A Dropbox Replay alternative
DropYourFiles and Dropbox Replay, side by side.
Both let your client leave notes on a film at a timecode, with no account. Here is where they differ, from each one’s own pages, with the date we read them.
Free up to 5 GB. No card. Read on each one’s own pages on October 28, 2026.

Which one suits you.
Dropbox Replay may suit you better if
- Your files already live in Dropbox and you want review without moving them.
- You cut in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or Pro Tools and want your client’s comments inside it.
- You need comments exported for Avid Media Composer, or in several formats.
DropYourFiles may suit you better if
- Your client should open one page of photos and films with your name at the top.
- You want the room, the review and the delivery in one price, not an add-on on top of storage.
- You want your client’s approval to take the watermark off and open the full-size downloads, on the same link.
- You cut in Final Cut Pro and want your client’s notes as to-do markers.
