Pixalys vs Dropbox

Pixalys vs Dropbox

Dropbox syncs and shares files. Pixalys is the page you send so a client can view the photos, with the work that follows.

  • The client opens a gallery, not a file tree.
  • Favorites, watermark and shop stay with the delivery.
  • The quote and the contract do not need another tool.
