    Hi there, LT28
     
    If you have the desktop app installed, please bear in mind that the Dropbox folder is just like any other folder on your computer. In other words, you can select a file from there as you would with any other folder on your device. 
     
    If you don’t have it installed, you can just download the video in question from the website and upload it once it’s available locally on your computer. 
     
     
    Spoiler
    If you’d like to download a file from the website, you can do so by:
    1. Signing in.
    2. Navigating to the Files tab. 
    3. Locating the file in question and hovering over it. 
    4. Clicking on the ellipsis (…) that appears on the right-hand side. 
    5. Selecting Download from the drop-down menu.  
    Let me know if you have any other questions!
