Hi williamb11, thanks for messaging the Community!

 

Just for clarification, is this an error message on the Dropbox site, or a Windows error?

 

A screenshot showing this information would help greatly!

      williamb11, Don't mix preview (that what you screenshot shows) and open. Such type of files will never preview on any machine in any browser - Dropbox just doesn't support preview for all files.

      Hope this sheds some light.
