Publishing Your ScreenFlow Project : Publishing to Dropbox

Publishing to Dropbox
Dropbox is similar to a virtually hosted file system and therefore has a simple set of publishing options.
If you have a Dropbox account, ScreenFlow enables you to encode and publish your projects directly to Dropbox. Select File > Publish to > Dropbox then select a Preset. Optionally, you can customize or manage your preset by clicking Customize or Manage. Set Dimensions and select Options as needed.
If you check Save Copy to Disk the Location button is enabled, enabling you to select the location for the file to be written to disk. If you do not choose a location, the file will be saved to your Movies folder. If you do not specify a file extension, the extension used will be set based on the selected export preset.
Click Sign In when finished.
After the Dropbox Authorization window (Figure 73) and the Sign In window (Figure 74) both display, enter your email and password, then click Sign In.

Note: Once you are finished working with your Dropbox account, it is recommended that you log out of the service through your Web browser.
When you have successfully signed in, the window will display a message asking you to allow ScreenFlow access to Dropbox. If you have not selected or created a folder for ScreenFlow in your Dropbox account, you will be asked to do so.

When the Publish To Dropbox window displays, select a filename (required) and set privacy level. Click Publish when finished. The URL for uploads will be returned when the upload has completed.

The Dropbox upload places all the files into a ScreenFlow folder inside the Apps folder at the root of the user’s Dropbox. This cannot be changed because it is the only way for third-party applications to upload to Dropbox directly.

Enter a filename to use for your publication.

Click Publish to export and upload your project. ScreenFlow displays a progress bar to indicate encoding progress. Click Cancel at any time to abort the encode/upload process.
