drive advertises their brand, not yours.
Sharebrand is purpose-built for client delivery. Your logo, your domain, your colors — on every file page you send. Custom domains, password protection, expiration dates, download tracking, and a reseller program for agencies that want to offer it as their own product.
