You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.
Dropbox Replay compare mode - add the ability to see comments on previous versions
Hello, When reviewing new versions on Compare Mode, there's no way (or I can't find a way) to see the comments from a previous versions to understand if the issues were addressed or not. As a workaround, I have to open two different windows set them side by side, one with current version and another with the previous version, I call it Manual Compare Mode. I don't think this makes any sense. Making the switch from Frame.IO this is something that is extremely useful that I really miss. Also, Compare Mode should be available on shared links as my clients also miss this feature, as it is extremely useful as already stated in many posts. Can Dropbox please add the ability to see previous versions comments in Compare Mode? Cheers!Trial period for the Dropbox Replay add-on
I reckon that the full replay add-on could be useful, however before I pay for a full annual fee I would have to test it. Does it actually fit our workflow, can we get our clients to use it, how good is the transcription feature etc. You guys are not selling this thing very well tbh. Looking forward to see more!
Replay - Comments follow versions
As I go through versions - it would be good to have the comments follow - so when looking at a new version I can see if the requested changes were in fact completed and completed to my liking. Right now if I add a new version all the comments remain attached to the older version - and so while viewing the new version I can not follow along and resolve.
Ability to overlap a video version with audio versions in Replay
Hi I work in audio and have recently started using the Replay feature and love it. However, my life would be made far simpler if after I have uploaded a video and received notes, I can simply upload a .wav file for the next version and Replay marry that with the video file that's already uploaded. It would save me a lot of time if I could upload a video once since it doesn't change, and just upload new audio versions going forward. Any way to implement this feature, Dropbox?
Search Function in Replay
I'm quite happy with what Replay has to offer so far but there is one function missing that I feel is super important especially if we become a long time user - A search function. Currently I guess the only way to search all videos quickly would be to upload files to Dropbox first before importing to Replay to use the search function there but it's an extra step in our workflow that we don't want to have to do.Adding this function may see us fully migrate from Vimeo to Dropbox.
