One of those inquiring about alternatives said he wanted to share his video via a simple link where the video would just start playing on any device, and the video was not surrounded by links or thumbnails to any other videos.
one option to somewhat reduce the YouTube cruft and still keep it widely playable is to embed in a webpage; i would bet Tumblr makes that pretty easy, also other blogging packages
With Dropbox, doesn't the viewer have to download the file? Or, will a link to a movie sitting in someone's Dropbox allow direct streaming via a browser on a mobile device?
you can wrap video/photo files in HTML (such as with JAlbum as i suggested) and deposit the whole "site" on dropbox and send people a URL to open it as a web page, rather than download the file; i know people who do this often with photos and it works well, i suspect it works with movies too
Dropbox also has a built-in gallery feature when you put folders of photos into the Dropbox/Photos folder; haven't tried it with movies
