This wikiHow teaches you how to share long iPhone videos with others, even if they are too large to attach to a text or email message. Make sure you have the Dropbox app on your iPhone before you get started.

Steps

  1. 1
    Open Dropbox on your iPhone or iPad. It’s the blue icon with a white open box inside. You’ll usually find it on the home screen.
  2. 2
    Add the video to Dropbox. If the video is already in your Dropbox, you can skip this step. If not:[1]
    • Tap + Create at the bottom-center part of the screen.
    • Tap Upload photos.
    • Navigate to the folder that contains the video.
    • Tap the video to select it.
    • Tap Next.
    • Select a Dropbox folder in which you’ll save the video.
    • Tap Upload. This can take several moments if the video is really long.
