Share a proposal on drophost
- Word drafts on free
- PDF finals as a clean URL
- Password option available
How to do it
1. Share the draft
Upload a Word proposal while you iterate. Word is on the free plan.
2. Put the final on a durable URL
Replace it with a PDF when pricing is locked. Free covers up to 0.5 MB; larger files need Starter or Pro.
3. Keep the CRM note stable
Paste one drophost URL in the deal record and update the file instead of the link.
Draft free, finalize paid
Share Word drafts on Free while scope and pricing move. Put the signed PDF on Starter or Pro and replace on the same project so the CRM field never changes. Optional passwords keep unfinished pricing off wide forwards until you are ready.
Look professional
Remove drophost branding and add a custom domain on Starter (€5/mo) or Pro (€12/mo or €120/yr) when the link needs to look finished for a client. Recipients still use a normal browser tab with no signup. Links stay until you delete the project.
One URL through negotiation
Paste the proposal once into HubSpot, Salesforce, or email. When line items change, replace bytes instead of sending proposal_final_v4.pdf again. Late stakeholders open the current numbers from the original bookmark without hunting the thread.
