It's up to you! By default, Vimeo will only have access to /Apps/Vimeo folder in your Dropbox. If you enable full access, you'll be able to select and upload video files from any folder on your Dropbox.

To enable full access, simply check the box next to "Give Vimeo full access to my Dropbox" on your Apps Settings.

After you connect to Dropbox, you have the ability to enable auto-uploading by checking the "Auto-upload" option on your Apps Settings and choosing any folder from your Dropbox.

Once this option is turned on, any video files moved into the auto-upload folder you choose will be automatically uploaded to your Vimeo account minutes after they're added (provided you haven't exceeded your Vimeo upload quota). Auto-uploaded videos will adhere to your Global Video Settings.

Be careful when selecting your folder! If you choose a shared Dropbox folder as your auto-upload folder, anyone with access to that Dropbox folder will be able to add videos to your Vimeo account. To keep things simple, we recommend creating a folder called "Vimeo" somewhere in your Dropbox and using that.

You can choose a different folder to auto-upload from by clicking the Change link next to the auto-upload option on your Apps Settings. If you've given Vimeo full access to your Dropbox, you can select any Dropbox folder to use as your auto-upload folder. If you have not given Vimeo full access, you can only select Dropbox folders under /Apps/Vimeo.

If you move your auto-upload folder to a different place in your Dropbox, this will disable auto-uploading. To re-enable, select a new folder from your Apps Settings.

Yes, every video uploaded to Vimeo is counted toward your upload quota. If the size of the file(s) in your Dropbox auto-upload folder exceeds your current quota, your auto-uploads will be queued up until your quota resets.

If you’re a Vimeo Basic member and 500MB/week isn’t cutting it anymore, try upgrading to Vimeo Plus to boost your quota to 5GB/week.

You can see the status of your Dropbox uploads by clicking the Dropbox upload status link on the right side of vimeo.com/upload.

A status window will open, allowing you to navigate through all of the Dropbox folders you’ve given Vimeo access to. You will see a status message next to all of the videos in your auto-upload folder and any videos you've manually uploaded.

If you uploaded a video through Dropbox and you want to enable visitors to download your original file, you’ll need to keep the original video in the same place within your Dropbox. If you move, delete, or alter the file by saving a new version or renaming it, it will no longer be available for download. However, users will always have the option to download the encoded version(s) of your videos that appear on Vimeo.com if you enabled this option on your video's settings page.

If you want to re-enable downloading of your original file after you’ve modified the file on Dropbox, use Vimeo’s replace feature to replace the file that was originally uploaded from Dropbox with one uploaded directly to Vimeo.

You can disconnect your Vimeo account from your Dropbox at any time on your Apps Settings. Simply click the Remove Access button on the Dropbox section.

Removing this connection will not affect the Vimeo videos you uploaded via Dropbox, but it will prevent visitors from downloading your original video files.
