What is Dropbox Capture FOR MAC?

Dropbox is widely used for cloud storage and file sharing, but you normally have to use a third-party solution for capturing the images, video, or audio content you want to store or share. Dropbox Capture was designed to make a Dropbox subscription a more appealing proposition by making it easier to record and share content from your desktop. It’s meant for professionals and helps to streamline capturing, annotation, and sharing. Capturing screenshots is simple enough. You can either use the dedicated hotkey or have the app automatically import macOS screenshots. The image can be annotated and the Dropbox link copied to the clipboard for easy sharing. Video recording is also straightforward. You can capture an area of the desktop or the whole screen, and the webcam view can be included as well. Simple trimming is possible after the video is uploaded. As for audio recording, it works pretty much the same, but you have no option to trim the resulting audio file, which would be useful. This is quite a collection of features, and they work well in practice. They’re all easy to access via hotkeys or the menu bar, and the controls are straightforward and simple to figure out. Everything you capture is automatically uploaded and can be accessed from the menu bar, with buttons for saving files locally or generating shareable links. The temporary annotation tool available while recording videos is quite helpful for highlighting things without having to worry about deleting everything later. Anything you draw will simply disappear in a few seconds. If you don’t have a subscription, you can still take advantage of the image and audio capture functionality without limitations, aside from your total Dropbox storage. For quickly uploading and sharing screenshots or audio recordings, it’s a very useful tool. Subscribers also get to record videos, but you need the Essentials package, which is mostly aimed at professionals. You can definitely get your money’s worth, though, since this app’s functionality is added to the rest of what Dropbox has to offer.
