Notes: 

  • Only video files can be archived. Entire projects can’t be archived at this time.
  • Files added to Replay directly from your local drive, Google Drive, OneDrive, third-party editing software, or any source other than your Dropbox, will count against your Dropbox Replay storage limit and your Dropbox plan storage limit. Files added to Replay from your Dropbox account don't count towards your Dropbox plan storage limit.
