Videos previewed on the Dropbox website have a time limit based on your account level. If the owner of the file has a Basic account, the first 15 minutes of the file can be previewed. For Plus, Family and Professional accounts it's the first 60 minutes, and for Business accounts it's the first 4 hours. If a file is longer than these times, it needs to be downloaded to a device and watched locally to see it in its entirety.
