Four steps to safe migration

Install Maxisnap
Download the current 112 MB Windows installer. A Mac version for macOS 13 or later is also available. No account is required to start capturing.

Set your default share destination
Use Maxisnap Cloud for built-in share links. A Studio license adds configurable SFTP, FTP, S3-compatible, and HTTP upload backends.
- 05:00
Re-upload critical Capture links
Inventory important Capture links and keep local copies of their content. Replace a link only after uploading the saved file to your chosen destination and confirming the replacement works.

What Maxisnap Includes
Dropbox Capture questions
Did Dropbox Capture shut down?
Yes. Dropbox discontinued Dropbox Capture on March 24, 2025.
When did Dropbox Capture end?
What happens to my existing Capture links?
Dropbox's help center says links to captures you shared earlier redirect to a Dropbox file preview, and links to anonymous captures stop working. Keep local copies of important content and verify each replacement before updating documentation.
Does Maxisnap integrate with Dropbox?
Not through a direct Dropbox API integration. You can save to a local folder synchronized by the Dropbox desktop app; Dropbox then handles synchronization. Maxisnap Cloud provides built-in share links.
Can I upload screenshots to my Dropbox folder via Maxisnap?
Yes, indirectly: use a local Dropbox-synchronized folder as the save path. Maxisnap Studio separately supports SFTP, FTP, S3-compatible, and HTTP destinations.
