For agencies whose main need is sending branded deliverables to clients, bulkshare.cloud is purpose-built for that workflow. Custom-domain delivery, per-link passwords, and download analytics are standard on Pro at a flat $12/mo — features that on Dropbox either require the Professional tier or are not available at all.

Dropbox vs BulkShare
Dropbox is great for storing files. It is not great for handing them off to clients — every link still says dropbox.com. This page breaks down why agencies switch to bulkshare for cleaner, on-brand client deliveries without enterprise overhead.

Verified analysis
01Where we win
Your brand on every delivery
Send from files.your-agency.com instead of dropbox.com/s/abc123. Clients see your studio, not your storage provider.
02What to know
Flat pricing for small teams
$12/mo includes two team workspaces (3 seats each). No 3-user minimum, no per-seat math, no surprise upsells when you add a contractor.
03Bottom line
Password and expiry without a top-tier plan
Per-link password protection and expiry dates are core to bulkshare Pro — not gated behind the Professional / Business tiers like Dropbox.
04Audit Point
Know who downloaded, when
Per-link analytics show every open and download in real time — so you stop chasing clients with “did you get the files?” messages.

Pick BulkShare when
When BulkShare is the better pick.
1
You want client-facing links on your own domain instead of dropbox.com.
2
You need password protection and expiry on every link without paying for the Professional tier.
3
Your team is small enough that per-seat Business pricing feels heavy for the actual job to be done.
4
Your primary use case is sending finished work to clients — not storing internal files.

Common questions
No. Every Dropbox shared link uses a dropbox.com URL regardless of your subscription tier. With bulkshare Pro you connect a custom subdomain like files.your-agency.com so every client delivery carries your brand from the first click.
Depending on the share permission you choose, some Dropbox configurations prompt recipients to sign in or create a Dropbox account. Bulkshare links are accessible without any account — clients click and download.
For a 3-person team, Dropbox Business runs at least $45/mo (3 seats × $15). Bulkshare Pro is a flat $12/mo and already includes 2 team workspaces with 3 seats each. If your goal is branded client delivery rather than cloud storage, bulkshare is significantly more cost-effective.
Many teams keep Dropbox for internal file storage and sync, and use bulkshare for the external client delivery layer. That keeps internal infrastructure separate from the client-facing experience — and clients never see a dropbox.com URL again.
There is no automated migration, but most agencies switch project-by-project: new client deliveries go through bulkshare on your domain, while existing Dropbox folders remain in place until projects close. Within a couple of project cycles the transition is complete.
