Dropbox Staff- Hi Sanchez, im also having this issue when exporting mp4 file from dropbox to my iphone. Has same error msg
I manage to download 2 previous videos which are mp4 but for some reason this latest video also in mp4 does not export to my iphone and displays the error msg
File size for latest video is 195mb.
Previous ones also arnd the same size. One thing that is different for this latest video is that its shot and rendered as 4k from premier pro and the other previous videos all shot and rendered in 1080p.
Please helpCheck if it is an interlace export. Thats what was causing my issues

Hi Superflytnt; I'm sorry to hear about this.
Does this happen for all of your files or only this one?
Could you send me a screenshot of how this file looks like on your mobile app and one of how it looks like on our website so I can have a better look into this?
Thanks!
