I can't open my files
I've had dropbox for years and years. I have my entire life of photography and other projects saved in it. Other than 2 folders I have been working in constantly over the last few weeks - I cannot open anything! They all say "cannot open file". I can "see" the file on my phone, but they will not download!
Please HELP!!!

Hi there funkyblue3, sorry to hear you're having issues with this.
Are you able to preview those files normally on our website? Could you please send us a screenshot of the error you're getting so that we can have a look too?
Also, what's the format and size of those files?
Any additional information is more than welcome!
