Droplr vs. TechSmith Capture

Droplr is most appropriate when taking quick screenshots and sharing them internally. It's outrageously easy to take a Droplr link, paste it in Slack, and have the screenshot unfurl.

Droplr is least suited to sharing assets between you and a client. If you're sharing a screenshot, you have to paste the link, then copy the image that's featured within the link to share the asset. You can't guarantee that a client would actually click on a deliverable link, so it takes up time and storage space.

It is a great tool for making short, informal recordings that I can share with prospects. I also have offsite support people, so sending them a quick video if I’m stuck on something or I need their help and they have misinterpreted my request is also where this is a useful tool. Then, if I need to edit the video later, switching to Camtasia is seamless and straightforward, which is a huge bonus for simplicity and speed. (Having said that, if I have a larger or more enduring piece of content to create, I will usually start in Camtasia from the outset, but I have had times I’ve needed to tweak something in a quick capture vid, so I’ve been glad for the ease of this.)

• Making screenshots and recordings couldn't be simpler. I use these features constantly and it helps me to improve the user experience prior to user testing and delivery. The users can actually see how these functions will work and can replay/review them easily.
• The process of sharing files is simple and the desktop app, as well as browser extensions, make it a real pleasure to use.
• The tagging and categorization of boards, as well as the ability to share these collections with others, is invaluable. This allows me to easily share, for example, a large number of concepts at once so I do not have to send multiple links to customers and collaborators.

• Short videos.

• The windows app is not very reliable, it has some bugs still that are being worked out.
• The screen selection for video would be better if you didn't have to share the entire screen or window. It would be nice if you could record only a selected area like with a screenshot.
• When taking a screenshot with the chrome extension it would be nice if it were more clear what area your mouse was in right after clicking. For instance, highlight the cross-hair and dim the rest of the screen. The screen would lighten only in the area you select.

• I’m used to it so can’t say I experience a huge amount of issues…
• I’d always welcome small workflow improvements that might reduce clicks and essentially make it faster to move from recording to sharing - I really value speed in my workday.
• Being able to organize recordings better and having a few more productivity shortcuts might be beneficial; I notice this on days with heavier content creation.

It solves a lot of everyday problems in our creative department and enhanced our workflow.

Have I rated it a nine? Because it is one of those tools that needs next to no set-up time, training, etc. The interface is intuitive, so even as a total noob, it was not a challenge to get the tool doing what I needed it to. Because it is so straightforward and has no learning curve, I was up and running right away. This has meant it has felt like a point, shoot, record - repeat - kinda flow, and that is precisely what I was looking for.

I've only had to reach out to Droplr support a couple of times and they've been quick to getting back to me.

There are pros and cons to each and every one of them. To be honest, I use them all for different scenarios. Snagit is a desktop app and is a bit more heavy-duty. I don't necessarily need that all the time. CloudApp is the most comparable - it is also good in its own way

I prefer Capture as it integrates well with Camtasia, which I also use often.

• I use Droplr every day and it's been a huge boost for productivity since I never need to think about how a screenshot will be shared. It's just built in and so easy.
• I really wish Droplr had an Android app.

• A core part of the sales/conversion process.
• Integrated with other well priced tools.
