Videos don't play in Vault on mobile app
I have a few mp4 videos in my vault that will not play. I get the following error: "Couldn't connect to Dropbox. Please check your internet connection and try again." However, if I copy one of the sa...
- problem seems solved! Great!!
Have the same problem only with the app. In any browser you can play any video in vault. I think this is a bug in the app
I have the same problem in my Samsung 8+ and Honor devices. Clips will play on my MacBook Pro, though, so I imagine they would also play on an iPhone. I assume it is an Android issue. I have reported this and have been thanked by Dropbox for drawing their attention to these issues and "we rely on our customers to blah blah blah" and will investigate. As long as you get yourself an Apple device, then you should'nt experience any problems. You do know, all you need to do is remove thos clips into another folder and they will play there, then you can put them back into Vault! Sounds long, but the only workaround i can see. Even if data is turned on, so there's no internet connection, they still won't play in Vault.
- If you use a browser instead of de app it will work. I use iPhone and same ‘problem. The problem only occurs in the app. That is why i think that this probably is a bug
Yes, that's probably right as I don't use the app on my MacBook Pro just Safari because that way I can have more than one folder open at any given time! I did think about trying Vault on a my Android's web browser, so now you have convinced me it will work. You'd have thought they'd have done the tests themselves before release, rather than promoting all the other gimmicks no one uses! Thanks.
- hope there will be an update soon👍
