Dropbox Business vs CloudApp Comparison

What I like most about Dropbox Business is the ability to have online-only files, therefore freeing much needed space my computer (and my colleagues). This is really a game-changer. Also, sync works like magic, altought our Wi-Fi connection isn’t the best. I had used iCloud Drive in the past which always failed to sync, but it never happened to me using Dropbox.

Would love to see a feature allowing me to drop a file to the Dropbox icon in the Mac menu bar and getting a shareable link immediately. Kind of what CloudApp is doing.

Working largely in collaborative environments digitally for over a decade, I've tried a lot of services. I mean a lot. When it comes to cloud storage I've gone through CloudApp, Box, SugarSync, Google Drive, OneDrive, and so many others. At the end of the day I always end back with Dropbox. Not because the other services don't offer nice features, it's just they don't stack up to Dropbox when it comes to features, compatibility, out of the box integrations, and now with Showcase, it's easier than ever to display a sizeable amount of files in a clear way.

There's some "bells and whistles" other services have that Dropbox hasn't integrated but honestly I don't miss them.

In the cloud storage game, it's hard to battle against giants like Google Drive, Dropbox, Amazon, and Box. But CloudApp is a spectacular cloud storage option that allows customization of the URL for links, privacy settings with either passwords or expiration dates, easy upload and share, almost everything you could want.

Being that it is much smaller, it often goes overlooked by other services. I would love to see more places have CloudApp integration like they do Dropbox. While CloudApp is my preference, I end up still needing Dropbox or Drive because of the integrations and accessibility offered by those services.

CloudApp is essentially a glorified screen capture/recorder combined with Dropbox. It's nice to have if you do screen captures once in a while, but it's invaluable if you're doing customer support.

There's no way to numerically set the dimension, a must when you want to capture certain area multiple times (e.g. preparing how-tos). Also, the website is a bit slow to load.

I've used CloudApp since 2012 including some of their paid plans. It's easy to install the app and it only takes up a small space in my menu bar. I love how easy it is to upload by dragging and dropping or manually selecting a file. It's also nice that they'll host your files on their servers so even years later, I can find old files and share them again.

Over the years they started to make features only for paid accounts which forced people to pay for the app. It's a minor inconvenience for us since we use it in a web development agency, and it's a crucial part of our sharing workflow, but that could potentially turn people away and make them use alternative apps like Dropbox.

This app is awesome because it is so dang easy and convenient and flexible to share stuff. It's actually a pioneer in many of those aspects.

They pivoted and changed their model without adding a lot to it. It's not worth it for me to pay for this to send funny things to my friends. And I have other options I already pay for for business uses.

Firstly, this has made sharing images so incredibly easy for me. I've been using it to share examples from my screen on Whatsapp, Messenger and in emails - the change from my old versions of either dropbox links or heading off to the desktop screen on my Mac is a thing of the past. I love the annotate option, and the fact that it's so easy to do. I'm only just getting started with the video capture options so can't comment but it does the basics I've described so well.

The fact that the information about what it can do is a little difficult to find. It's a hugely feature rich product and all the things it can do is hidden away in a tiny square.

As a tech enthusiast, CloudApp isn't the most exciting deal I've purchased, but it's actually by far one of the most useful ones. I'm impressed with how intuitive and useful this app is! It's reliable, user-friendly and has really streamlined my workflow.

I wish video uploads went by more quickly. It does seem to be a bit slower than other apps that do similar things, but this is only periodically, and overall, it's still a fantastic app that's been of great value to my business.

It's incredibly simple to use and extremely fast. It does a great job with screen recording and screenshots, but we have found it to also be an excellent way to share design proofs with our clients. Just drop any large file over the icon in the Mac toolbar and it will automatically copy a sharing link to your clipboard - even if the file hasn't finished uploading. By the time you write up an email and send it, the file is uploaded and the sharing page is active. It is MUCH faster than using Dropbox, Google Drive, or any of the other tools we've used for sharing files. The sharing page is really nice, too. It has a simple feature for our clients to leave comments or annotate the files we've shared. We love this app. It's a huge time saver.

They have some nice integrations with Trello and Slack, but those aren't tools that we use. Hopefully, they'll add other integrations at some point.
