Dropbox's end-to-end encryption is desktop-only and locked to your account. The moment you need to share an encrypted file with a client, it's gone. TinyX encrypts files and lets you send them.
2012: 68 million accounts exposed. 2017: deleted files randomly reappeared. 2022: GitHub token stolen. 2025: users switched to monthly billing without consent. And E2E encryption that you can't share.
TinyX wins 7 of 9 categories.
Your browser encrypts the file. The key derives from your password. You send the file. You send the password separately. The recipient decrypts on their end. TinyX never sees the contents. That's the point.
Send a report. Get notified when your client downloads it. Country, device, time. No more "did you get my file?" emails.
Dropbox Business requires 3 users. TinyX Pro is $9/month for one person. No forced bundles.
Short trackable links for every file. Intake forms for collecting back. QR codes on every link. Webhooks to Slack when someone downloads. Things Dropbox never thought to build.
The verdict: For sync, collaboration, and long-term storage — Dropbox is genuinely good at what it does. For sending files securely to clients, tracking who received what, and sharing encrypted content with people who don't have Dropbox — TinyX.
Managed service provider? Consultancy? Want to offer secure file sharing under your own brand?
TinyX runs as a fully white-labelled platform on your domain. Encrypted file delivery, receive inboxes, intake forms, self-destructing content, analytics. Your logo. TinyX completely invisible. "Dropbox Platform" is an enterprise developer integration project. TinyX white-label is an email. sales@tinyx.co
Talk to us about white labelFor long-term storage and device sync — no. For sending files securely to clients, tracking who received what, and sharing encrypted content — TinyX is better in every relevant way.
Many TinyX users have Dropbox for storage and TinyX for sharing. Store in Dropbox. Send via TinyX. Know when it was opened.
Your browser encrypts the file with AES-256-GCM before it uploads. The key derives from your password and never leaves your browser. We receive encrypted data we cannot read. The recipient needs the password to decrypt.
For encrypted files — they can compel us to hand over ciphertext, which is meaningless without the key. We don't have the key. There's nothing useful to hand over.
Not today. TinyX is web-based. You upload what you want to share. No auto-sync. For sync, use Dropbox. For share, use TinyX.
No credit card. No trial period. No bait-and-switch. The free plan is the whole thing.
