Can you tell me why I can no longer stream videos?
So I have developed an issue where I can no longer stream videos on dropbox. I work at a law office and we are currently reviewing a huge amount of video files. I am suspicious that drop box is limiting my bandwidth as I have been using so much lately. Can you tell me why I can no longer stream videos? I should probably also say that I have been streaming and listining to 3 at the same time.
- Through Dropbox.
Free users only get a 20gb/day streaming limit across all of their files (or 10,000 clicks) if they are a free user (200gb/day if paying).
Also, please remember that Dropbox will only show you the first 15 minutes of a video via the website regardless of how long the video is.
- MarkSuper User IIAre you getting any errors etc. ?
Are they coming from the same account?- KelleyNew member | Level 2
No errors. The videos were shared by a different office, so not through my account. They just wont buffer.

It's possible that the account that owns the videos has reached their bandwidth limits. Is it only videos from their account? Have you tried any others?
