Videos are choppy when I upload or download from Dropbox

Videos are choppy when I upload or download from Dropbox

Hi all, 

 

When I upload videos I've taken on my phone to Dropbox, they're completely choppy when I play them back in my synced Windows folder. When I play them back on Dropbox web version they're okay, but when I download them from there, they're choppy again.

 

They seem to be okay when I open them with Photos, but not Media Player. Regardless, if I then upload to Canva, they're choppy, and I need to be able to edit them specifically in Canva.

 

I desperately need a solution. I've seen that other people have had this problem too but I can't see any solutions offered. I'm viewing them as MP4 files. 

 

Thanks, 

Jules

Hi there @jules_moradi - sorry to hear you're having issues with this.

 

Have you tried using another media player or downloading and installing a codec pack for your media players on your computer?

 

Does it happen with only one video, some or all? How are you uploading them to your account in the first place?

 

Let us know more and we'll take it from there, Jules.
