Droplr
Chose Droplr
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.
Chose Droplr
Dropbox as a screen capture function, but is much more limited compared to Droplr. The process also tends to be slower than using Droplr.
Evernote allows to take and share screen captures. It provides a nice array of tools, perhaps even better than Droplr, but it is slower and …
Chose Droplr
Lightshot Screenshot provides the same screenshot functionality as Droplr, but with no cost. Lightshot Screenshot also allows you to edit a photo and can upload your photo either to the cloud or just paste it in an email/Slack/anything else to your client. There are very little …
Chose Droplr
Before Droplr, I have used TechSmith's Jing, Monosnap, Clipular, and Quickcast. I found Droplr to be the easiest to use and the most stable. If ever I do have an issue with it, their Support Team is very responsive and it's usually resolved within a day.
Chose Droplr
I used Dropbox before. I searched for alternatives, and switched to Droplr, after I had to receive over 160 submissions for a project from all over the world. The majority of the submissions were not click & download, but required additional logins, sometimes individual …
Chose Droplr
Droplr seemed to have a better mobile component for managing and sharing Drops. I don't need many mobile screen grabs but when I do sharing them through Droplr was very easy.
Chose Droplr
Droplr has a much better storing mechanism than cloud. It's also much more reliable (in our experience) and the ability to use a custom URL for link sharing is very helpful for our business. I also prefer how the Mac app works with Droplr as it feels just a bit easier to use …
Chose Droplr
While these services are great in their own right, they are general cloud services. Droplr has the expressed focus of file sharing, especially with images and videos. This makes it far more ideal for people who want to quickly and easily collaborate and express ideas in a …
Chose Droplr
Over the years, I have used many screenshot software. The list includes Skitch, Screencast-O-Matic, and native Apple screenshot functionality. None of these have been as easy to use and as dependable as Droplr. Some of the other services require manual uploading, lack specific …
Chose Droplr
I really like how Droplr auto-uploads and copies the shortened link in a snap. CloudApp does that as well, but, Droplr seems snappier. Something Droplr is lacking is something that Snagit does very well. It lets you choose where to upload or send the file when you're done. For …
Markup Hero
Chose Markup Hero
Snagit is more powerful in some respects, but it's just overwhelming. I have Snagit too, but I only need the extra features like (unlimited colors, 50 different arrow shapes, etc.) like 1% of the time. I'd rather have simplicity and speed.

Droplr was a good tool, but they …
Chose Markup Hero
Markup Hero stands out because it is truly web based and supports PDFs (among a host of other file types). The annotation tools are significantly smoother and always editable. I don't know of any other products that provide a web experience that allows for edits at anytime. …

Likelihood to Recommend
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.

Markup Hero is great for sharing quick notes and adding callouts to images of PDFs. I use Markup Hero to share and store all my screenshots too. Markup Hero is not suited for in depth design feedback and iterations like Invision or full graphic design edits like Canva (although it's getting close!)

Pros
  • 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.

Cons
  • 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.

  • Teams is basic right now; looking forward to more permissions and team folders
  • Love the insert image, but would like to be able to make my own library of images
  • Needs rotate when uploading from my iPhone - they're sideways right now

Droplr was a good tool, but they haven't updated it in years it seems CloudApp is nice because it's a bit faster to take screenshots, but for me I like the web based annotating because I'm jumping between computers and devices a lot and want my markups everwhere.

Return on Investment
  • 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.

  • Organization - No more hunting through emails finding content I sent to someone
