I love Dropbox! Except everything that has nothing to do with syncing my files. That's just bloat to me.

So I gave them a chance on this, scrolled to trough the page, but for the life of me could not figure out what it is that they're selling here.

Also, as the messag was unclear, my other thought was that this might be third-party thing, since the style of the page (especially the header fonts) seem so much different from the dropbox that I know.

It’s screen recording/presentation tooling. Looks like a https://loom.com competitor.

This is at the top of the page for me. Seems pretty clear?

So, no Linux client. Dropbox is one of the few companies which had a proper linux client for syncing files. It is a pity that they are now releasing products which do not have linux support.

Where? There’s just an empty green box on firefox

Turns out, it’s HEVC video in a Quicktime container... Who thought that’s a good idea?

Think "Windows Snipping Tool", but can also do video and screen recording. You would paste the result into MS Teams, or Slack, etc.
