You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

Replay: Better implementation of sharing / watermarks ?
Replay and it's integration into Resolve has great possibilities for client review/approvals and possibly out-perform Frame.io.
I find the key to client approvals is making sure it is drop-dead simple. The current share (paper airplane) works but it's clunky.
My 2¢ on what would be helpful.
- When pulling up the share window I'm typically sending so several people for review/approvals. I'm copy/paste'ing from Outlook or Gmail so if I click back to Replay but outside the share window, the share window goes away and with it all the emails I copied over but hadn't sent/shared yet. (AAAARrrrrrggg). Could you change the behavior so you'd need to click a 'cancel' button to make the window close?
- The share works well but after emailing Dropbox support it sounds like the only way to get the security watermark to work or manage people you've shared with is to make a project and share the whole project (add people). This requires everyone to have a Dropbox account...which is ok for working with fellow creatives...but too clunky on the client side when requesting feedback and approvals where anything besides a single click is too complicated. Could share management/watermarking function like add people?
Cheers!

Hey Paul
Could you share an annotated screenshot here because my replay does not have what you are talking about.
For me the sending workflow is simply:
Click share button
Click copy link
Make sure the link is in my clipboard
Go to email app and send the client email, pasting the link
Using the generic share link does work but there is no management of the share this way and watermarking isn't available.
I'm trying to use the share tool (paper airplane) but as it works now there is no difference between this tool and the copy link tool.My feedback would be to make the share tool in Replay work like it does in Dropbox. This would allow the user to add/remove share privileges and have a record of who has access to the video (or any other creative file).
If the viewers email could be coded into the share link sent via the share tool (paper airplane) so the video could be custom watermarked with the their email, that would allow for increased security without requiring a dropbox login from the client and would be a feature FrameIO currently doesn't offer.- lukeyo
Ok I see now, thanks for clarifying.
So right now to get watermarking and watermarking for individual emails, we have to go into a video and click the share button.
It makes sense what you're asking for - just apply the same options on the home page too, on the share icon there.
