04 — Dropa platform
Organize
Galleries, folios, a portfolio.
Every delivery is its own gallery. Group photos across galleries into named folios — ‘Ceremony highlights’, ‘Best of 2026’ — and hand-pick a portfolio of your strongest frames that spans every job you’ve ever shot.
- A gallery per delivery, with its own design and permissions
- Folios collect photos across galleries into editorial sets
- A curated portfolio of your best-of, across all time
- Jobs bundle multiple galleries into one client project
A gallery per delivery, folios across galleries, and one curated portfolio spanning every job.
Every size, once
Stored once, served at every size.
Upload the original and Dropa builds the whole ladder automatically — a fast 400px thumbnail for grids, a retina-sharp 1600px lightbox, a 2560px tier for presentation, and the untouched full-resolution file for downloads.
- 400px grid · 1600px lightbox · 2560px presentation · full-res original
- The right file loads on every surface, automatically
- Originals stay untouched — Dropa never re-compresses your master
One upload builds the whole ladder — 400px grid, 1600px lightbox, 2560px presentation, untouched original.
Safety net
Nothing is ever really gone.
Deleted a gallery or a frame by mistake? It waits in the Bin for thirty days, fully recoverable, before it’s purged for good. The same retention window the tools you already trust use.
- 30-day Bin for galleries and photos
- Restore a whole gallery or a single frame in one click
- Auto-purged after thirty days, never before
Thirty days in the Bin, fully recoverable — a whole gallery or a single frame, restored in one click.
Editor sync
Round-trips with Lightroom & Capture One.
Your stars, flags, and picks travel between Dropa and your editor through the plug-ins — read and written straight to XMP on disk. No accounts, no OAuth, no tokens to manage.
- Star ratings round-trip to Lightroom’s 0–5 scale
- Colour flags and pick status stay in sync both ways
- Runs entirely on disk — no login required
