Vimeo provides a dedicated video hosting platform where you can create, edit, manage, and share high-quality video content. With a customizable video player, simplified feedback tools, and advanced analytics, Vimeo is the ideal professional solution for brands and businesses.
Dropbox is a cloud storage service that lets you access files, including video, across devices and share them with others. While Dropbox is great for general file management, it doesn’t offer the advanced tools you need to create polished, professional videos for your marketing campaigns.
Fortunately, Vimeo’s integration for Dropbox allows you to get the most out of both platforms. By integrating Vimeo with Dropbox, you can:
- Move videos from Dropbox to Vimeo with our auto-integration (more on this later)
- Quickly upload videos and speed up the time it takes to encode your video files
- Customize your Vimeo video player to include your logo and brand colors
- Improve your video file management system, keeping videos organized
- Simplify sharing and privacy controls for video viewership

Did you know you can customize privacy settings for every video uploaded from Dropbox to Vimeo? Limit access to specific teams or individuals with video-by-video permissions and support video collaboration without risking security.
Enhanced customization for feedback and video sharing
Reviewing videos can be complicated when different stakeholders are involved. To simplify the process, Dropbox users can access Vimeo review tools from their Dropbox accounts. Invite team members to leave time-stamped feedback without disrupting your workflow for video collaboration sans chaos.
Ready to share your videos with the world? Move videos from Dropbox to Vimeo to embed them on your website or create GIFs for your email campaigns. Vimeo’s ad-free video player is customizable and supports 4K, 8K, HDR and Dolby Vision. You can also publish to social media in a click, thanks to Vimeo’s integrations with LinkedIn, Meta, and more.
Vimeo and Dropbox users can send large videos without compromising quality. In Vimeo, simply set the video permissions and share a link directly with your audience. Dropbox offers similar sharing capabilities for your large video files, with the option to add an expiration date.
