gatedpage vs. Dropbox

Dropbox downloads. gatedpage shows your team a live page.

When you share an HTML prototype via Dropbox, colleagues download it — and then have to open it manually. With gatedpage, they get a live webpage visible only to your @company.com team, auto-created when you sign in with Google.

Sound familiar?

  • You share an HTML dashboard via Dropbox and your manager gets a download dialog instead of a live page.
  • Colleagues ask 'why is it downloading?' — explaining Dropbox vs. a web link adds friction to every review.
  • Dropbox links have no @company.com gating — anyone who gets forwarded the link can open the file.
  • Setting up Dropbox, uploading, changing sharing settings, and copying the link takes several minutes for a simple share.

gatedpage solves all of this. Drop the file, get a link, share it with your team.

What gatedpage does differently

HTML renders as a real webpage

gatedpage gives every uploaded HTML file a live URL where it runs in the browser. Dropbox shared links download files — they don't host them.

Your company workspace, auto-created

Sign in with Google and gatedpage auto-creates yourcompany.gated.page. Every @company.com colleague who clicks a link auto-joins — no invitation, no IT ticket.

Private to your @company.com team

Only colleagues with a @company.com Google account can open your links. Unlike Dropbox, there's no risk of the link being forwarded outside your company.

Built for Claude and Copilot outputs

You built it in Claude. gatedpage gives it a live URL. Paste the link in Slack — your whole team can open it instantly, no Dropbox account required.

What your team shares with gatedpage

  • HTML prototypes built in Claude or Copilot
  • Interactive reports and dashboards that render in the browser
  • Campaign previews and landing page drafts
  • Design mockups for manager or stakeholder review
  • One-page briefs and AI-generated analysis outputs

Common questions

Can Dropbox serve HTML files as live webpages?

No. Dropbox shared links download files to the user's device — HTML files open as source code or prompt a download, they don't render as live web pages. gatedpage serves every uploaded HTML file as a fully rendered webpage.

Does my whole team need to set up gatedpage?

No. When a colleague clicks your gatedpage link and signs in with their @company.com Google account, they automatically join your workspace — no invitation, no IT ticket, no admin setup.

Is a gatedpage link private like a Dropbox shared link?

More so. gatedpage links are private to your @company.com workspace — only colleagues with a matching Google account can open them. Dropbox shared links are accessible to anyone who has the URL, with no domain gating.

Can I use gatedpage for team file sharing like Dropbox?

gatedpage is optimised for sharing live HTML prototypes, mockups, reports, and AI-generated outputs with your team. It's not a general-purpose cloud drive — it's the tool for sharing what you build in Claude or Copilot.

Share prototypes that open, not download.

Sign in with Google and gatedpage auto-creates your company workspace. Drop a file, get a live link — only your @company.com team can open it.
