Large download get interrupted for my client.
I have to urgently send a large ProRes file to a client that I’ve already uploaded to Dropbox. The upload worked fine (months ago), but when the client goes to the link and presses download, it works for a while and then cuts off every time! (Before it even gets halfway done) It’s 110GB, so it’s large, but how am I supposed to share it with them if the download keeps breaking down? I have a Professional subscription, and the client is a film production company that has a stable, full fibre connection, so it’s very unlikely to be their internet. Any help greatly appreciated! They’ve tried to download multiple times on different days.
Better user experience for previewing shared videos
I don't use Dropbox very often because of the following problem. I mainly use it to share videos with my friends and I would really like the video to appear in a nice simple window when they play it. Unfortunately the visitor sees a lot of unnecessary text in the window which is just a distraction. With all respect it appears the window was created by engineers who are not concerned about appearance. My visitors already know who sent them the link, and I don't like the window having intrusive sharing options and text promoting the app. I think Dropbox should offer a version that is crafted with a simple appearance so the focus is on the content. I would be happy to pay extra for this option. It could be called "Dropbox pure" or "Dropbox clarity" or "Dropbox presentation" or something. As it is, Dropbox is a last resort for me because of all the clutter. Perhaps there is a cloud storage solution out there that is esthetically pleasing for the viewer, but I have not found one.
