Define what’s due, automate the follow-ups, and see what’s still outstanding. Here’s the loop, start to finish — no email chasing required.
Set the drop zones once — file types, sizes, quantities, and a due date — then reuse the template for every new project.
Invite a contractor by email. Even multi-gigabyte files upload with a resumable session straight into the project's folder in your own Google Drive.
Approve each file or request changes with a note. Re-uploads version automatically, so you're always reviewing the latest against your comments.
A four-person video production studio books a wedding shoot. The producer creates a project from her “wedding shoot” template — zones for raw footage, selects, and the color-graded master, each with its own due date. The shooter and editor upload straight into the shoot’s Drive folder; she approves or requests changes per zone, and the project status shows at a glance what’s still missing.
This scenario is illustrative, not a real client story.
Every drop zone can require its own file types, size limits, and number of files — the wrong upload gets rejected before it lands.
Each file gets a decision, not a maybe. Requesting changes sends the contractor a note they see immediately.
When a contractor re-uploads after changes are requested, DropBase keeps every version — you always review the latest, and older ones stay recoverable.
Files upload directly to Google through a resumable session, so multi-gigabyte raw footage and masters upload reliably without routing through our servers. They land in a folder inside your own Google Drive — there is no DropBase storage tier and no per-gigabyte rebilling. You already pay Google for the space you use; DropBase is the accountability layer on top.
