Only videos under five minutes can be edited. Professional, Standard, Advanced and Enterprise customers can record and edit any video size up to their account's storage limit, with an added boost of 4K quality.

Now called Dropbox Sign, all users will get unlimited auto-signatures, including free plans.

The company has already hinted that it will integrate Capture into DocSend by the end of the year, which it hopes will keep its users locked into its ecosystem while battling other big cloud storage players like Google Drive, iCloud Drive, and Microsoft One Drive.
