Notes: 

  • The older version will appear on the left and the more recent version will appear on the right. 
  • The video controller is the same for both videos. 
  • When the volume is turned off for one version, the volume turns on automatically for the other version. 
  • If the person who adds the first version of the file is a customer who has purchased the Dropbox Replay Add-On, all of their collaborators also have access to video version comparison for that file.
