DMCA Policy / Copyright Takedown
Last updated March 31, 2026
Dropway is a person-to-person file transfer service. We do not review the contents of transfers as they are uploaded. If you believe material stored through this service infringes your copyright, you may send a takedown notice to our designated agent.
Designated agent
Email: dmca@dropway.app
This mailbox is monitored for copyright complaints. Please use the subject line DMCA Takedown.
What to include
To act on a notice under 17 U.S.C. § 512, send a written communication that includes:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed.
- Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing, including the Dropway transfer URL (for example, https://dropway-web.pages.dev/d/…) and any file names you know.
- Your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
What we do
When a complete notice is received, we will remove or disable access to the identified transfer as quickly as practicable and retain a record of the complaint. Because transfers already expire automatically, some files may already be gone by the time we review the notice.
Counter-notification
If your transfer was removed and you believe it was a mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notification to dmca@dropway.app including your signature, identification of the removed material, a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief it was removed by mistake, and your name, address, and telephone number, plus consent to jurisdiction in a U.S. federal district court.
Repeat infringers
We may block networks or refuse future transfers from users who repeatedly infringe copyright. Dropway is not a hosting platform or a file locker for persistent public distribution.
