Dropbox StaffHi 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.
I am more than willing to send you a screen shot. How do I do that?

Thanks for the quick response daddiolong!
Now that you're on a computer, can you download the mentioned file and let me know its size and if you're able to preview it normally (be it on the web or on your computer)?
