    You cant in that way I'm afraid,

    The only way the subtitles would display is if the file itself already had them encoded in to it.

    Also please remember you have limits on streaming depending upon your plan and how much will show as the website is designed as a preview only not a fully featured streaming service

Is there a way that we could stream from drop box through something like VLC?
