Can't complete upload on iOS Dropbox app because file extensions are missing

Can't complete upload on iOS Dropbox app because file extensions are missing

Total Newbie here. I've done some simple file sharing with DB before. I am trying to upload videos from my iPhone 12. I get this message: "can't load without file extension". Basically I want to upload videos so I can load them into Davinci Resolve for editing. I do not know how to fix this. I tried finding previous queries but nothing seems to fit. Thanks for any help.

Hey @BCNJrealtor! Thanks for posting about this on the forum. 

 

When checking the name of the videos you’re trying to upload, do they have a file extension, like .mp4 for example? 

 

If not, try renaming them and add a file extension at the end of the file. Does the issue persist after that? 

 

If yes, please send me a screenshot of what you see here (by clicking on the small camera icon above your message box on the forum). 

 

Let me know how this goes.
