The new Droplr update (5.5) eliminates a feature I used a lot: optionally copy either an HTML or phbBB-formated link to an image stored at Droplr. The link can be pasted into a forum (Discourse or phbBB). Droplr has eliminated the feature, and now only offers a direct-download link.
Is there a Droplr replacement that provides those image-hosting links?
EDIT: Ooops – answered my own question. CloudApp does what I need.
I have ‘lite’ lifetime pro versions of both Droplr and CloudApp. For direct paste I also have switched to CloudApp.
A free alternative I previously used was Jing (which Techsmith hides on its site, trying instead to get you to buy SnagIt), although IIRC there was limited bandwidth, so if you posted in a bust forum the image could go missing after x number of views.
That’s actually CultOfMac getting a commission on a StackSocial deal. Numerous sites, including CultOfMac and Macworld, are essentially resellers who snag a commission on StackSocial’s offerings.
In 2016 I got a lifetime CloudApp ‘Pro Lite’ subscription on StackSocial for $24.99, and also got a lifetime Droplr lite Pro plan for around the same price there too. They’re very close in capabilities, and I use them both.
The Droplr plan (which pops up infrequently on StackSocial and sites it feeds its deals through) offers up to 2Gb file size drops, 50GB/mo bandwidth transfer, unlimited uploads, permanent drops, and custom branding.
The CloudApp subscription is a little confusing - when I bought it I thought it also offered up to 2Gb file size drops, but other documentation says 100Mb max file size. It too offers unlimited drag-and-drops, as well as 30 seconds HD screen recording, and 30 seconds Webcam video recording
