    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.

    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.
