A Really Amazing Too

Rating: 8 out of 10

April 5, 2022

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Droplr to take screenshots, and share files with our teammates. The tool is really amazing, it just uploads the file to the cloud and copies the link automatically to share with the teammate, it is really amazing. Also, it allows managing all the files through the browser. The annotations are really good to use.

Pros

Taking and sharing screenshots
Sharing big files with teammates
Creating short links to files
Dragging and dropping files to cloud storage

Cons

Screenshots are auto opened in the browser, which can be annoying at a time
Sometimes the shortcuts won't work as expected
Scrolling screenshots is not possible with Droplr

Likelihood to Recommend

As previously mentioned, Droplr is a really amazing tool to take and share screenshots with your team and annotate them. It works pretty well when it comes to cloud sharing bigger files and nullifies the need for uploading them through messages. It's a really amazing tool. The screenshot links are auto copied and can be pasted as required.

Dropping in with a Droplr Review

Rating: 9 out of 10

Incentivized

October 21, 2019

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Droplr is used primarily to quickly screenshot, record, as well as annotate my screen and share it with people. It's much easier than having to take a screenshot, open up a photo editing app, and then upload it to somewhere like Dropbox, then find the link and copy it. Droplr takes a few steps and makes it all seamless.

Pros

Clean UI
Simple to use

Cons

Startup bug (Mac) - Even though I select Droplr not to start up with the computer, it still does. It's been months and they still haven't fixed this. It's very frustrating.
The Windows version doesn't allow me to select an area of my screen to record - one has to record the entire screen.
Though it may look like it in their settings, setting up SSL isn't as easy as clicking the button. I still don't quite understand how to do it.

Likelihood to Recommend

If you share videos and screenshots of your screen, or if you are creating step by step documentation, Droplr may be right for you. It's quick and easy to use, and all web-based. However, if you need a screen recording app that may need heavy-duty editing, Droplr may not be the right fit for you.

Droplr: an image is worth a thousand words...

Rating: 10 out of 10

Incentivized

February 14, 2019

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Droplr is a little nice app for screen capture that we use daily in our office. Since we tend to provide art for a lot of different projects (web design, printed media, game design and so on), one of the main difficulties was to discuss ongoing creations with the clients (most of them without any training in visual arts). Droplr provided us with a quick and easy way to share what we are doing, to ask for new info, to propose changes, and to share to the development teams what we really are envisioning.

Pros

It's a quick and easy way to capture a web page. Even easier than desktop apps like Snagit.
It provides tools for commenting on the image, making it easy to share your opinions about visual elements.
It automatically uploads the file and provides a shareable link. There is no need to save the image to hard disk and then insert in a mail message.
Despite not being its main feature, Droplr also allows to write and save text, be it code snippets or in Markdown format.

Cons

In general, the tools could support a bit more customization.
Droplr lacks a crop tool. The only way to adjust the limits of a captured image is making another capture of the page.
The pixelization tool (useful for blurring details in images), should support different modes of use. Depending on the size of the information below, it does not provide enough blur.

Likelihood to Recommend

Droplr is very useful in any kind of visual work, particularly if there are more people involved and they need to follow the creation process. It allows the team to be on the same page. It is also very useful when dealing with clients without design training since we can show visually what we intend to do. Teachers, instructors, and even technical support people can make good use of Droplr since it makes easier to share screencasts, to capture screens for tutorials and to solve clients' doubts.

Droplr is fine (and that's it)

Rating: 6 out of 10

February 11, 2019

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Droplr was used to quickly store and share screenshots of critical data in Slack. Beforehand, we had to just use the standard screenshot software on our computers, which would just take up more space. Droplr allowed for easy cloud storage for an affordable price without taking up any of our valuable bandwidth.

Pros

Creates links for screenshots instantly.
Set up is incredibly easy.
Allows you to create custom shortcuts so you can take screenshots that are easiest for your workflow.

Cons

Cost. There are other tools that provide the exact same functionality for free. It makes it hard to compete with.
GIF making. I could never crack the ability to make a GIF successfully.
GIF customization. Frame rate was absolutely terrible, which would make GIFs that I did make very stuttery. The fact I couldn't customize it makes it a big problem.

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.

Droplr is my jam

February 8, 2019

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I work in the Support Department of a software company with clients all over the world. I use Droplr as a visual tool to give instructions or show them how to find what they're looking for in the CMS. This is especially useful for our international clients where there is a language barrier between us.

Pros

Takes screenshots and videos that look good on all screen sizes
Easy to use
Ability to download my Drops
Diverse markup tools with a reasonable range of editing options

Cons

I'd love to see the ability to add markup to videos or gifs

Likelihood to Recommend

Droplr works very well when it's necessary to provide a video walkthrough or add markup to point specific things out in a screenshot. My only issue with it is when I click to take or record a drop and go to select an area, if I mouse over any link, its tooltip will come up and I have to start over, moving my browser window out of the way and pausing for a second before I move it.

Droplr is an extremely fast filesharing software

Rating: 10 out of 10

Incentivized

February 7, 2019

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use it myself, connecting with students, other teachers, performance and lecturing venues. The main purpose is to share files, and also keeping them available over a long period of time. Ease of use is the main advantage, I prefer to use software I do not have to think about how I use it. The simple fact that the icon sits in the menubar seems to make all the difference.

Pros

Simply moving files onto the menu bar icon is the fastest way to get files on their way.
The link to copy is automatically saved to your clipboard, so while I'm writing the email to send the file, I simply paste and I'm done.
Turns out, I check often if the file has been downloaded, as it allows me to followup and speed up the process if needed.

Cons

I can't really think of anything...

Likelihood to Recommend

Sharing files with a wide (and diverse) range of recipients, and the need to do it fast. It does include private links, and can keep files indefinitely, so it works well for many uses. The 1TB cloud storage and 10GB file size is also sufficient for most uses (PRO Plan).

Consider Droplr for UI Collaboration

Rating: 8 out of 10

Incentivized

February 7, 2019

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Droplr is being used by individuals within our organization. We do not have an enterprise solution available for employees so most folks just select a free version given their preference.

Pros

Quick screen grab with annotation - makes communicating and collaborating on UIs very easy
Quick gif or video capture of screen - makes communicating a UX flow simple - you can also add an audio narration

Cons

Management of all your Drops can get a little tedious - I'm not always sure which ones I've sent out already when cleaning them up
Sometimes saving a Drop can fail
Not a big list of integrations

Likelihood to Recommend

Droplr is great for collaborating and communicating changes in UI development.

Design Concept Sharing with Droplr

Rating: 9 out of 10

Incentivized

February 6, 2019

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Droplr for sharing screenshots of visual design concepts as well as website screenshots to note where issues need to be fixed.

Pros

The desktop app is fantastic and allows quick and easy screenshots and screen recordings without having to think about it.
Using a custom domain name with Droplr allows for easily shareable and branded URLs.
The annotation tools in Droplr are obvious, quick and a breeze to use.

Cons

There is way too much "stuff" on a single shared screenshot. I really wish this could all be eliminated to let viewers focus on the item being shared.
We have yet to have a client or collaborator use the "markup" tools offered by Droplr. I wish these could be turned off.

Likelihood to Recommend

Droplr is great for quickly highlighting styling issues with website design and adding comments to them.

We also use Droplr extensively for design direction feedback and rough screenshots of Adobe XD files.

We also use Droplr for sharing ideas or concepts with clients and the "viewed count" is especially useful to know when they have seen the shared link.
