File size changes from original upload
hi Dropbox community
I uploaded a few movie files that are around 30 gb each. When I see them in my dropbox folder, first I need to click on the highest quality version in order to see it in i...
Hi, I had the same issue with both photos and videos and found out that when you upload using the website the sizes are going way down while in the meantime uploading using the app solve this issue for me.
Hope this will help you.
I have the same problem and it's frustrating because the quality of my drone footage goes way down. Even for relatively small files. I experimented uploading a HEVC (1.23 GB) video at 60 fps lasting 1:21 and uploaded both ways to dropbox: on the website and through file syncing on Mac.
Both resulted in a tiny 1:21 min video, H.264, with file size of (386 MB). Both at 4k 59 fps 3840X2160. The original is much better resolution and frame fluidity.
At this point dropbox is not worth my investment and all be moving my files back to iCloud. The most frustrating thing is the dishonesty in the replies above. Clearly the file sizes are being compressed and in y case being converted from HEVC to h.264.
Anyone else having these issues or are we all drinking the dropbox coolaid?
