    "Since you've installed the mobile app, have you tried exporting those files to the SketchUp app?"

     

    No, but I'll give that a go tonight or tomorrow. Thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks for the additional details, John - much appreciated.

    That works, once I found the Export option in the Dropbox App under Share.

     

    But I still don't understand why SU files won't download via a browser. Any thoughts on that?

      Glad to hear that worked for you, John,

      As to why your SkethcUp files won't download via a web browser, I'm not sure at all - you could try contacting Google (since you're using Chrome) to ask for further assistance on that.

      Have a lovely week ahead and let me know if you have any other questions!
