Floppy vs Dropbox
Dropbox is where your files live, with sync and lots of storage per dollar. Floppy is how you send one and see who read it, page by page, with every link control on the free plan and an agent that can share for you.

Can I see who viewed a Dropbox link? +
Dropbox Transfer shows view and download counts, and Standard plans add viewer history. Neither shows which pages someone read. Floppy shows each viewer's pages and time per page.
Should I replace Dropbox with Floppy? +
No. Keep Dropbox for storage and sync. Use Floppy when you send something and care whether it was read.
What happened to Dropbox's "Send and track"? +
Dropbox users report it was discontinued in March 2025, with DocSend suggested instead. See our DocSend comparison.
