    The Dropbox app uses the viewers that are built-in to your device's operating system. In other words, your device needs to be capable of playing them. If it can't, then Dropbox can't. You'll need to find an application that is capable of playing the files, and then use it to open them.

There's no download button anywhere for the video someone sent me! What??? Why is Google Drive just SOOOOO much more intuitive than Dropbox?
