#22If you are on a Mac you can do screen recording for free with a non-beta app that comes with the OS: QuickTime Player (assuming Dropbox will eventually charge for their product).

#23> To get started, visit dropbox.com/capture on your Windows or macOS computer to download the app. 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.
Not even the demo video shows properly in Firefox on Linux, as it’s HEVC in a Quicktime container…
I see webm on chrome: https://aem.dropbox.com/cms/content/dam/dropbox/warp/en-us/c...

#24I 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 differen…
> Try Dropbox Capture, and get your message across with screenshots, GIFs, or simple videos recorded right on your screen. So you can clearly say what you mean without scheduling anything. This is at the top of the page for me. Seems pretty clear?
I usually assume an unrequested, auto-playing, rapid-moving video at the top of a page is one of those trashy video-as-hero-image things and scroll to get it away so I can actually pay attention to what's on the page.

It’s screen recording/presentation tooling. Looks like a https://loom.com competitor.
Tella is also a competitor: https://www.tella.tv/

On windows: windows key + G. All operating systems come with one now, so I don't know who Dropbox is targeting here.

There's literally a GIF showing what it does
For some reason their video at the top doesn't show properly on Firefox on Windows. They have two versions, one .mov and one .webm. The .mov doesn't work for me while the .webm does, but that's the second video source so I guess it's not selected correctly. Maybe the .mov works fine on macs.

Re: Dropbox Capture
#28Dropbox has lost its way. This has been true for awhile. I remember when Dropbox was great; it did one thing extremely well. Now it does a bunch of things, none of them well. This may not end well.
On top of that, it's expensive for what it does.

Since, High Sierra I think? Cmd+Shift+5 has opened screen record mode.
With Dropbox automatically archiving screenshots and videos saved to desktop, this use case seems to have been covered already?

#30https://www.getcloudapp.com has been doing this for ages + supports custom domains.
Yeah, I remember using this as far back as 2009 or 2010
