Hi HVS, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

The audio inputs for Dropbox Capture would only be those for the microphone attached to the machine. 

 

If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.

I don't understand: if the audio inputs for Dropbox Capture are only be those for the microphone attached to the machine, what is the interest in having a Dropbox Video Capture? I don't remember a single time when I made a Video capture without recording the voice or music sound of the origin!

There are certainly other better alternatives in this case...

      Hi, I agree, Dropbox capture has limited use without recording a system sound. So hopefully Dropbox will manage to add this functionality in the future

        Thank you, but I wonder who needs to capture a video without sound?....

        Thus, until dropbox can provide a video capture with sound, of course I (and certainly most of the users) will limit the use of that "NEW DROPBOX FEATURE..." to only "screen captures"!
