Fast desktop sync
The Dropbox sync client is genuinely best-in-class. If your operators move files between machines all day, that part is solid.
// COMPARISON · DROPBOX
IncidentClips vs Dropbox for incident video.
Dropbox is a great place to sync files. It wasn't built for monitoring companies — and incident video is one of the workflows where that gap shows up first. IncidentClips is the layer above your storage.

// 01 · WHY YOU'RE HERE
If Dropbox is working, keep using Dropbox.
Dropbox is a great sync layer. It is not an incident workflow.
You came here because the part that breaks isn't moving the file. It's everything around it: a place customers can request a clip, a branded link you can hand to an adjuster, an audit trail of who opened what, and per-incident metadata that ties a file back to a site and a camera.
Dropbox solves the sync. We solve the customer-facing workflow on top.
Plenty of monitoring companies keep raw footage in Dropbox and run customer-facing packages through IncidentClips. You don't have to choose. You just stop using Dropbox for the part it was never designed to do.

// 03 · CREDIT WHERE IT'S DUE
What Dropbox is actually good at.
Smart Sync for large libraries
Show every file in Finder/Explorer without downloading it locally. Great for big archives that exceed disk space.
Trusted brand recipients know
Customers, adjusters, and police won't question a Dropbox link the way they might question an unknown service.
// 04 · WHERE IT BREAKS
What it costs you to keep using Dropbox for incident video.
YOUR CUSTOMER CAN'T REQUEST A CLIP.
A shared folder isn't a request form. Customers email or call dispatch every time — the workflow falls back on your operators.
> FAILURE MODE · NO CUSTOMER PORTALOPERATORS COPY/PASTE LINKS INSTEAD OF BUILDING PACKAGES.
Each incident becomes a folder of raw clips with no narrative, no metadata, no branding. Recipients have to assemble the story themselves.
> FAILURE MODE · NO PACKAGE LAYERYOU CAN'T PROVE WHAT WAS DELIVERED.
Dropbox tells you a file was opened. Not by whom — adjusters don't sign in with their work email. No legal-grade chain of custody.
> FAILURE MODE · NO CHAIN OF CUSTODYYOUR BRAND DISAPPEARS AT THE SHARE LINK.
The recipient lands on dropbox.com. Your company is invisible at the most important moment of the transaction.
> FAILURE MODE · DROPBOX BRANDED, NOT YOURSEXPIRATION AND TIER LIMITS QUIETLY BITE.
Free recipients hit download caps, transfer limits, and password-protect tier walls. You find out when an adjuster can't open the file.

You don't have to rip out Dropbox.
IncidentClips sits alongside your existing storage. Keep your raw clips and archives in Dropbox. Send incident packages through IC. Retire the Dropbox-based workflow at your own pace, or keep both indefinitely — your operators and customers get a real workflow either way.
> NO LOCK-IN ·KEEP YOUR EXISTING STACK// 07 · QUESTIONS
Common questions about replacing Dropbox.
“Does IC integrate with Dropbox?”
A.
Your raw clips can mirror to your existing Dropbox folder structure if you want a second copy. Packages and customer-facing share links live in IC.
“Will my existing Dropbox links still work?”
A.
Yes — nothing breaks. You decide when (or whether) to retire older Dropbox shares. New incidents go through IC; old shares keep working as long as you keep the folder.
“Can we still use Smart Sync for big archives?”
A.
Absolutely. Smart Sync is great for cold storage. IC handles the active incident workflow — the part Smart Sync was never designed for.
