I want to use dropbox for my movies.

I want to use dropbox for my movies.

Hi,

 

I want to learn how can I use Dropbox for my movies. My question is if I want to move my movies to Dropbox can I watch as in my local files? I'm thinking to buy Dropbox 2TB account instead of buying a new external hard disk.

 

My internet is not so fast. Pretty slow actually like 2-3mbit for download and almost 1mbit for upload speed. My other question is if I want to move my files to dropbox should I wait for till all the files are uploaded and while the uploading process is that gonna affect to my internet speed? I'm wondering how to system works exactly.

 

Would be great to get some help about that.

 

Thanks.

Hello, @mokingpu.I'd be happy to answer these questions for you! 

If you add your movies to your Dropbox account, you should be able to preview them without any issues using the Dropbox desktop application. 

Now, keep in mind that the app and website are both able to upload as fast as your internet speed allows. 

If I were you, I would have a look here. There are helpful articles that'll help you get the best out of Dropbox. 

Can you give it a go? Keep in mind that, we're always here.
