Hi daddiolong; welcome to the Community!
I'll be glad to look into this for you so could you send me a screenshot of the exact error you get and also let me know how exactly are you trying to access the mentioned file?
While we're at it, does this happen with only this specific file?
Let me know what you find and we'll take it from there.
PS: Our most recent version of the mobile app for Android devices is 182.2 currently so make sure you're running this version please.

OK, got ya. I had to log on via a computer; before I was on my phone and it didn't give me this option. This is what I see when I open a video file sent to my e-mail via another dropbox account and a link to view.
