Who can comment on a specific time on video and audio files?

If the file belongs to someone with a Dropbox Professional, Business Advanced, Enterprise, or Education account, other people with those account types will be able to comment on a specific time. 

If the file belongs to someone with a Dropbox Basic, Plus, Family, or Business Standard account, comments can only be left at :00 and the time will be grayed out.

Members of Dropbox Business teams that have purchased the Creative Tools Add-On can also comment on specific frames of video files.
