I have Dropbox Plus, and have the Dropbox app on my iPhone 7 Plus. I tried to look at some baby videos of my daughter on Dropbox (from the last year or so), and none of them will play. They will regi...

Oh one other thing to consider is. Has the video completely upload to the server ? I assume yes because you said it would open from the Photos app one its there.

Thanks for your response Tom.
I have tried wanting and waiting, but no change. I tried downloading the video, and it will play on my iPhone once it’s in my Photos. It still won’t play within Dropbox though.

Thank you for trying though!
