I use Dropbox mainly for transferring video files for work. I only need it for other people to download, not to stream within Dropbox. I have to wait until Dropbox encodes the web streaming version, before the other person can download the files.
So I think we should have a way to disable the feature of having Dropbox encode the web streaming version. It will save my time and I suppose save Dropbox's resources.
Also I think all the Dropbox transcoding is what caused my share link to be banned for "High Traffic." I currently have the Advanced Business account for teams. I uploaded a large amount of video files for a partner. But the share link and the files within them got "banned" according to Dropbox support for "High Traffic." I haven't even shared the link with the partner yet. So no one had downloaded anything. I'm assuming the "High Traffic" came from Dropbox's transcoding of the video files.
