Dropbox video-No Sound
submitting an assignment for homework. Uploaded the video, but there is no sound on the link. it only says preview, however, even when I do sign in, I get the full length of the video, but no sound.
Hmm, ok...
If you have the images, but not the sound, and that it's working when you open it locally, then we would need to investigate further.
Could you write about your problem to the support here:
https://www.dropbox.com/support ?Make sure to include a link to the file, so that we can try to reproduce the issue on our end.
Cheers!

Hey Oboale,
Let's look into that together!
Would you mind sending over some more details surrounding the case? For instance, are you trying to upload your video on the website, using your desktop, or via your mobile phone?
Are you receiving any error messages?
What filetype is your video? What's the filesize?
Looking forward to your reply!
Warm regards,JaneA
