Hello familia! We have been thinking of many ways we can improve your user and viewing experience here on Patreon, to ensure you can watch everything smoothly and conveniently 😊. One question we have is which platform do you usually use to watch our videos? Why do you choose that one over the other?

Also, we get numerous emails from Dropbox with some people requesting access or permission to our videos. We do not know if it is familia in our Patreon or outsiders requesting it, so we wanted to ask if there has been any trouble with accessing our Dropbox videos? Does Dropbox ask you to request access/permission from us when you access it?

With this information, we can continue to plan and develop better ways you can smoothly watch our videos, without any inconveniences or problems! We always have you on our minds and want to give you the absolute best.

Plus, if there are any other technical issues with Patreon, please leave them in the comments below so we can address them so it can never happen again.

We purple you, and will see you very soon with episodes 5 & 6 of BTS Monuments: Beyond the Star! Such great episodes that give us so much new information!! AHHH this docuseries should win an Oscar.. 🏆

I don’t like daily motion ads so I only use drop box

Rae

I usually use Dropbox, since I mostly watch everything on my phone it’s easier that way. Plus it helps that I have the Dropbox app on my phone too.

J2OD

I always go for Dropbox, and I never had any problem with it.

mia

i prefer drop box because daily motion is too much ads though i have an ad blocker it detects it so i can’t use it.

TB

Hi. I only use Dropbox, and i've never had trouble accessing the videos.

Isa O

I generally use Dropbox because of dailymotion ads, but I actually prefer dailymotions video quality. Dropbox has shown me that message a few times saying I needed to request access but when that happened I just closed the link and entered again and it was fixed.

iTanasia

i go for dropbox since i have the app downloaded! and it’s always been fine for me, no questions or anything!

Dropbox is my go to platform.. only requires the password you guys fix for each video 😊

jooniesbonsai 🪴⊙⊝⊜

Hmm, as far as I've been aware of there hasn't been trouble accessing dropbox videos. And i've pretty much only have been using that to watch ur videos...although sometimes there have been weird cuts in dropbox but I think thats more of a them issue than something on your end. It usually gets fixed after a few days. and dropbox never asks me request access so THAT parts a bit weird. Patreon usually runs pretty smoothly on my end so no issues over here :)

Shay Peart

I always use Dropbox because of dailymotion ads, but sometimes Dropbox will freeze up. As far accessing the video it only ask for the password which you provide under the link so that's it.

Desi Jones

I prefer Dropbox cause I don’t like the ads on daily motion! And have no issues with it!

Chim

I love using dailymotion because I have an ad blocker. I sometimes watch on Dropbox if dailymotion is not there.

Bulletproof Girl

I voted for Dropbox because that's what I often use now but when I'm watching old reaction videos, I use Dailymotion. Happy New Year, familia!

GiGi

I tried to check "both" in the poll, but it won't "stick", so...anyway, I haven't been able to use the Daily Motion links lately, because when they load in the app, instead of the password prompt that I used to get, now I just get a "something went wrong, try again" error. The reason I prefer DM (or even Vimeo) is that I watch on my tablet and the "picture in picture" works better in those (I'm a multi-tasker lol). I use Dropbox less often because if I don't have time to watch the entire video, sometimes it forgets where I was and I have to fast forward, but then doing that seems to interfere with the playback, and I'm forced to just start from the beginning again.

Alyssa

I always watch on Dropbox. Only platform used that doesn't give me issues.

GiGi

I get no ads when I'm using their app, but I do get them if I watch in a browser instead.

essi

dropbox is very slow to load and glitches a lot. using an ad blocker, dailymotion is best

Bambi

I use dailymotion with an ad blocker

bbjminie

I always use Dropbox, I think it's the one that works the best

ADB

I use dailymotion on my laptop since I have an ad blocker, but if i’m watching your videos on my morning commute then I use dropbox :)

mel

on my laptop i prefer dailymotion, because i often skip a little to rewatch a specifc moment and for some reason that doesn't work with dropbox and annoys me haha. but on mobile/tablet i use dropbox.

Carrie G

Did you guys see or react to SNTY with Usher? I may have missed it but wasn’t sure. Thanks!

corinne

i use dropbox on my ipad and i’ve never had issues like that but when i pull it up on my projector i use dailymotion which also has no problems apart from sometimes some videos have ads every 5 mins so i end up moving back to my ipad to go on dropbox lol

Zoe

I use Dropbox because it works best for AirPlay from my iPad to my tv 😅 I’ve never had any issues accessing Dropbox, it just asks for the password. I don’t use daily motion anymore because the ads. I tried the ad blocker but when I downloaded it, daily motion wouldn’t let me access any videos and had a message like “ads keep our site going! Please disable your ad blocker to continue viewing”

Zahia Bakhtiar

I use Dropbox since Dailymotion has too many ads. Never had issues accessing the videos.

Seneca

I’ve had zero problems with Dropbox for you guys, ever!

MonarisaParkingu

I use dropbox bc I use add blocker so Dailymotion is not letting me access it, but I still prefer the dropbox, I have no problem accessing using the password that you provided so it might be possible that those requesting access are not in patrion so they don't have the passwords

Misha Goldfinch

Anyone knows why my vote in the poll keeps disappearing?Did I do something wrong?

Karen

Drop box works best for me. Daily motion has too many adds and that never ends.

Misha Goldfinch

Anyway , Dropbox has been really reliable. I hope it doesn't change , because watching on Dailymotion is unbearable now. Even so before ADpocalypse I was using Dailymotion ( it was smooth in the past).

Inuy

I dont have prob , lov to watch from dropbox🤍

Hi Familia! Dropbox has been really efficient for me other than Vimeo and Dailymotion. When time goes by videos uploaded on vimeo is no longer available, while on Dailymotion, it is always available but the main issue are the ads that keeps on showing up every other minute or two. I also tried to search for other video hosting platforms and found some recommendations from patreon support itself. I'm not that familiar with the video hosting platform names but you may wanna check them out through the link below: https://support.patreon.com/hc/en-us/articles/360046704651-Video-hosting-options they have streamable, cloudflare stream, wistia, vidyard... Hope this helps familia. BORAHAEE 💜

SugaIsMyPetRock (Pamela)

I’ve gotten asked by Dropbox a few times in the past 6 months to request access to a video from you. I’m not sure why it happens. But dropbox & Vimeo are still the best for watching your videos. Daily Motion is a hassle with the ads especially if I’m casting to my tv which I do most of the time. Borahae & thank you guys

Drianne

Dropbox works the best for me!!!!

Tannu

Hi Familia Dropbox works best for me as I usually cast to my TV and Dropbox gives best experience so far. Dailymotion gives issues while casting and adds. I personally have not experienced access issues with Dropbox after entering password.

Kathryn Wilham

I only use Dropbox because I have an account there myself. Using your passwords, I've never been asked to request access. However, that might not mean the requests aren't legit, since I have a personal account there.

Priyanka Banerjee

I usually use Dropbox, I don't have a dropbox account but I can access content with the passwords you share and it doesn't even ask me to request access. The reason I don't use Dailymotion is I keep getting a lot of ads. Again I access Dailymotion also without an account.

Khushii Gupta

dropbox has been really easy, Dailymotion has too many ads to enjoy comfortably. i have to close my ad blocker for Dailymotion so it doesn't work there.

nikki

Dailymotion plays too many ads for me so I only always watch on Dropbox.. I've never encountered anything like asking me for access.. it always functions well with the passwords you provide..

Mesha ✌︎

no dailymotion please it’s all ads I can’t block them

ferrlla

no dailymotion too much ads

jergens lotion

i always choose dropbox dailymotion has tm ads

Veronica M⁷

I use Dropbox but if you use Vimeo I will use Vimeo over Dropbox. I don't use Dailymotion. It gives me problems and it has too many ads. I think the reason for the requests you are getting could be because when you open dropbox... there is a pop up box that says something about "do you want to access files"? I can't remember exactly what it says but something about accessing files. Possibly some could click on that accidentally instead of just clicking on the video?? I'm sure I did too in the beginning accidentally.

ace_pops

dropbox is the best! :)) idk why it would prompt to ask for access, but that might just be a random quirk that can happen rarely just like any other bug, no actual issues with the videos
