I was pleasantly surprised by the new version of droplr. Drag and drop integration with major productivity apps is not only a killer feature, it's also fun to do!
Pros
Droplr allows me to take a screenshot, switch to Google Docs, and then drag and drop directly from the app's toolbar menu.
Cons
Drops in free version are automatically deleted after 30 days.

Easy sharing of files and metrics about when and how often a share was viewed.
Pros
I need to share a link with a colleague or friend then I just drag and drop onto the taskbar icon or use a handy keyboard shortcut.
Cons
Honestly, the upgrade process used to be a bit clunky in the earlier versions, however, since that has been reworked I cannot find any flaws.

The ability to quickly capture, annotate, and share what I see on the screen helps me communicate more effectively with my team and with customers.
Pros
Capturing screenshots and screen recordings is fast, reliable, and easy. Having the ability to organize these screenshots into groups and share the grouped shots with colleagues is a great way to share inspiration, ideas, and revisions.
Cons
Things like privacy controls are not well described in the interface.

Version 5.0 initially launched with a few bugs that have since been resolved entirely.
Pros
Super easy and intuitive graphical user interface; great all-in-one productivity/collaboration/communication tool; Version 5.0 is really cool too - love the new launch screen.

Overall, Droplr has become part of my normal workflow. I share pictures and files regularly and best of all, I can depend on it.
Pros
I like the most that it's cross-platform and that it practically functions as a video-sharing tool for me as well.
Cons
The ios app and laptop apps are a bit inconsistent. so far I have found no way to send a link to a file with the password included on the ios app in one step; this works automatically like this on the mac app.

It made uploading files easier than before.
Pros
Works when I need it to, and flows well with my workflow. I don't have to leave an app to open this one - it simply exists in my menubar and copies directly to my clipboard.
Cons
It seems to ever-so-slighty be getting paywalled. When I first used it, the free tier was enough, now the free tier is almost as good as gone. There's no benefit to pay for something like this when competitors offer more with a few more obstacles to overcome.

I'm extremely happy with this app, but there's ONE thing that it doesn't do that I REALLY need: copying the file into my clipboard right after taking the screenshot/recording.
Pros
Since I have it, I'm using CloudApp much less, as its interface is better and it offers a much better functionality to organise files online.
Cons
I sometimes need this functionality more often than the link sharing, so that's the only reason I haven't ditched CloudApp.

Overall I can highly suggest Droplr, but only if you do not need a fully white-labeled solution for sharing screenshots, files etc.
Pros
The plattform is very fast, reliable and has a pretty clean UI. There aren't many areas where I can see improvement (other than my cons), if you compare to other solutions out there you won't find anything better and not for the same price.
Cons
Unfortunately you have to sign up for cloudflare (free works, too) in order to use SSL for your custom domain.

Pros
Being able to drag multiple files to the icon and have them automatically zip and upload.
Cons
The annotations editor is still glitchy a lot of the time. Recording screencasts/GIFs can be clunky. An option to have video with audio removed would be handy. It would be really useful to easily create image/video "collections" on one page that could be shared with a link. Searching/categorising in the application could be improved, it's hard to find things a lot of the time.

Super happy to have the ability to use images locally by dragging them off the Droplr window!

When you click the shape annotation tools it shows you a dropdown instead of a long click to change the tool.

Helps me communicate easier with coworkers and clients on a day-to-day basis.
Pros
Love the tagging function and the Mac applet is very handy so you don't have to switch to your browser every time. Customer support has been great whenever something comes up. Seems to be in constant development. Overall a really handy service for quick screenshot, annotation, screencast sharing and simple communication!
Cons
Although good, the app needs some improvement: - Ability to customize the tools at the top of the menu bar applet - Editing items in the Mac app window instead of browser - Better screencast functionality, like editing the recording area size, position, controls, etc

Plus all the extra, new features (which they keep adding more) just give you added benefits and functionality. Awesome product!
Pros
Droplr is so easy to use that it has become a seamless tool in my daily workflow. Whether creating a simple screenshot, annotating/redacting images, or sharing files, one key-combo does it all.
Cons
Very occasionally I will have to restart the application from the top toolbar after freezing/seizing up. No big deal. I really love Droplr.

Pros
I like that it's easy to quickly capture and annotate screenshots, upload files, create notes and create record screencasts.
Cons
Some of the recent app updates are a little rough around the edges... the code snippet utility was very useful before is now not mapped to a shortcut, and the interface isn't as intuitive for that type of upload as it once was.

Where a different free brand like Loom is much smoother.

We now go from the idea (captured with a drop screen shot) from one of our creators who annotates it easily with drawing, arrows, and text, and then sends it by slack or text instantly as it is already copied on their clipboard to a design team and developers to get thoughts.
Pros
We now go from idea (captured with a drop screen shot) from one of our creators who annotates it easily with drawing, arrows and text, and then sends it by slack or text instantly as it is already copied on their clipboard to a design team and developers to get thoughts. They comment back and send their own drops with screen shots, etc to GET THE POINT ACROSS IN IMAGES AND ANNOTATIONS rather than writing it out or talking on the phone.
Cons
The tagging works well but I wish we could organize drops into custom groups as well

Thanks Joshua for the great review! We have shared tagging coming mid-January so keep your eyes open for that. You will be able to organize tags and share them amongst groups!
Pros
Very easy to use and very fast.
Cons
If you take a screenshot and save it on your finder as a file and than drag and drop that on to Jira it shows an unsupported file.

It also allows us to archive software our software files.
Pros
We like many things about it but the function which takes screenshots of webpages and stores them as a droplr link is outstanding. We use it to back up news items.
