Dropbox Capture - Additional Features to Increase Productivity

I have been using dropbox capture on a daily basis for the past 6+ months and have completely replaced "Snipping Tool" on windows. I love that the pictures are automatically saved in dropbox, but I believe the below features could increase productivity even further.

 

While most of the time I delete the unwanted pictures by directly opening the capture folder on my computer, I think it would be useful if a feature to select multiple screenshots or videos recorded directly from the dropbox capture website allowed me to delete them easily.

 

Also, while deleting pictures one by one on the website, it asks every time whether I want to delete or not for every picture. It would be great if it allowed an option like "Don't ask again for 30 minutes".

 

Also, if there is a way to change the thumbnail size on the dropbox capture website so we can see what's in the screenshot that would be great. Maybe add a hover feature to increase the size of the picture temporarily. 

 

In addition, the capabilities to sort files stored in Dropbox Capture by Videos and Pictures would be useful. An additional option could be the time they were stored etc. I do like that the most recent one shows up at the top of the page on the website.

 

Lastly, another feature to maybe automatically show all screenshots on the website instead of selecting "Load More" to view additional features would really save some time.

    If I may add couple more additions:

    - A zoom/magnifier option while selecting the area to screenshot would be quite helpful and save time by avoiding re-takes incase incorrect corner was selected. Same for the corner where we leave the mouse click to finalize the area would be useful. 

     

    - another option could be that on the back end, take snip that is a bit wider than requested so when we click on the edit button, we have an option to expand the area if needed. Otherwise whatever we selected should be the default screenshot.

    Youcef from the Dropbox Capture team here; thank you so much for this feedback. It is super helpful and insightful for us. I agree with you on all these points. In a couple of weeks, you will see a new interface on the Web portion of Capture that should include many of these improvements!
