Dropbox Replay

What Dropbox Replay is
Dropbox Replay is a review and approval workspace for video, image, audio, PSD, and PDF projects. Collaborators can watch or listen together with synchronized playback, while browser reviewers add frame-specific comments and on-screen markups without special software or a Dropbox account. Replay keeps feedback with project versions and can retain unresolved comments from earlier versions. Comments can be exported as XML, FCP XML, JSON, CSV, condensed CSV, plain text, or Avid Media Composer text. Integrations include Adobe After Effects, Adobe Premiere Pro, Apple Final Cut Pro, Avid Pro Tools, DaVinci Resolve, and LumaFusion. Uploads support files up to 150 GB and audio or video up to 12 hours; locally or externally uploaded media counts toward Dropbox storage. Replay works in browsers on Windows, macOS, and mobile devices, with a macOS desktop app. A free plan is available, while the Add-On costs $120 a year when billed annually.
