The problem
“Please send your logo, images and copy.”
A simple request quickly turns into scattered email attachments, chat messages and missing files.
The solution
One link for every file.
FileDrop gives each client request a clear upload page. The client needs no account, and you see exactly what arrived.
Affordable microtool, not a bloated platform
A focused upload portal for small teams.
FileDrop is built for people who need a practical PHP upload script without a cloud subscription or a complex customer portal.
Freelancers
Share a professional upload link without exposing personal cloud folders.
Small businesses
Receive project files on your own hosting for €29 once instead of another monthly software bill.
Focused feature set
Everything a client file request needs.
No overloaded portal. FileDrop solves one job securely and clearly.
Secure upload links
Cryptographically generated links, expiry dates and status controls for every request.
Drag and drop
Responsive upload page with file selection, progress and clear feedback.
Strict validation
Server-side checks for size, extension, MIME type and suspicious double extensions.
Download as ZIP
Review files individually or download the complete request as one archive.
Your branding
Customise the company name, logo, accent colour, sender and support address.
Optional SMTP
Send links and upload notifications through your mail server, or keep email disabled.
In action
Professional for you. Simple for clients.
How it works
From request to file in three steps.
Create a request
Set the message, expiry date, maximum size and permitted file types.
Share the link
Send the secure link through email or your preferred communication channel.
Receive files
Manage protected uploads, download them and delete the full request when finished.
When client files keep going missing
One upload link instead of attachments scattered across email, chat and folders.
FileDrop keeps each request in one place. The client opens the link, uploads the files and does not need an account. Everything lands directly on your PHP server.
Agencies and freelancers
Request logos, images, copy and project files from clients through one focused upload page.
Accountants and advisers
Collect documents through your own upload link without creating a client account for every request.
Small businesses
Collect files properly without introducing a complete client portal.

Frequently asked questions
Good to know.
Does my client need an account?
No. Each request has an individual secure link that opens the upload page directly.
Can consumers purchase FileDrop?
Yes. This MicroTool is available to consumers and businesses.
Are files transferred to AZ-FIVE?
No. FileDrop runs on your server and contains no telemetry or external file hosting.
Is email required?
No. SMTP is optional. You can copy and share every upload link yourself.
Are uploads publicly accessible?
No. Files are stored outside the web root under random internal names and delivered through protected PHP downloads.
Is an antivirus scanner included?
No. FileDrop validates file type, signature, size and suspicious extensions, but it does not replace antivirus software for highly sensitive environments.
Can I customise FileDrop?
Yes. Source code is included and may be modified internally for the licensed installation. Redistribution and resale are not permitted.
How is FileDrop delivered, and can I return it?
FileDrop is delivered as a digital download after confirmed payment, with no shipping fee. Consumers generally have a 14-day right of withdrawal. For digital content, it may expire after express consent, acknowledgement and the start of supply. Statutory conformity rights remain unaffected. Read the terms and withdrawal information.
