    Here’s how to send your 6-minute video:

    1. Check Available Space:

      • Make sure you have enough storage space in your Dropbox account.
    2. Compress the Video (IMPORTANT):

      • If the video is too large, you can use a video compression tool to reduce its size.
    3. Upload the Video:

      • Open Dropbox and click the Upload button.
      • Select your video file and upload it.
    4. Share the Video:

      • Once uploaded, click on the video file.
      • Click Share and enter the email address of the person you want to send it to, or copy the link and share it directly.

    This should help you send your video.

    On top of @JohnnyDogman's fab advice remember here the issue ISNT the length so much of the video it is rather the size of it. You need to make sure it is small enough to fit in the quota you have on your account: www.dropbox.com/account/plan
