Droplr Reviews

I use Droplr since 2012, and it's interesting how little I have to think about it. It sits right in my menu bar, I move a file over the icon and wait for the "bing" to share the file. I tried other file sharing services, and nothing comes as close to the ease of use than Droplr.

Seeing how many times a file got downloaded is a big plus, since I can easily remind collaborators or students to download the file when they take too long. Thinking about it, this seems to be one of features I use constantly. ;-)))

Nothing, since it does exactly what I need.

File sharing, occasionally file storage for (a) files that I need to share in the future, or (b) to keep a quick backup of an important work-in-progress. Point is, that with the quick upload, it takes a few seconds to handle the upload, and with the self-destruct I don't need to think about it again.

The thing I like most about Droplr is the screenshot ability. It's so much easier to show developers or other designers what I'm designing with a link to a screenshot, than actually having to save the image or share my screen.

I wish there were more color options when drawing on a screenshot. The only other thing is that sometimes the link will take a long time to copy to my clipboard. Sometimes, I go to paste and the link is an old link.

Be patient with learning the tools—they come in handy! Also, the GIF capture is so fun.

It is a lot faster to share progress with designers or developers. The screen capture feature has significantly helped my work flow as well as the work flow of my team.

I really enjoy the ability to draw/edit the screenshots I take. Of course as soon as I finish editing, it uploads and converts it into a link within seconds. Very convenient.

Having the ability to turn a screencast into a gif is quite useful for sharing, since it doesn't require much bandwidth to play it.

Sometimes the screencasting can be unreliable, in-which you would record the screencast and it'll disappear without notice or uploading. Recently I haven't found this happening as much. I also find the way you start and stop the screencast to be a little cumbersome.

I find the lack of mobile apps for Droplr disappointing, particularly on Android. I would like the ability to access my drops quickly and re-grab the link to share quite a pain when on mobile.

Quite reliable and useful in many ways.

This software allows me to share and point out specific things I find without having directly link the source material and guide them to the point I'm referencing. The fact I can do this within seconds gives me unmatched convenience. Since it's so reliable I find myself using it for things I wouldn't have thought about.

It takes high quality screenshots without having to take up any space on my hard drive. It's a tremendous tool that really takes the strain off of having to worry about how much space is being taken up by needed screenshots on my computer. Since I work in video and design so often, I have to regularly clear off my hard drive. Droplr takes that problem away and lets me do better.

GIF feature. There's no way to adjust the frame rate, which creates very slow GIFs. GIFs often serve a tremendous value when trying to demonstrate issues going on with a client website or a certain video I'm editing. I don't want a problem to take 30 seconds to watch when the actual issue is less than 3 seconds. Yet that can very often happen with the GIF feature stretching out the length of the actual issue.

If you need fast screenshot sharing/file sharing, use Droplr. Once you set your custom shortcuts, then the product can be easy to use. The default settings are a bit wonky, but you can customize.

Simply put, we're solving storage space. When our design team needs to evaluate design options fast, instead of having to screen shot and upload, they use Droplr, paste the link, and can talk about the problematic element. This saves us time and space on computer, which increases efficiency because now our team doesn't have to go through and clean up space on their hard drives each month.

I like Droplr because it keeps my screenshots from clogging up my desktop. It's a must at my company for sending screenshots and saving them in the cloud. There are a lot of features that the software has that my company simply pays for and doesn't use. I like the fact that there is a tool bar experience. It's my primary interface with the app.

It feels like it takes an extra click or two to get going. Loading can be incovenient at times as well. Sometimes, I just bite the bullet and do an old fashioned screen shot. As I stated in my previous response, there are several features that my company pays for and doesn't use. We use it primarily as a tool for cloud hosted screenshots so that we don't have to clog up our desktop and hard drive. I should be able to get more familiar with the keyboard shortcuts.

It's a cool utility. It's definitely helpful, but sometimes it isn't as easy to use as I'd like it to be for addicting use.

We're a communications agency, so we pride ourselves on communicating as efficiently as possible on the behalf of our clients as well as across our agency. I've realized that having the ability to use mixed media in your communications enhances reader sentiment tremendously. Droplr helps us not waste our resources by sending cat gifs back and forth between each other.

This tool is amazing for quickly getting ideas to someone else who is not directly available in the room. From annotating screenshots to short videos, the process of creating simple media to share with someone else is simple and smooth. This is absolute must have tool for anyone who needs to convey ideas, workflows, or problems in a high speed environment. The keyboard shortcuts are a must use.

The only problems with it is the updating of the software resets short cut keys and the actual process that runs droplr idles taking up 7% of the cpu. So for cpu intensive work machines it can be a bit of a drain. BUT these prices are negligible to benefits.

Do it

We are a SAAS platform for the tourism industry. I work in the development wing and use it to ask about UI/UX experiences to other people (IE Product Team). I receive droplrs from support about questions/problems in the system. It is a great way to show a workflow problem. Lastly, ill use it as instructions for how to do something using the annotated screenshot
