Dropbox is for storage. PixelPort is for delivery.
Dropbox is great for backing up your files. But sending a client a folder link that looks like a file dump from 2012? That's not delivery. That's giving up.
Your work deserves a presentation—not a download button buried in a gray interface.

Why Dropbox fails at delivery
Generic folder view
Client opens link. Sees a list of files in Dropbox's interface. No context, no curation, no "wow."
Compressed video preview
That 4K film you spent 40 hours color grading? Client sees a muddy 720p preview unless they download.
Download required for quality
Want them to see your actual work? They have to download a 15GB file. Most won't.
Zero brand presence
When they share that Dropbox link with family, everyone sees Dropbox. Not your logo.
Your work is premium. Your delivery should match.
You charge $3,000-$8,000 for a wedding film. You spend weeks on it. There's a disconnect between the quality of your work and the quality of your delivery experience. Clients feel it, even if they don't say it.
Dropbox delivery says:
"Here are your files."
PixelPort delivery says:
"Here is your film, presented beautifully, ready to share, with options to purchase more."
I was embarrassed to admit I'd been delivering $5K wedding films via Dropbox for years. Made the switch, and my first PixelPort delivery got a reply: "This is so beautiful, I've already shared it with everyone." Never got that with Dropbox.

Switching from Dropbox?
Your delivery is the last impression you make.
Make it count. Stop sending folder links and start sending galleries that make clients say "wow" and click "buy."
