Hey BG2017, thanks for reaching out to the Dropbox Community.

 

Can you give us some more info on how Dropbox comes into play here?

 

Are you having this issue on Dropbox as well?

 

Any additional info would be really helpful.

    Oh, thanks for letting me know about that.

        Thanks for the update, BG2017.

         

        If you preview the video on dropbox.com, what do you see there?
