"Minimum-requirement" Capture App

Technically, this app captures screenshots/videos, but it's very clearly the minimum set of plain-vanilla features that DB needed to release in order to charge an additional fee.
The list of missing features that you can find in better screenshot apps offer is a mile long, but it starts with being able to fine-tune the capture rect before finalizing the capture, or being able to adjust the granularity of pixelation/blur (or, better yet, choosing _between_ pixelation/blur)

Hey Laurent Stanevich, thanks for the feedback. Dropbox Capture is mostly free to use; to record over 120min of video, record in 4K, or edit videos over 5min, you then must be on a Pro or Teams plan (with Capture bundled in at no extra cost).
We intentionally keep the product as simple to use as possible, prioritizing ease of use and speed. This results in some trade-offs like you mentioned.
In terms of fine-tuning the Capture rect before finalizing the Capture -- one tip is to hold the Space bar while you're selecting an area, and it'll let you adjust your entire selection area. Hopefully this helps.
Are there any other features that are blocking you from transitioning to Capture from other screenshot/recording apps? We're always looking to improve the product while trying to retain its simplicity.
