The Dropbox site shows a transcoded preview of the original file. Change the ?dl=0 to ?raw=1 and your browser will render the original animated file.

Hey BernardIE5317, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Have you tried previewing this file on a different browser or a private browsing window, to see if that helps?
And is it animated if you download it and open it locally?
Let me know what you find.

Hi BernardIE5317!
Just to clarify, did you try Rich's suggestion above and the issue still persists?
