Link won't play entire video file

[innervisions]

Hello. I have a video on my dropbox folder and it lasts 5 hours.

When i make a dropbox link to send to a friend, the video is only 4 hours long.

Any idea why this is happening?

Thanks.

Refer to the following help article that describes the time limits associated with streaming files directly from Dropbox:

Correct. The limits only apply to streaming the files directly from Dropbox either on the preview page, to a mobile device for viewing, etc.
