For commercial and brand filmmakers
Client review for commercial filmmakers.
“Around the middle, the logo looks a little soft.” The middle of the 60 or the 15? And which second?
You send one link. Your client watches the cut, pauses where something bugs them and types. The note lands on that exact second with your client’s name on it, and you open it in Final Cut as a marker on the frame.

What your client does on the link.
Your client watches
Your client opens the link on a phone or a computer and watches the film, with the photos right beside it. No account, no app to install.
Your client points at what to change
Your client pauses and types, and the note sticks to that second of the film. On a photo or a PDF page, your client taps the exact spot, and can draw on it.
Your client approves
When it’s right, your client presses Approve and confirms once. The watermark comes off. On a job with photos and film, your client can approve each one separately.
Your client downloads the finals
The full-size files open for download on the same link, one by one or all at once. You don’t send anything new.
Notes that point at a frame.
On the second, not around it
Every note your client leaves on a film keeps its timecode. You see it on the film in the project and jump straight to it.
Into Final Cut as to-do markers
Download your client’s notes for Final Cut Pro and each one lands on its frame as a red to-do marker you tick off as you cut. Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve aren’t supported yet; for those, you download a spreadsheet or a plain timecode list.
The next cut on the same link
Upload the new cut over the last one. Your client’s link doesn’t change, and your client can still open the earlier rounds from the film.
The stills from the shoot, on the same page.
Brand jobs come with stills: hero frames, product shots, behind the scenes. They sit on the same page as the film, and your client pins a note on a photo the same way as on the cut. You read every note in one list.
Approval that opens the masters.
When the cut is right, your client presses Approve. The watermark comes off and the full-size files open for download, on the link your client has had since the first cut. On a job with photos and film, your client can approve each one separately.
Questions.
Does my client need an account?
No. Your client opens the link in any browser, on a phone or a computer, and types a name the first time they leave a note. There’s nothing to sign up for and no app to install.
Which editing apps do the notes go into?
Final Cut Pro, as to-do markers on the frames your client noted. Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve aren’t supported yet. On every plan you can also download the notes as a spreadsheet or a plain timecode list.
Can my client see the earlier cut?
Yes. When you upload a new cut over the last one, the earlier rounds stay behind it, and your client can open them from the film.
Whose name is at the top of my client’s page?
Yours. Your logo, name and colors sit at the top of your client’s page on every plan, Free included. The link itself is on dropyourfiles.com.
What does it cost?
There’s a free plan with 5 GB of room and 1 hour of video, no card needed. Solo is $20 a month with 1 TB and 15 hours of video, and Studio is $59 a month for a team. Every feature is on every plan.
