Dropbox StaffHey Rob8585 - sorry to hear about this.
Can you please clarify if you notice this happen within the Dropbox mobile app or maybe on a web browser?
If it's the latter, can you clear the browser's cache or try another browser, and let us know how it goes?
Thanks!
- Hi Walter.
It's on both. Initially it was the Dropbox mobile App but l just tried the browser there and it's the same unfortunately even after clearing the cache and trying another browser.
It's annoying as it was always fine so why did it change now?- Megan
Hey Rob8585!
Are you loading this preview in your Dropbox account or from a shared link?
Also, how large are these files, and do they all skip at precisely 10 seconds or more?
- Hi Megan.
It is an audio file that l have saved in a folder in my Account.
The two audio files in question are 405 KB and 2.2 MB in size, not the biggest by any stretch.
Both skip at 10 seconds.
When viewed on Dropbox through the browzer when you can see the preview across the bottom, the 'black line' only stretches to the 10 seconds as opposed to the full time.
My point was both of these have always been perfect up to last week which no changes to the account?
Cheers.
Rob.
