It’s a question we often get asked.
Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive are great for everyday storage and working together on a shared document or spreadsheet, especially in the large corporate environment. They’re built into the ecosystems many of us already use – Gmail, Outlook, and Office 365. But when it comes to sharing very large files, creative assets, client deliverables or complex models or drawings quickly and securely, they’re not always the best fit.
Storage tools, not transfer tools
Google Drive and OneDrive are designed primarily for storage and internal collaboration – not for fast, external file delivery. That’s why so many users find themselves waiting for uploads, dealing with sync errors, or battling permission settings just to share a large file with a client.
Zappaty, on the other hand, was purpose-built for smooth, unbroken file transfer. Whether you’re sending a 5GB video edit or a full project folder, it just works – no endless syncing, no downloads failing halfway.
No logins. No friction.
When you share files via Drive or OneDrive, your recipient often needs an account, permissions, or sign-in credentials to access them. That slows things down and makes client handovers feel clunky.
With Zappaty, there’s no friction. With both sender and receiver having the app installed for our extra levels of encryption, you simply upload a large folder, and your client downloads the files – securely and directly, and they don’t even need to have an account (or you could add them to your account at no extra cost). And if the link expires, they can request a new one without needing to re-upload anything.
Built for collaboration, not confusion
Google Drive and OneDrive both charge per seat (according to your license tier), which means costs could grow as your team does. Zappaty takes a simpler approach:
– One monthly price, no per-seat charges.
– Unlimited users under a single account, with full access controls
– Huge file capacity and fast transfer speeds.
– Links to download renewable on request, so no re-uploads required.
– No adverts, no distractions – just clean, professional delivery.
When speed, simplicity and professionalism matter
For companies handling large and complex projects, production teams, and growing businesses, Zappaty gives you the speed of a transfer tool with the reliability of a secure storage system. It’s built for how real teams share work – without permissions pain, login barriers, or per-seat costs.
