GIF option in Capture not showing

The GIF function in Capture isn't showing, contrary to the Dropbox page that shows instructions for making a GIF. 

 

Here is how it looks on my end: 

 

Do I have to enable something or pay extra for the GIF function?

  • Hey TERRACE_87, thanks for posting on our Community and happy Monday!
     

    May I ask if you're on a Mac device or a Windows one?

     

    At the moment, GIF recording is available for Mac users while GIF's are limited to 30 seconds. 

     

    I hope this helps and please keep me posted!

      I am on Windows. I only installed this program to use the GIF function. Can the Dropbox page state that function is only for Mac users at this time?
