"Excellent productivity tool"

5/5

What do you like best about Droplr?

Droplr has and has always had an easy to use shortcut feature to upload screengrabs in a single action. Hit the shortcut key combo and the cursor immediately turns into a crosshair after you select the area it automatically uploads AND copies the URL to the clipboard.

Other companies just can't get that right and I love that Droplr has and always has it like this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Droplr?

Their web UI used to be a little clunky and hard to search. It's gotten a lot better now though. I do not like their new branding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Droplr:

Some people use Dropbox or Cloud, I like the specificity of Droplr. It's incredibly good at the thing it does. For that reason, I recommend it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Droplr solving and how is that benefiting you?

I save a lot of time and have effortless communication with this tool. I'm a designer so being able to communicate quickly before investing a ton of time into an idea is critical. Droplr facilitates that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Ease of information transfer is why I use Droplr."

3.5/5

What do you like best about Droplr?

The feature I like best about Droplr is the simple ability to transfer a file, from one computer to the next, via the cloud by dragging and dropping a file or folder on the Droplr icon. I don't have to specify a location, name, or wait for it to upload, like I was doing prior by sending emails with attachments to myself, with Droplr, that all happens in the background without my intervention. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Droplr?

I dislike not being able to download files directly from the Droplr desktop app. Instead, I am directed to the Droplr website, where I can download the files. It would save me time by being able to download files directly from the desktop app. The Window desktop app hotkey control panel would benefit from a make-over. My multiple attempts to use it have often yielded no results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Droplr:

Droplr advertises their collaboration tools most frequently, and I have used most of them to certain degrees. However, I find their best feature to be the way that it allows me to send files from one computer to another on my own terms, managing the logistics without impacting productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Droplr solving and how is that benefiting you?

My problem was file management between computers. My previous solution was using email to send myself file attachments, which I could then download from any computer. Using email was slow, hard to keep track of, and used up too much of my email providers inbox storage. Droplr helped me to resolve most of these problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The tool you didn't know you needed. Use it for a week and you won't be able to live without it."

4/5

What do you like best about Droplr?

I love how fast I can share things. That fact that I can bind Droplr to custom key binds is great - it's always available. Links are automatically copied to my clipboard as soon as I take a screen shot or record a video - just one less step I have to do myself that genuinely shaves time.

I like that I can set expiry dates on my drops. Notes is a great feature and I'm looking forward to using the new code snippets feature too.

The fact that drops are hosted via unique links eliminates the need for old school email attachments. It also removes any particular software requirements. As long as you have a browser - you're good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Droplr?

The recent update to windows (3.3.3 I think it was) was just a pain. It promised so many new features, but in turn broke a lot of the old features.

I think the product is great - but what would make it better is features we're testing more thoroughly on ALL platforms. Don't ship something that's broken. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Droplr:

If you share things often online, work in a team, work with customers online throughout the day, capture screen shots or record videos for guides and demos. This tool will genuinely save you a lot of time and turn you into an efficient sharing machine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Droplr solving and how is that benefiting you?

The biggest value for me is demonstrating things to customers. I work with a big CMS all day - often sharing a 30 second video so much easier and faster than writing a step by step email. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Screenshot sharing done easy :)"

4/5

What do you like best about Droplr?

I like how its so easy to take a screenshot, annotate and send to a colleague. The ability to save shots and keep them somewhere safe is cool too since we might need them in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Droplr?

One things I don't like about Droplr is the app view on the web. Its hard to differentiate between shots and I was confused with the interaction when selecting between multiple shots. I understand why I have to click on a drop and link to open a previous shot after using a couple times. Maybe have a side panel or differentiation between the shots view and details view. I also feel like when Droplr is used with the whole team, it might be overwhelming if a team of 5-6 start saving screenshots to one page. I would almost think that there would be an admin to manage the screenshots.. Would be nice if it was automatically categorized and organized. Please please please add a functionality where users can save the screenshot to their desktop or designated folder. It is a hassle to go to the web and download shots when I want the actual file. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Droplr:

I would strongly recommend if you want to easily take screenshots and save them. You can also take videos and share them which is awesome. I can always go back to the web to see previously saved links, photos, files, videos, and notes. Great job Droplr team and keep it up :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Droplr solving and how is that benefiting you?

The face that screenshots are safely stored on the web is a plus! When I have to go back and review some screenshots I took, I can always go back to the web and show my colleagues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A Simple Problem, Simplified"

5/5

What do you like best about Droplr?

If you upload files mainly from a Mac, though, the Droplr Mac app will be a very nice surprise. It’s got the same drag-and-drop sharing convenience that CloudApp has, but with extra features. Hover over anything you’ve uploaded to Droplr in the menu, and you’ll see a preview of it, as well as an option to copy the link, share the file on social networks or by email, make it private, or delete it. The copy link option alone has saved me tons of time. Then, you can upload files or links directly from many apps to Droplr from the menu or by pressing Alt+D, or compose and upload a note directly from the app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Droplr?

Hmmmm mmmmm mmmm mmmmm mmmm mmmm mmmmm.... I love Droplr :-) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"I use it everyday"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Droplr?

Droplr doesn't leave the top of my screen. I like to capture the whole and long page of a website just with one click. Droplr is the tool I use to quickly make and send colleagues a screen copy/screencast and send for helping them to solve their IT problems. I am using Droplr to capture an note information on the screen and also Evernote to store information for the long term. Droplr + Evernote + Dropbox are the centre of my Personal Teaching Environment (PTE).

What I like with Droplr is the ability to crate either screen copies or screen casts. Before I was using two diffrents tools to do this and now I can decide on the spot what is better according to what I want to communicate with my colleagues.

I also like the fact that when a screenshot or screencast is saved on Droplr, you immediately get a link to it, link you can paste in an email or post on the forum/Skype/GoogleHandout, directly in the middle of the conversation.

I was initially sceptical with this service but since I have decided to use it, I don't know how I was doing it before when I was not aware Drpolr existing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Droplr?

I haven't found yet something I can't do with Droplr. I wish having more tools or more options with the tools when anotating the screenshots. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"I bought a copy for my whole development team."

5/5

What do you like best about Droplr?

The annotation support combined with the fast uploading for a qualified shareable URL is extremely good. I probably take 20-30 screenshots a day for sending to remote workers.

The tools on the annotation are exactly what I need as well, simple and straight forward tools, I don't need or wants stars, emojis, etc.

The mac application runs in the system bar instead of cluttering up my dock. This is a huge plus for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Droplr?

I'm not a huge fan of the web portal - I simply don't use it that much, and the organization of the screenshots on a heavy user like myself wasn't great. However, I don't care about the web portal - as I'm not using that in any way.

I wish the screenshots were locally saved as well so that I didn't have to go to the website to get a screenshot file for this very survey. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Droplr:

If you use Skype, Basecamp and work with a distributed team and client you'll use it constantly after the first day and it will be indispensable when you need to go back and have a chat with a client regarding an issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Droplr solving and how is that benefiting you?

The ability to take an annotated screenshot and send it to a remote worker, client, or contact is ridiculously useful. Having an arrow point at exactly what button, text field, or comment saves hours of time.

I make every bug report, issue, and QA resolution submitted include a screenshot.

We're much more productive and I softly push my clients into picking up a copy as well. It adds so much clarity to the process of "I'm seeing something wrong" that the time savings is worth it to me to purchase a copy for them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Droplr is an essential tool in our Digital Agency workflow"

5/5

What do you like best about Droplr?

Sending files should not really be a task, it should never be in the way of the actual work you're doing. Using droplr uploading files is just a keystroke away. With the feature to get a link even while its still uploading you just send the link and no time gets lost.

Amazing as well is the fact that you never have to worry about filesizes, we upload documents, images an videos aswell. The instant preview of certain types like images and videos also increased the rate of people consuming the contents since it's faster and easier to consume.

For bug tracking, the screengrabbing and annotation features have proven to be absolutely amazing, we couldn't live without them anymore. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Droplr?

A year ago the video/gif feature was very buggy but they fixed everything really nicely. Apart from that a simple restart of the app always fixed issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Droplr solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a digital agency we have to quickly explain situations and deliver files hundreds of times each month. Droplr lets us cut time wasted in tedious upload forms and focus on the creative process instead.

Another benefit is that since shared files are not changed anymore, they nicely represent a certain snapshot of the file of a given moment. That means that even if you changed something on the source file, the link always retrieves the file of the moment you uploaded it. While this sounds naturally and super-basic, it's really something that enhances your workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Review of Droplr"

5/5

What do you like best about Droplr?

Screenshots and screencasts are super easy to use. I like being able to have a custom domain for my drops. It is very useful for me to be able to send a short URL to users and also have the statistics of if someone has viewed a Drop. The pricing options are very fair for the service and I have yet to find a better screenshot and/or sharing service out there that I could use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Droplr?

Web interface is a little confusing and harder to use than the regular app. Because I work for myself I don't have a lot of need for some of the other more premium features offered (business size) so I don't dislike this per se, but I don't really need all of those features.

The GIF creation is a little flaky sometimes, especially if it is a little longer than what you might expect. Also, when doing the screencasting as a video, there aren't many controls for audio so it makes it harder to tell. If there was a way to make a video but not include audio, that would be very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Droplr:

There aren't many better services that I can find out there for sharing screenshots, other than something like Dropbox (which I do use but is a bit clunky and overkill for a quick one-off). I would recommend for sure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Droplr solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am a developer so I send screenshots for technical issues and/or explanations if a client needs help. The easy URL shortening and stats for who has viewed Drops is very useful.

I would highly recommend this to anyone who needs to use a service like Droplr - it's great for small businesses and individual developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Droplr is perfect for what I do"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Droplr?

The ease of sharing. I can share a link, text, picture or a file to download with virtually anyone and it takes them to a nicely designed minimal webpage. It's perfect for lots of things. Uploading is fast too, which is a plus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Droplr?

As a designer, I just don't like Droplr's logo. But that's basically the only thing I don't like. I loved the old drop icon for the logo, not the weird "D." Just picky for me I guess. The service though is top-notch for me. The website is well designed as well as the app. I love the fact that I can use keyboard shortcuts or just drag and drop links and images into the menubar on the Mac. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Droplr:

If you're a designer working with clients, Droplr is a must-have for sharing larger files like Illustrator and Indesign documents. The nice download page is easy for even the most un-techy person to navigate and I've never had anyone tell me something didn't work when I sent them a Droplr link. It's just so much easier than running your own server, and the price is great for the benefit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Droplr solving and how is that benefiting you?

Downloadable files on individual web pages that I can share easily has changed the game for me. Having no limit on file size is a huge plus, because I can share large files with links via email. Personal branding on my pages is a plus as well. I love sharing short links with people instead of large ones, especially in an email. It keeps things clean and not so messy looking with huge long links. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
