We’re back with another edition of ‘How I use Dropbox’ and this time, we have a relative Dropbox newbie and education expert- Raven. She’s going to talk us through how she uses Capture to keep her screenshots organized, and to record tutorials in no time. I’m definitely looking forward to learning about screenshot management. No one needs to know how messy my desktop is… anyway, over to you Raven!
As a new Dropboxer, I spend at least as much time learning as I do working. That means reading a million +1 Paper docs, meeting new friends, and dreaming big when it comes to growing customer education. So, how do I keep up with all of these dreams, docs, and friends? It’s easy with Dropbox Capture.
As a very visual person, I take A LOT of screen shots. As I am reading something, instead of highlighting portions I want to remember, I take a screenshot of it. Later on, when I dig through my messy desktop - I will organize these images in my notes for reference. What I love about Capture is that all of my screenshots are automatically saved into their own folder in my Dropbox account, so I never need to hunt for what I am looking for. Additionally, I can choose to either copy image or copy link for easy sharing.
I also love the screen recording and GIF tools. It is so easy for me to practice a tutorial by doing a quick screen recording of a task and using it to review for clarity. When I am collaborating with others, we can cut our meetings in half by sending screen recordings to one another ahead of time showcasing an idea or a problem to be solved. That means that by the time we meet, we are all aware of what the issue is, and may even have some ideas ready to go. It is also a great way for me to request quick feedback on trainings in development.
Overall, Dropbox Capture has helped me to tame some of the screenshot chaos, and to save time on a regular basis - which leaves me some extra time to chat to my lovely coworkers!
I am definitely mentally saving that screenshot tip! The screen record feature has definitely made my days more efficient - have you tried Dropbox Capture yet?
