Dropbox Replay
5 TopicsIntegrated Video Publishing & Distribution Platform
Dropbox already holds our video files. Dropbox Replay already lets us collaborate on them. The missing piece? A clean, professional way to publish and distribute them. The Vision Imagine approving a final cut in Replay and publishing it directly to a branded, ad-free video player—hosted right from your existing Dropbox storage. No re-uploading. No third-party platforms eating into your budget. Just seamless delivery. Core Features Ad-Free Branded Player Custom player controls, your colors, your logo. Professional presentation without the clutter of platform ads or recommended videos pulling viewers away. Native Replay Integration Approve a video in Replay → publish with one click. The workflow stays inside Dropbox from raw footage to final delivery. Social Distribution Bridge Push to YouTube, Instagram, Vimeo, LinkedIn, and others from a single dashboard. Stop downloading, reformatting, and manually uploading to five different platforms. Unified Analytics View counts, engagement, and performance metrics across all platforms in one place. No more hopping between native analytics tools. Bandwidth-Based Pricing This is key. We're already paying for storage. Charging again for the same bytes doesn't make sense. Price tiers based on monthly bandwidth or views would be far more logical and competitive. Why This Makes Sense for Dropbox You've built the storage. You've built the collaboration layer with Replay. Video hosting is the natural third pillar — and it keeps users inside the Dropbox ecosystem rather than pushing them to Vimeo, Wistia, or others. For creators, agencies, and businesses already using Dropbox for video workflows, this would be a compelling reason to consolidate even further.

G'day, I'm new to replay, so perhaps I just don't know how to do this, but I think having all the comments from a previous version pop up / be visible as you compare it to the new version you have just uploaded would be very useful so that you can check the changes (even though sync might be out due to changes)90Views0likes1CommentCustom Version Numbers/strings
It'd be great to edit version numbers/strings so the dropdown contains custom text. In many naming conventions, versions aren't always whole numbers, and aren't always sequential. If version 3 was just internal and never uploaded, for example, it'd be lovely to have the version numbers sync up with external filenames in Replay, so you could skip version 3 and have versions jump from 2-4. Or if auditioning music for a video, the versions could be called something like "ambient" "acoustic" "energetic" etc ... but still switchable from a simple dropdown menu.104Views0likes1CommentTimecode offset
When working on longform projects (feature films) it's pretty common to upload scenes/sections that have embedded timecode. Currently every dropbox replay comment starts at 0:00.000. It'd be very helpful (especially for comment export) to have a timecode offset for each uploaded file. So if I'm uploading a section of a film that starts at timecode 02:10:11:18, for example, the comments will begin at that timecode rather than at 00:00:00:00 Ideally, dropbox replay could reference the timecode embedded in the uploaded files to find this offset, or even read a portion of the screen (often timecode is embedded in the image) to figure out the offset. But even having a manual offset would be lovely.105Views2likes1Comment
