Dropbox Replay: The best Frame.io alternative you’ve been waiting for

Dropbox Replay offers rich media watermarking on all paid plans, while Frame.io only allows users on their Enterprise plan to add watermarks. With dynamic watermarking, you no longer need to worry about your work leaking. Automatically burn the recipient’s email, IP address, date, and time of opening onto any of your shared files. In the unfortunate event your work gets leaked, watermarking will allow you to instantly identify who's responsible.

Unlike Frame.io, Dropbox Replay will automatically transcribe your uploaded edits with support for 23 languages. This allows distributed, global reviewers to display captions that aid in the review process. Transcripts can also be used to navigate quickly find specific quotes or mentions of a subject, reducing the need for reviewers to manually scrub through the video multiple times.

Video and rich media projects require a lot of storage space. With a Dropbox account, you’ll get access to both Replay and expandable cloud storage for all of your creative projects. What’s more, fast file syncing means changes to large project files are quickly accessible across team members and devices—perfect for collaboration.

Replay includes large file transfer powered by Dropbox Transfer, allowing teams to deliver up to 250 GB of files to anyone via a download link. For those that want to make a lasting impression, download pages can be custom branded to add a professional touch to your project delivery experience.

Replay has been built to make life easier for your team, meaning it needs to adapt to your team’s needs over time. Add and subtract seats at anytime to suit your needs. For teams larger than 500 seats, a managed plan is available to ensure optimal support and scalability.

Speed up rich media reviews

When clients expect ever-shrinking turnaround times for rich media projects, your team doesn’t have the hours in the day to wait for files to upload or download. And you can’t afford to sacrifice your time to organize client feedback received via email, time that could be spent editing. Fortunately, there’s a better way to stay ahead of your deadlines.

Dropbox Replay is a Frame.io alternative that revolutionizes your review process and increases efficiency at every stage of the project.

Upload and sync your project files between devices in record time, Dropbox is proven to be faster for large file syncing—twice as fast as Box, and four times as fast as Google Drive.**

When it’s time to review your first edit, bring the team together with live review—the only experience of its kind—to watch and mark-up the same video, image, audio or PDF file in real-time. It’ll feel just like you’re together in the same room, no matter where in the world your teams work.

It’s even fast to deliver your finished exports. Send up to 250 GB of files at a time with a download link from Dropbox Transfer, all included with Replay.
