Email vs data room

Sharing confidential docs is not an email job

If you are still attaching NDAs and board decks to email threads, you are running a data room in the wrong tool.

Old way

Attach and hope

  • Versions scatter across inboxes and shared drives
  • No idea who opened what, or when
  • Links expire and files get deleted by mistake
  • Password is an afterthought — or missing entirely

Control

You stay in control of every view

A secure data room is only as safe as its access rules. Password protection, expiring links and per-folder permissions come standard on every drop.

Password protection

Gate the whole room or single folders behind a password you rotate anytime.

Expiring links

Set a link to expire after a date, a number of days, or once it is opened.

Revoke access

Cut off a visitor the second a deal breaks or an NDA ends — no chasing versions.

Granular permissions

Restrict sensitive folders to specific people while the rest stays viewable.

Security & privacy

Built like an electronic data room, priced like a share link

Drops gives your confidential documents the controls of a virtual data room without the six-figure quote or the enterprise onboarding.

Password protection

Every secure data room can be locked with a password before it is ever shared.

Single-visitor identity

Visitors land on a page that reads as yours — your brand, your data room, your rules.

Per-file control

Gate downloads, folder access or the whole room independently of each other.

Instant revocation

Kill access in one click — even after a link is already out in the world.

Global CDN delivery

A secure data room service that loads fast in any time zone, for any investor or counsel.

Free SSL everywhere

Encrypted in transit on every URL — yourname.drops.sh or your own custom domain.

Common scenarios

One data room for every sensitive handoff

Fundraising, M&A, legal, investor updates, due diligence, client files, board packs, contracts and financials — all on the same simple drop.

Fundraising

Share a live data room with investors instead of emailing your cap table and deck.

M&A

Run a vdr data room for the deal team — everyone reads the same current documents.

Legal documents

Hand counsel a tidy electronic data room with contracts, filings and correspondence.

Investor updates

Send one link that replaces the monthly attachments — and see who actually read it.

Due diligence

Keep the DD binder organized and revocable as the scope of the review changes.

Client file sharing

Deliver deliverables, invoices and references to clients behind a professional page.

Board documents

Board packs, minutes and resolutions in one room, only for the people on the board.

Contracts & NDAs

Collect signed copies in one place while the original stays password-protected.

Financial reports

Share quarterly numbers and projections without leaking them into email threads.
