I cant load this file type, I get an error message saying it's unsupported

I can't open my files. The app just says 'can't load this file type. This file type is unsupported here' and so on. I've already tried everything. What do i have to do now?

Hi v1ta, thanks for messaging the Community.

 

What type of files are you trying to open? 

 

Is this on the Dropbox site or on your desktop machine?

 

This will help me to assist further!
