Let me put it this way. Vimeo watching a 45 minute Buffy or Angel episode takes 45 minutes. Dropbox watching a 45 minute Buffy or Angel episode takes 120 minutes.

2020-02-20 14:57:20 +0000 UTCThey both perform fine for me, but I do prefer DB sometimes because I like to download the episodes to take with me if I'm not going to have a connection or something.

2020-02-19 23:42:34 +0000 UTCI don't have a problem with Dropbox, but it would be great if you could do Part 1 & Part 2 for longer reactions like HP so we can watch them without having to pay to upgrade to more Dropbox space - that's the main reason i voted for Vimeo.

2020-02-19 13:10:29 +0000 UTCI always have to download (from Dropbox) to save my nerves.

2020-02-19 08:55:40 +0000 UTCI picked Vimeo because I watch on my phone and Dropbox has an issue of if I'm watching the video I can't pause or go back in the video....I tried downloading the Harry Potter one and Dropbox told me I didn't have enough storage and needed to upgrade(pay). I've watched videos that are well over the hour mark on Vimeo from other reactors and can cast it to my TV so I don't have to watch on the small screen

2020-02-19 04:03:56 +0000 UTCThe only real difference for me is that with Dropbox I always download your videos in case they are over 1 hour long. But it's not a hassle for me to do so, and I personally had no real advantages with the Vimeo platform.

2020-02-19 03:56:35 +0000 UTCI feel like the picture quality is way better on Vimeo, which is why I voted for it.

2020-02-19 03:34:19 +0000 UTCI had some buffering problems with the Vimeo videos and have never had an issue with dropbox. Bith work, but I prefer dropbox.

2020-02-19 02:31:04 +0000 UTCDropbox 100% - I do prefer to download the episodes, but the times I have watched them without doing that, Dropbox is the only one that's really reliable and works for me. It's faster and easier, so as long as Dropbox is an option - I'm very happy.

2020-02-19 02:14:54 +0000 UTCVimeo always freezes on me. I always download the eps so it's not dependent on my internet speed. As long as I can DL, I'm good.

2020-02-19 02:11:11 +0000 UTCVimeo froze on me several times. I wasn't even able to finish the supernatural episode

2020-02-19 02:08:23 +0000 UTCI always download the episodes, so as long as both platforms allow downloading, I don't have a preference.

2020-02-19 01:44:59 +0000 UTCI picked Dropbox just because I like to download the episodes.

2020-02-19 01:09:59 +0000 UTCI voted vimeo as it's so far given me zero issues for streaming. Dropbox has an issue for me where it will just freeze at some point while streaming, forcing me to either fast forward a tiny bit or refresh the page, but I've gotten around it by downloading, which works fine. That's how it's been for me, I would be curious to know if the dropbox freezing thing is something specific to me for some reason or if it happens to anyone else.

2020-02-19 00:44:51 +0000 UTCI marked Vimeo since I had zero issues with it for the one episode that I tried, but since I've only seen one video on this service, it's hard to tell if this was the normal experience or if this was just a lucky try.... Dropbox has been somewhat troublesome though, but not so bad that it would stop me from watching. It would be more confident with an answer if I had some time to really try Vimeo out.

2020-02-19 00:42:59 +0000 UTCVimeo can give some people problems so just be aware. There is a small reactor I watch who was using Vimeo, and because he was using it for Patreon (early access) they threatened to close his channel unless he upgraded to a special package - due to him making money outside of Vimeo from their platform. Then when he paid a few weeks later they deleted his Vimeo account for copyright anyway, even though they had been fine with it until then. He got a refund at least, but still not great. I didn't want to say the name, but I can let you know if want to check out the videos he made on what happened.
