When previewing audio files on Dropbox, the playback skips or drops out. Any ideas?
Hello, just wondered if any other music tech-y people have had any trouble with glitchy audio files when using Dropbox to share them? A track that I have mixed and bounced down on my studio pc, whic...

Dropbox StaffThanks for the ticket ID Barbylucedistelle - I've located it in our system and passed on your comments on.
I can see that a member from the team has already replied to you there, so I'd suggest getting back to them to continue looking into this.
Let us know if you have anything else to add in the meantime.
Yeah, I just answered their questions.
It is a funny one as of yesterday it was happening on a desktop browser while today it's "only" happening on my phone. Now, before anyone says the issue is with my iphone speakers, I can tell you that I can reproduce any other sound with no issues whatsoever, I can also reproduce the file on a google drive with no problems. This is just happening when playing those mp4 on dropbox, either via the app itself or a link on the iphone browser.

Thanks for the additional information Barbylucedistelle - much appreciated.
Have you tried clearing the app's cache since you first noticed it by the way?
Yes, I just did, restarted the app and it's still happening.

Did you log out of your account and then back in during the process Barbylucedistelle?
Is this happening with a single file or is it affecting all of your mp4 files?
I uninstalled and installed the app again. It is now happening with all mp4 files.
I only noticed because the editor I sent the file to via dropbox flagged it to me yesterday, he texted me asking why the sound was crackling so I went checking in the app on the phone and there it was. I am asking him to try again as I do not have this issue on the desktop, now waiting for him to get back to me.
would be great to have keyboard shortcuts for playing videos on web browser, e.g.
left arrow - skip backward
right arrow - skip forward
I know, left and right arrow is reserved for previous and next file, can be used other keyboard, but these would be logical.
