He added that Dropbox’s roots as a content repository and content management tool allow it to bring asynchronous video directly into users’ workflow “as opposed to employees jumping between communications and collaboration applications. “Innovations such as the asynchronous video recording tool introduced by Dropbox can address the need for team collaboration while at the same time helping employees address the constraints imposed by distance and time,” said Raúl Castañón, senior analyst at 451 Research, a division of S&P Global Market Intelligence. Work management platforms Asana and Trello have also partnered with async video startups to let users send and access video messages within their apps.ĭropbox Capture provides the same benefits to its users, with the file-sharing and storage software vendor increasingly focused on facilitating collaboration between office workers. The addition of asynchronous video communications features has become a growing trend among software vendors of late: Slack recently announced the general availability of its “clips” feature, while Cisco and Zoom have all added similar functions to their productivity suites. “Customers who work across time zones have told us they need new ways to provide context for their content without adding more meetings and emails.”
“For many, remote work has meant endless hours of video meetings, constant chat messages, and long emails in place of the kind of dynamic communication that comes from being in the same room,” the company said in a blog post announcing the feature Tuesday.
