Open video link at highest resolution by default

When I email a video link to someone, I want that video, when the link is clicked, to open at the highest resolution (e.g., 1080p), not at the lowest resolution (e.g., 480p). How do I get that to happen?

 

Thanks

    HI there M02Drop - thanks for using Dropbox and welcome to our Community!

     

    While there's no way to adjust the default resolution that files will be previewed on the website through shared links, you'll always be able to see the full resolution file if you download it from the website and open it locally on your devices. 

     

    I hope this clarifies!
