Terms of use
dropa.video is a small service for recording your screen and sharing it by link. These are the rules for using it.
Last updated November 12, 2026.
Who runs it
dropa.video is made and run by Zishin ("we"). The Mac app, the website and the links it produces are all part of the service.
What the service does
You record your screen, optionally with your camera and microphone. When you press Done, the recording is uploaded and you get a link. Anyone who has the link can watch the video. Links are unlisted, not private: we do not publish or index them, but we cannot stop someone you share a link with from passing it on.
On the free tier every video is deleted automatically about two days after it is uploaded. There is no way to recover a video after that. Download it from its page if you want to keep it.
Your content
You own what you record. You give us permission to store it, transmit it, and show it to people who open the link, which is what is needed to run the service. We do not sell your videos or use them to train anything.
You are responsible for what you record and share. Recording other people may require their consent where you live; that is on you to check.
What you may not do
- Upload content that is illegal where you are or where we operate.
- Upload sexual content involving minors. We report it to the authorities.
- Share intimate images of someone without their consent.
- Harass, threaten or defame people, or incite violence.
- Upload content you do not have the rights to share. See copyright takedown.
- Distribute malware, scams or spam, or use the links to deceive people.
- Probe, overload or interfere with the service, or use it from automated tools without asking us first.
Enforcement
We may remove any video and block any device or network from the service at any time, with or without notice, if we believe these terms were broken or if the law requires it. Devices that repeatedly upload infringing or abusive content are blocked permanently.
Pro
Pro costs $6 a month or $48 a year, billed in advance by Stripe until you cancel. While Pro is active, new videos last 30 days and you can keep any video indefinitely. Cancel anytime from the app's Pro panel; Pro stays on until the end of the period you paid for. When Pro ends, every video on your Macs gets at most 14 more days and is then deleted, including kept ones, so download anything you want to keep. Prices and Pro features may change; a price change applies from your next billing period and we will tell you first. Pro attaches to the Mac you bought it from.
No accounts
The free tier has no accounts. The app identifies itself with a random token stored on your Mac. If you delete the app's data or move to a new Mac, the old token is gone and so is your list of recent links. The videos still expire on schedule.
Availability
The service is provided as is, without warranties of any kind. It is new and may change, break, or be withdrawn. We do our best to keep it running, and we do not promise that any video will be available for any length of time, even within the two days.
Liability
To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages arising from the service, and our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim. For the free tier that amount is zero.
Age
You must be at least 13 years old to use dropa.video. If you are under 18, you must have a parent or guardian's permission.
Changes
We may update these terms. The date at the top tells you when. Continuing to use the service after a change means you accept it.
Contact
Use the abuse report form for problems with a video, the takedown form for copyright, and zishin.io for anything else.
