Droplr Overview

What is Droplr?

Droplr is effortless visual collaboration for everyone. While industry incumbents are mired in folder-based architecture, email attachments, FTP, or ad-hoc hacks, Droplr is changing the industry though its simple, secure platform: in one single step Droplr converts any file into a URL that can be sent via any communication platform. Droplr is focused on being deeply integrated into the tools that creative teams use. Graphic designers, UI/UX designers, developers, consultants, and others all run into walls. Some of these walls are: 1) File formats and compatibility across devices 2) Remote teams 3) Collaboration and Feedback is out of context 4) there is a lack of workflow integration 5) the file transfer process for visual assets is slow and clumsy. Droplr is a technology company based in Bend, Oregon. We founded the company in 2012 and are backed by an incredible group of investors and advisors. We spend all our time on two things: 1) Making the best tech products that we can imagine - products that are a joy to use, we strive to hear our customers to say “This is how it was meant to be” 2) Listening to our customers, we’re playing the long game and we believe that if we can help you send an important file, make a faster iteration, or just have one less headache during the day then together we’ve made the world a better place - so we invite you into a conversation with us! WHY DROPLR? It's 2016. Sending a visual asset or file from A to B shouldn't be hard. Droplr has 4 key areas of focus. Simplicity: transfer files in a single step. Security: password protect uploads, links auto-expire, end-to-end encryption. Ease of use: uploads convert to HTML5 to flow seamlessly between devices, no file-type roadblocks. Integration: native apps for Mac, Windows, and iOS integrate with the tools designers are already using for a perfect fit into the collaborative workflow.

What do you like best about Droplr?

Droplr is simple, intuitive and extremely easy to use. I like the ease of file sharing with many different options: I can share a link, text, picture or a file to download with virtually anyone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Droplr?

There isn't much I dislike about Droplr. The cost is bit expensive and cost can be reduced for academic users. Also the upload time for larger files is bit longer than I anticipate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Using Droplr allows me to better communicate my research findings and problems, because instead of describing it I can simply send a screen shot. The ease of file sharing allows me to spend more time on my ideas and less on how to share them. With Droplr, I find it easy to manage my files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Droplr?

I use Droplr since 2012, and it's interesting how little I have to think about it. It sits right in my menu bar, I move a file over the icon and wait for the "bing" to share the file. I tried other file sharing services, and nothing comes as close to the ease of use than Droplr.

Seeing how many times a file got downloaded is a big plus, since I can easily remind collaborators or students to download the file when they take too long. Thinking about it, this seems to be one of features I use constantly. ;-))) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Droplr?

Nothing, since it does exactly what I need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

File sharing, occasionally file storage for (a) files that I need to share in the future, or (b) to keep a quick backup of an important work-in-progress. Point is, that with the quick upload, it takes a few seconds to handle the upload, and with the self-destruct I don't need to think about it again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Droplr?

I really enjoy the ability to draw/edit the screenshots I take. Of course as soon as I finish editing, it uploads and converts it into a link within seconds. Very convenient.

Having the ability to turn a screencast into a gif is quite useful for sharing, since it doesn't require much bandwidth to play it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Droplr?

Sometimes the screencasting can be unreliable, in-which you would record the screencast and it'll disappear without notice or uploading. Recently I haven't found this happening as much. I also find the way you start and stop the screencast to be a little cumbersome.

I find the lack of mobile apps for Droplr disappointing, particularly on Android. I would like the ability to access my drops quickly and re-grab the link to share quite a pain when on mobile. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Droplr:

Quite reliable and useful in many ways. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

This software allows me to share and point out specific things I find without having directly link the source material and guide them to the point I'm referencing. The fact I can do this within seconds gives me unmatched convenience. Since it's so reliable I find myself using it for things I wouldn't have thought about.

What do you like best about Droplr?

It's a simple non-obtrusive tool that I use regularly to share images of my screen. It's easy to copy and share the pictures or share the link Droplr provides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Droplr?

I don't like that if I want to save a screen shot on my computer I have to follow the link, and then save as a picture. It would be nice if I could set up as a default option that screen shots are saved to a file on my computer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Droplr:

It's a really easy tool to use. If you're looking for a way to share screen shots via URL this gets the job done and it's free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I want to show coworkers what I'm seeing. Often this could be a product bug that I want to send to a developer so that they can see exactly what I'm seeing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Droplr?

The thing I like most about Droplr is the screenshot ability. It's so much easier to show developers or other designers what I'm designing with a link to a screenshot, than actually having to save the image or share my screen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Droplr?

I wish there were more color options when drawing on a screenshot. The only other thing is that sometimes the link will take a long time to copy to my clipboard. Sometimes, I go to paste and the link is an old link. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Droplr:

Be patient with learning the tools—they come in handy! Also, the GIF capture is so fun. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It is a lot faster to share progress with designers or developers. The screen capture feature has significantly helped my work flow as well as the work flow of my team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Droplr?

I'm a designer and because of that I use it a thousand times a day. I love that I can just post links and it appears in Slack, that feature alone has saved me so much time. I love that the link copies immediately and that it's not also cluttering up my desktop with files (like Cloud does). I love it a lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Droplr?

If I'm honest... I don't like the design too much. I'm a very active use and rarely have to go to the site unless I wanna clean stuff up (which isn't too often, every couple of months). I rarely interface with the site or the app, I rarely have to, I normally just take screenshots and grab my link post it and go from there, but I don't love the site. It's very navigable and useful as is the app, they're just not that pretty! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Droplr:

It's the handiest tool in my tool belt for showing images. I love how easy it is to use with the short keys. It saves more time than you could ever imagine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Sharing images with other designers to get feedback and just in that alone this has helped immensely Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Droplr?

I like it how I can send large image just by dragging my file to Droplr, get a link out of that, and send it to the client. I also love it how I can send comments & annotation just by a couple of clicks away. Pressing shortcut to screenshot, annotate, upload, and then just paste the link on email / Slack / chat. It really saved tons of my time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Droplr?

One of the thing that I don't like recently is a bug that happens when I tried to create annotation. The bug appears when I tried to press "Upload" button (on Mac), and suddenly the arrow / shape I made just went crazy and misplaced. In the case of arrow, it's pointing to the "upload" button I'm trying to click. Made me has to repeat the process again.

And.. when the upload is failed. I got to repeat my annotation again which is annoying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Droplr:

Sharing big files, annotating, video screen recording, and sharing it whether to your clients / teams has never been this easier. I guarantee it can save you TONS of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Sharing information whether it be large files, annotated image, has been a part of my working life lately.

In the case of large file, sending the attachment to client (large one) might resulted in bounced email - particulary email with limited inbox size. And that's really frustrating.

Now I can just Droplr it, paste the link in email, and send it. Without ever have to worry about it again.

And since I'm a UX designer, I annotate screens A LOT. And communicating the idea / revision to my employees was never easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Droplr?

Droplr is a great product that I use multiple times each day. I use it for personal use and business use. I originally started my subscription as a free customer, but quickly saw the benefits and became a paid user after a short amount of time. I've been a paid user for a couple of years now. Again, I really like the product and it helps benefit my team every day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Droplr?

There really is not too much that I dislike about Droplr. It is very intuitive and easy to use. One thing that could be improved is that I wish the video sharing aspect was a bit faster in terms of developing the link. Not that it really takes that long, but if I had to pick an aspect that I think Droplr could improve upon, it would be video link building speed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Droplr:

I recommend that anyone who reviews visual assets use Droplr when going through the reviewing process. Droplr helps provide added visual context that can help the reviewer express himself or herself better. I know, from my experience, that Droplr has helped me better express myself to my team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

From a business perspective, sharing my thoughts using Droplr links is very helpful. I am solving all sorts of issues by including the added visual context that Droplr can provide. Whether image or video, the benefits are numerous and have really helped my team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Droplr?

Its very easy to share screenshots with friends and colleagues rather it be an error on a site or just something I want to grab and send real quick. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Droplr?

I do with that I could set an expire time on each file type, eg links never expire, images expire in 7 days etc. That kind of control would be great. Right not the only setting for this was global which there are many cases, especially when sharing URLs I would love to keep those active for much longer.

Another thing would be a true API that plugins could use, my work includes a LOT of WordPress work. I would love to be able to use Droplr to shorten all URLs within my site or customers sites. Also sharing files from within WordPress to Droplr for file downloads would be an added bonus too! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Droplr:

I would highly recommend that people give Droplr a try, I have gotten a lot of other people to start using it when they have seen how easy it was for me to share files/images/etc from my Macbook Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Working in a remote team, it has made it easy to share just about anything with my coworkers including code, links, and screenshots of issues that I may have seen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
