A broad review workspace with a free plan, detailed feedback, and editing-app integrations.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Dropbox Replay is a browser-based review and approval tool for video, audio, image, and PDF projects. It is designed for creative teams that need structured feedback without requiring reviewers to install special software or maintain a Dropbox account. Core review tools include time-coded and time-range comments, frame-by-frame feedback, on-screen markups, comment resolution, version tracking, approval statuses, and approved-file downloads. Replay is available on the web, Windows, and macOS.
Pricing is built around a free plan with limited features for Dropbox users, plus a Replay Add-On for Dropbox Plus or higher plans. According to the published plans, the Add-On costs $10 per user per month when billed annually, or $12 per user per month when billed monthly. Both paid options list premium Dropbox Replay features. Feature availability varies by plan, so teams should match their required review, approval, and export functions to the selected Dropbox subscription before choosing a paid tier.
Replay’s strongest fit is a production workflow that needs precise feedback and a clear record of revisions. It supports synchronized live review sessions, side-by-side video version comparison, previous-version comments, pinned and labeled comments, reactions, and resolution. Comment exports are available in XML, FCP XML, JSON, CSV, plain text, and Avid formats. Integrations cover Adobe After Effects, Adobe Premiere Pro, Avid Pro Tools, DaVinci Resolve, Apple Final Cut Pro, and LumaFusion. Teams working across these applications should find the workflow alignment useful; teams needing more advanced reviewer roles or functionality outside Dropbox’s plan structure should consider alternatives.
