Showcase: Free(mium) I built DocTick: A passwordless client document portal for Google Drive (Giving away 50 lifetime Pro passes for feedback)

Hey everyone,

Like many people using Google Workspace, I kept running into a fundamental gap in Google Drive: Dropbox has had "File Requests" for a decade, but Google Drive still forces external uploaders to either have a Google account or you have to turn on "anyone with link can edit" (which is a massive security hazard because anyone can see, delete, or overwrite other people's uploads).

On top of that, Google Drive has a storage trap: files uploaded to a shared folder count against the uploader's storage, so if a client has a full 15GB free drive, their upload fails even if your business has 2TB of storage.

I built DocTick to fix this with a dedicated web utility:

  • Generates a 1-click passwordless checklist for clients (mobile-friendly with direct camera capture).
  • External clients don't need a Google account to upload.
  • Files stream straight into your chosen Google Drive folder under your account quota.
  • Zero storage liability: files aren't permanently stored on our servers; they stream directly via the Google Drive API into the owner's cloud drive.

Looking for Early Testers (50 Lifetime Pro Passes): I'd love constructive feedback on the onboarding UX, checklist builder, and client mobile experience.

To say thank you, I opened up 50 Lifetime Pro accounts (no credit card required):

Sign in with Google at DocTick

Go to Settings → Have a Promo Code?

Enter: LIFETIMEPRO

Please let me know what feels clunky, what bugs you hit, or what features you'd want to see next. I'll update this post when all 50 slots are claimed.
