Better user experience for previewing shared videos
I don't use Dropbox very often because of the following problem. I mainly use it to share videos with my friends and I would really like the video to appear in a nice simple window when they play it. Unfortunately the visitor sees a lot of unnecessary text in the window which is just a distraction. With all respect it appears the window was created by engineers who are not concerned about appearance. My visitors already know who sent them the link, and I don't like the window having intrusive sharing options and text promoting the app. I think Dropbox should offer a version that is crafted with a simple appearance so the focus is on the content. I would be happy to pay extra for this option. It could be called "Dropbox pure" or "Dropbox clarity" or "Dropbox presentation" or something. As it is, Dropbox is a last resort for me because of all the clutter. Perhaps there is a cloud storage solution out there that is esthetically pleasing for the viewer, but I have not found one.
