A lighter client portal alternativefor firms that don't need the overhead.
EuroDrop is built for small firms that want professional, secure document intake without asking clients to register, learn a portal, or manage another account. You send a secure upload link from Gmail. The client opens it in the browser, uploads their files, and the files arrive directly in your Google Drive. No portal onboarding. No IT rollout. No per-seat pricing for features you don't use.
What this replaces
A full client portal that requires clients to register before uploading anything.
Onboarding flows that add friction before the client has even sent one file.
Per-seat or per-client pricing that scales against you as the firm grows.
A portal that the team treats as optional because the setup takes too long.
Compared with the heavier option
Why traditional portals fall short for small firms
Most portals are designed for large firms with IT support and onboarding capacity.
Clients resist portals that ask for another password before they can send one file.
Pricing that scales by client count makes intake costs unpredictable.
What teams get instead
What small firms get instead
A single secure upload link that clients can open without any account setup.
Files that land directly in the firm's Google Drive without a new storage layer.
An intake workflow that fits naturally alongside existing email habits.

Questions about client portal alternatives for small firms
What is a client portal alternative for small firms?
A client portal alternative is a lighter-weight tool that handles the document intake part of a client portal — collecting files from clients securely — without requiring firms to deploy a full portal system. For small accounting firms, law firms, and advisors, the intake workflow (receiving client files) is often the only part they need. EuroDrop handles that with a single secure upload link instead of a portal that clients must register for.
How is EuroDrop different from TaxDome, Clio, or SmartVault?
TaxDome, Clio, and SmartVault are full practice management or client portal platforms designed for larger firms with IT support and onboarding capacity. They require clients to register, learn the interface, and manage another login. EuroDrop focuses only on document intake: clients receive a secure link, upload files in their browser, and files land in the firm's Google Drive. There is no client registration, no per-client seat pricing, and no portal to maintain.
Can a small firm replace its client portal entirely with EuroDrop?
If your main use of a client portal is receiving documents from clients, yes. EuroDrop replaces that intake workflow without requiring clients to register or the firm to maintain a portal. If you also use your portal to send documents back to clients for e-signature or review inside the portal, EuroDrop does not currently cover that part of the workflow.
Is EuroDrop suitable for a firm with fewer than 10 employees?
Yes. EuroDrop is priced per firm, not per user or per client, which makes it predictable for very small teams. A sole practitioner or a two-person firm pays the same flat rate as a firm of ten. There is no per-seat cost and no per-upload charge.
How does EuroDrop integrate with Google Workspace?
EuroDrop connects to the firm's Google Drive during setup. After that, every client upload lands automatically in Drive in the folder the firm selects. The Gmail extension lets the firm insert the secure upload link directly into any email they are writing. No separate app or dashboard is needed — the firm stays in the Google tools they already use.
Does EuroDrop support GDPR-compliant document collection?
EuroDrop is built to support GDPR-aligned document intake workflows. Files are encrypted in transit, uploaded directly to the firm's own Google Drive (not stored on EuroDrop's servers), and the upload links are client-specific and time-limited. Firms retain full control of their data inside their own Google Workspace.
