GetPixit helps to capture, share and manage files. Images captured can be edited using drawing and image manipulation tools before sharing. GetPixit helps in easy sharing of images to multiple cloud platforms and applications such as Google Drive, One Drive, Word, PowerPoint, Jira, Facebook etc. One important feature in all these integrations is that user can configure multiple accounts with any of the provider. For example, user can have 3 Google drive accounts, one for personal use, one or more for business use, and another one for school. While working on captures for business, business account can be used to upload and share annotated files. This is one of the major strengths of GetPixit unlike many other tools in the market. This document covers the different share options available in the application. Share interface can be opened either from Menu Window→Share or Click on Share Toggle button icon, , from the left hand side menu in the middle ( in the middle of the left side menu). This will let share option interface slide out from the left as shown below ( The Share Option Interface will open on the left as shown below). It can be closed by click(ing) on clicking on the icon again.


Share Integrations

...

  1. Cloud Upload: All integrations that enable uploading images to cloud drives such as Google Drive, cloud applications such as OneNote and EverNote, and cloud storage in ( the) future are part of this section. This can be minimized by clicking on the header. 
  2. Export: All integrations that export images into document formats such as office Word, Excel and PowerPoint. 
  3. Applications: All application integrations for sharing images.
  4. Social Media: All social media applications for sharing images such as Facebook and Twitter.

There is a format checkbox in the bottom of the share fly-out. Checking this box helps to share files in native PI (Pixit) file format which retains all the annotations along with the image intact. These files can be imported in another GetPixit and annotations can be manipulated as required. This is very useful for collaborative work. If this checkbox is (not - NOT NEEDED, RIGHT?) selected, all files will be shared in the native format they have been captured or imported in. 

Cloud Upload

Easy, fast and secure way of sharing images with multiple cloud platforms. GetPixit has been integrated with widely used cloud platforms like Google Drive, OneDrive, Box, Dropbox, and cloud applications, OneNote and EverNote. User account is authenticated to add account information in GetPixit. After authentication, all the folders on the cloud drive are displayed in an explorer view. Multiple accounts can be added and user accounts will be cached in GetPixit to avoid future login. User can remove their account anytime; this deletes local user profile. All the files chosen for upload will be available and selection or deselection among files is also possible.

Application integration helps to interact with applications from GetPixit directly without requiring to switch between applications to share images. A set of three integrations are included in GetPixit. These are Email, FTP and Jira. Email integration helps to send an email with image attachments. FTP integration allows to upload documents to select FTP site ( a selected FTP site). Jira integration is an important integration provided in the application.
