this is incredible. I love Loom and Dropbox. But it's great to see more product in this space.
and it makes sense to have such functionality integrated.
Thanks for the hunt, @thinker.
Hey Product Hunt! Youcef here, I'm the Head of Product for Dropbox Capture, and I'm super excited to be back here today.
For those who are not familiar with Capture, we launched it in beta last year. It helps alleviate communication hurdles that come with remote work (e.g., countless hours of video meetings, constant chat messages, and lengthy emails) and makes it easier for people across time zones to communicate asynchronously with engaging video messages.
Starting today, Capture is out of beta and available across all Dropbox plans. With Professional, Standard, Advanced, and Enterprise plans, you can record videos in 4K up to your storage limit and edit videos of any length. With Basic, Plus, and Family plans, you get up to two hours of recording time at 1080p and editing for videos under five minutes. We are also making Capture available in English, German, Spanish, French, Japanese, and Portuguese, with additional languages coming soon.
Since we first announced Capture, we have received feedback from thousands of customers and made the app even better. We've also added many new features such as video trimming, transcribing, commenting, improved screenshot markup, the ability to track who's viewed videos, and lifted the 5-minute limit we used to have on recordings. You can also attach hyperlinks to captures and organize them in collections to create a knowledge base of content, like onboarding resources or guides, that can be easily accessed and shared with teammates.
You will also notice that Capture looks and feels a bit different from other apps when using it. When talking to Dropbox customers, something that comes up consistently is how much they love how the Dropbox folder on their desktop computers works. Many call it the "magic folder" and love how "it just works". So we've tried to recreate that feeling of "it just works" by making deliberate design and user experience choices on Capture: Just the right amount of features and customization, optimized for speed, and never gets in the way.
I will be around on Product Hunt, answering any questions from the community in the comments section below. I can't wait to hear your feedback and see what you create with Capture.
Thank you!
Youcef, on behalf of the Dropbox Capture team
Looks like a solid tool, but as someone who already uses CleanShot X, I think there’s not much reason to switch to Dropbox Capture.
One potential reason could be that Capture supports comments, but I imagine people need a Dropbox account to comment, right? (If not you should highlight that on the website because it’d be a super helpful feature!)
As for transcripts, if I needed them often, I’d probably rather stick with Descript’s free recorder which also lets you remove filler words and edit your video by editing the text before you share it (it has comments too!)
I’m always happy to see more competition for apps I love to use (it can only lead to improvements for everyone). All I’m saying is that Dropbox might need to up its game to really compete.
@cameron_pak1 So great to hear hear, thank you so much for the kind words!
@taft_love2 Thank you so much for the nice comment, glad we replaced the other app :)
I've been using Capture in Beta for a few months now. What I like about it is the simplicity. It just works! I can capture images, screen records, and even annotate my videos effortlessly.
congrats for the launch team @youcefhq @nogaraviv @aaron_brennan1 @nastya_kholodova @adamlafave @haipeng_yu @michael_boht @drewhouston @timyoung888
