Thanks for posting on our forum, unebellereine!
I’d like to clarify something first; you mention that you’re trying to download this file to your laptop. Are you using the Dropbox website to do that, or do you have the desktop app installed, and you’re trying to sync it locally instead?
Can you send me a full screenshot of the error you’re getting?
Finally, what’s the file extension of the video you’re having trouble with?
Let me know.
