So rather than giving us the option to select or supply a thumbnail frame you've chosen 8 seconds randomly which is often a wierd facial expression . And no way of changing it ? Please can your tech teeam look into this sharing professional videos with odd looking thumbnails os not very flattering. and my titles are usualy 5 seconds maximum and I aint changing that!

Plus googling change thumbnail on dropbox video comes up with instructions on how to do it on the "Share" page.  But I don't find it.

    Thats when you export to other services such as WeView - you are changing the thumbnail on that service, not Dropbox links
