Hello Daphine,
Thank you for replying.
1) Yes, this happens with multiple video files .mov and .mxf files
2) I am not using a web browser to retrieve the file, a client of mine
sends me an email and within the email is a share link that I click on,
that opens the beginning clip of the video, to the right is another radio button giving me
an option to 'Download Direct' or 'Save to Drop Box', the latter works, the former fails.
3) I am not sure of 'incognito/private' browsing window.
Thank you,
Mike
