    Thanks for the image. 26424 x 32766 is actually 865808784 pixels, or 865 megapixels, meaning that the images are extremely large, and would likely not be available to preview on the Dropbox site.

I had red where jpg files over 100 MB are not able to be previewed, but even when I try to open the file to see it, I get the same notifications.  I even tried loading a smaller one that was only 36 MB, but it would not show a review nor would it open either.

DropBox has been wonderful for me for so many years, so I realize that I am doing something wrong, but I cannot figure this out.
