Dropbox alternative

Are you looking for an alternative to Dropbox that is truly designed for secure file exchange? FileCap was developed for organizations that send confidential information and want to maintain complete control over their data. You send encrypted files, work within Outlook, and store data within the EU.

Why choose an alternative to Dropbox?

Dropbox was primarily designed as a storage and collaboration platform. For organizations that send sensitive documents, such as medical records, legal documents, or tender documents, this is not always sufficient.

Many organizations are therefore looking for Dropbox alternatives that better align with their security policies, GDPR obligations, and internal compliance requirements.

FileCap is not general cloud storage. It is a secure transfer solution that allows you to share files in a controlled and encrypted manner. No public download links. No uncontrolled cloud storage.

FileCap as a secure alternative to Dropbox

FileCap focuses entirely on secure document exchange. You can send large and confidential files directly from Outlook or Office365. Recipients receive a secure notification and are only granted access after verification.

Key features:

• End-to-end encryption during transmission

• Storage within the EU via a European cloud provider

• ISO 27001 certified processes

• Full control over access, retention periods, and verification

• Integration with Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft365

• No use of files for AI training

This makes FileCap suitable for organizations in healthcare, the legal sector, government, education, and business services.

What is the difference between Dropbox and FileCap?

The main difference is the focus.

Dropbox is designed for storage and collaboration. FileCap is developed for secure transmission of confidential information.

With FileCap, you decide:

• Who has access to a file

• How long a file remains available

• Which verification method is used?

• Whether downloading is permitted

This gives you complete control over your data. That is essential when you work with personal data or business-critical documents.

GDPR and data security as a starting point

For many organizations, privacy legislation is paramount. An alternative to Dropbox must therefore be demonstrably compliant with the GDPR.

FileCap stores data within the EU via a European cloud provider. The service is set up in accordance with ISO 27001 guidelines and supports multi-factor authentication. Access to files is logged and managed. You can set retention periods and have files deleted automatically.

This makes FileCap suitable for organizations with internal compliance requirements or external regulators.

Ease of use without additional platforms

A common concern with Dropbox alternatives is ease of use. Employees don't want additional portals or complex workflows.

FileCap works directly from Outlook. You send a file as you normally would, but with added security. The recipient does not need to create an account. This lowers the threshold and prevents errors.

Who is FileCap suitable for?

FileCap has been developed for organizations that:

• Regularly sending confidential documents;

• Not wanting to work with public cloud links;

• Want to communicate in compliance with the GDPR;

• Full control over data requirements;

• Consider integration with Microsoft work environments important.

Do you work with medical data, contracts, personal data, or financial reports? Then a specialized alternative to Dropbox is not a luxury, but a necessity.
