How to switch from Send & Track
- List the files you were sharing with Send & Track. Your old links no longer work, so you will need new ones.
- Download the originals from Dropbox if you do not have them elsewhere.
- Create a SharePDF account and upload each PDF (DOCX and PPTX also work and are converted to PDF).
- Copy the new link for each file and replace the old link wherever you posted it.
- On a paid plan, add a password, expiry or email gate if you used those before.
- Check the dashboard after a few hours to confirm views are coming in.

SharePDF makes sense when you need the open, not the folder.
You relied on Dropbox to see if a document was opened.
You want a free way to share a PDF link and see a view count.
You need a clean viewer link, not a shared storage folder.
You do not want a heavier sales tool just to see opens.
Choose SharePDF for
A free, trackable PDF link. Sending a proposal, deck, report, or brochure and seeing when it is opened, without a Dropbox plan or a heavier sales tool.
Keep Dropbox for
Cloud storage and backup across every file type. Dropbox is still great storage; it just no longer tracks document opens.
