Super User III would then use the VLC app on my iPhone to download the files to my iPhone. Now when I click on the download icon in the VLC app it will no longer download the file.
Can you walk us through the exact steps you would take? Please provide screenshots, if possible.
Thank you for the response.
With VLC on my iPhone I bring up the app and go to the Network icon on the VLC app on iPhone. I then click on the Cloud Services and it shows available services which Dropbox is the one I select. Since I'm logged in it brings me to the folder where I have my Music. These files are in my Dropbox folder in File Explorer on my PC. Whatever I place in this folder shows up on the VCL/Dropbox screen.
In the file listing the files appear and to the right of each file in a down arrow to either Download or Cancel. When I select the download nothing happens after clicking on the Download icon.
In the past I have followed this procedure and the files downloaded without any issues. I still have over 20GB of storage in the iPhone. iOS is 18.3.1
