Streamlining my workflow with Dropbox and DaVinci Resolve

Hello Dropbox Team,

As a photographer and filmmaker, I’m currently trying to streamline my workflow using Dropbox and DaVinci Resolve. My ideal setup involves a single, organized Dropbox folder where I can share everything with my clients—planning documents, administrative paperwork, NDAs, project files, and final deliverables.

However, I’ve been facing confusion because I’m using both Dropbox and Dropbox Replay. This means that my files and feedback are scattered across different locations, making it challenging to keep everything in sync and having different Links floating around with clients.

Ideally, I would love a unified workflow where everything is within one shared dropbox folder and feedback gathered on videos appears directly within DaVinci Resolve, allowing me to seamlessly incorporate client feedback into my editing timeline.

I’m reaching out to see if there’s a way to simplify this process, so that all my project files, feedback, and final versions are neatly organized in one place. This would greatly improve efficiency and clarity in my projects.

Best,
Philip

    Hi phjsw, thanks for contacting us!

    We appreciate the feedback on this matter. Currently there isn't a method to have both Dropbox and Dropbox Replay syncing with one another in the method you're looking for.

    We take all comments into consideration when improving the Dropbox site and services.

    I'll leave this thread open in order for other users to post their suggestions.

    Hi Jay and great to get your feedback on that. 

    There is already a way to upload files from Davinci Resolve directly to Dropbox and get the get comments synced. However that file can't be placed in any folder and gets just uploaded to the main folder. 

    If I could move that file and have it sync the feedback than that would already be very nice.
