Sharing long videos is easy with Dropbox

Never again worry about how to send long videos, too large videos, or any uncompressed video files. Within your Dropbox account, you can easily create a link or use Dropbox Transfer to send files up to 100 GB (or 250 GB with the Creative Tools Add-On) without taking up your storage space.

It’s the best way to share all of your long videos and large files with friends, colleagues, or clients. Your recipients can view and download the videos you send—even if they don’t have an account.

Upload and watch long videos online—without downloading

Watch long videos instantaneously with Dropbox—even if your internet connection isn’t great.

All it takes is a quick adjustment to your quality settings and you can continue watching without interruption. It’s perfect for smooth collaboration, training, and working with teams.

And when you share a link to a long video file, your recipient can stream the video online right then and there—there’s no need for downloading.

Stay in control after you send long videos, short videos, and other files

With Dropbox, you always run the show. When you transfer a file by sharing a link from your Dropbox account, recipients can view, comment on, or download the file—but they will be unable to edit the original. You can easily control access however you like.

Collaborating on a video project and want others to be able to edit your videos? Just invite them to a shared folder with the files inside. Don’t want prying eyes peeking at your stuff? Simply add a password or set a date for the link to expire—so only those with access can watch your videos.

Help on link expiration

Collaborate easily—even on long videos and other big files

Making a documentary or co-creating something big? As part of our Creative Tools Add-On, frame-accurate commenting, like time-based comments, helps to streamline creative reviews.

Avoid endless email threads, and enable others to jump to the exact frame you're referring to—or tag team members, clients, and vendors to notify them of your comments and keep projects moving.
