MP4 files won't play. ".mp4 files are supported but something went wrong."
So I've been uploading videos to dropbox and suddenly dropbox just stopped allowing me to view the videos on the site. My other videos play fine but the ones I upload now just won't play. Anyone know...

I have the same problem ... as this seems to be a known problem and has been affecting people for years, why is it not being sorted out?
I've been sending video files via Dropbox for 7 years, then today, out of the blue, everything I send to any customer fails with this error! Every customer has their own IT stuff, so this is affecting every browser, not just my end but everywhere, so no point whatsoever in trying to troubleshoot this end.

Hey Netnet22, thanks for reaching out to us on this thread.
Since you mention that you've checked all the steps outlined on this thread - awesome work by the way! - could you also let me know if the file previews normally when you download and open it locally on your device?
Keep me posted - thanks!
