Hi md22, I'd need to know some additional things, if you don't mind such as the size of the file. 

 

Also, do you use the website, when trying to preview it, and if so, which browser?

Size of the file is 4,7 Mb. I'm trying view the file in Dropbox user home page. I'm open file by double click. Firefox 124.0.2. In the other clouds I watched the file similarly.
After an error message the loading indicator remains active and the quality indicator changes value every 2 seconds. 720/480/720/480/...
