FileDrop

The files layer for Google Sheets and Drive

Visit FileDrop

FileDrop is a file management platform that adds a files layer to Google Sheets and Google Drive, addressing the manual work of collecting documents, sharing files, and moving data between spreadsheets and storage. It operates as both a web app and a Google Sheets add-on.

Its modules include Forms for collecting files and signatures through branded upload pages, Electronic Signatures for sending PDFs for signing, PDF Links for sharing documents with access controls and view tracking, Visual Tables for publishing searchable image catalogs, Automations for no-code triggers and actions across Sheets and Drive, Bulk OCR for extracting text from scans, and a Receipt Tracker with AI field extraction. Integrations cover upload sources such as Google Drive, Dropbox, Box, and OneDrive, with destinations including Google Sheets and Airtable, plus Zapier, an API, and webhooks.

FileDrop is aimed at teams handling document workflows, including agencies, accounting and bookkeeping practices, HR and people operations, and schools. It offers a free plan, and the pages indicate registration without a card.
