The Mixhaus workflow
Mixhaus organises the active work around the files: repeated mix hand offs, feedback tied to each version, approval, and final delivery.
Mixhaus vs Dropbox and Google Drive
Cloud storage holds files. Mixhaus runs the client decisions and hand offs that move active audio projects from export to final delivery.
The Dropbox and Google Drive workflow
Dropbox and Google Drive organise, sync, and share stored files. Mixhaus adds the audio specific workflow around them: timestamped review tied to versions, explicit approval or change requests, and a retained final delivery record.
Detailed comparison
How Mixhaus and Dropbox and Google Drive differ across the audio production and review lifecycle.
| Question | Mixhaus | Dropbox and Google Drive |
|---|---|---|
| Automatic export capture | Watches selected export folders and captures new versions in the background. | Cloud sync can mirror folders, but it does not turn DAW exports into a client review and approval workflow. |
| Client accounts | Clients can review selected versions without creating a Mixhaus account. | Clients can access shared files, but access is organised around storage permissions rather than review roles. |
| Version feedback | Timestamped notes and decisions stay attached to the exact version heard. | Comments and file history can exist, but timestamped audio feedback usually needs another tool. |
| Approval | Approval and requested changes are recorded as explicit project decisions. | Approval is normally inferred from messages, downloads, or a separate sign off process. |
| Final delivery | Final files can be delivered from the same project with a retained record. | Stores and transfers final files, with limited delivery history for the project. |
The workflow difference
Choose Mixhaus when
- You need timestamped audio feedback and version comparison.
- You want approval recorded against the exact mix heard.
- Final delivery should be tied to the same project history.
What Dropbox and Google Drive leaves to your team
- Storage folders do not turn new DAW exports into organised client actions.
- Downloads are disconnected from feedback tied to each version and explicit sign off.
- Review, approval, and delivery records must be assembled across separate tools.

Frequently asked questions
Does Mixhaus replace Dropbox or Google Drive?
Mixhaus replaces the patchwork used to run active client review and delivery. General storage can remain an archive or backup layer without being the client workflow.
Why use Mixhaus instead of a folder link?
A folder link stores files. Mixhaus keeps exports, versions, feedback, approval, and final delivery connected to a client project.
