The Jumpshare Blog
Ladies and gentlemen, we have updates for both Windows and Mac apps!
The new versions come with a brand new on-boarding experience for new users, a revamped lightweight screen recording tool that has additional options to cancel recording, improvements to screenshot annotation, and a slew of new features, bug fixes, performance optimisations and UI changes to help you work even faster.
Today we’re excited to bring image annotations and notes feature to your pocket. It was first introduced in the Mac and Windows apps and was so well received, we had to bring it to the iPhone app.
Now when you’re away from your computer, you can capture photos, annotate them and collaborate with your team and clients on the go! We also added a Compose Note feature so you can jot down notes in a jiffy.
After two months of development, today we’re releasing v2.0.10 of Jumpshare for Windows app which brings many improvements, new features, and bug fixes. This version is the most stable version of our app and contains a brand new updater built-in.
Previously, whenever a new version of our app was released, we automatically updated your app to the latest version. However, we noticed that a lot of users were reporting failed updates which resulted in their apps crashing. So we went back to the drawing board and built our updater from the ground up. This version contains a brand new updater that is both stable and robust.
Creative professionals use Jumpshare because it makes sharing effortless. To get feedback however, they have to switch to others apps and services like email, or messaging platforms like Slack and Skype. This means the feedback and the files are residing in two different places. To streamline all this, we are introducing Comments; now you can get feedback directly on your files.
When you open a file, you will see a new comment option in the file viewer. Clicking this option will open the comment sidebar where anyone you share a file with can leave a comment. When someone leaves a comment on your file, you will get both a desktop and an email notification ensuring you don’t miss important feedback on your work.
Jumpshare helps creative professionals work better by enabling them to preview over 200 file formats online. Videos are the most popular shared file format on our platform after images, and they’re increasingly becoming important for content marketers. Starting today, we’re introducing a Full HD option in the video player so you can share pixel perfect videos with your team and clients. When you upload a high-definition video (720p or 1080p), it will play in 480p quality by default. Just click the HD option and your video will play in full HD quality.
Jumpshare is used by thousands of professionals spread across diverse industries to quickly share files and collaborate with their teams and clients. Part of the collaboration process is to take the project from concept to completion. This means making hundreds of revisions to a file before it reaches the final result.
This is why today we’re excited to announce the launch of Version History to help everyone work even better. You can now upload a newer version of the file without breaking the share link. This is a great way to quickly update your work and ask your clients to review it without having to repeatedly share the files.
We’re excited to release the next version of Jumpshare v2.2 for Mac to the general public. This release adds support for macOS Sierra and comes with a slew of new features, including GIF Recording, Version History, and new Annotation tools.
GIF Recording
GIF is one of the fastest growing image format that is used virtually everywhere. Now you can save your screen recordings as a GIF. It’s great for creating a quick demonstration of your idea, reporting an issue, and everything else in between.
