When using Dropbox Transfer the play audio doesn't work.
There is other way I could report a bug (I have a free account), so I'm doing it here.
When I'm sharing an audio file using Dropbox Transfer, there is no way I can hit the play button, because there is a cookie preferences icon just next to it. The button is visible, but not clickable.
If I use developer tools in the browser and remove the iframe with the cookie preferences icon, the play button works as it should.
In this video it doesn't work and after removing the iframe element, the button starts to work properly.

Neither zooming in or out. It all scales accordingly. The button is visible all the time, but can't be clicked due to the iframe, that seems to cover it, while being transparent.
It seems to be the element with this ID in the HTML code: #ccpa-iframe It's width is fixed to 60px and that is probably the reason it covers the button.

Hey tostanki - does zooming out on the browser help at all perhaps?

I've created a fresh Chrome profile with default settings and no plugins or add-ons. Also tried one more different browser. And I'm still experiencing the same issue. It might depend on your location, as the cookie preferences banner may show up only in the EU.

Thanks for the heads up tostanki!
Since you mentioned that things worked better when you were using incognito mode, would you mind restore your browser to its default settings and disable any browser plugins just to check if the issue is related to that?
In the meantime, I'll also give this a go and let you know if I'm experiencing the same behavior on my end.

It happened with different files and different browsers. I've tried Brave, Chrome and Firefox, also in incognito mode.
I just noticed that in Chrome there is a way to click the button, but it is also partly visually covered by the cookie button, but it worked only in incognito mode.
And this happens only with Dropbox Transfer. When I'm just sharing a file from Dropbox space, it works fine and there is no cookie button.

Hey tostanki, let's jump right into this!
I'm assuming this behavior is present with multiple files not just a specific one, right?
Do you notice this when using a different browser too, by any chance? Can you try a different one?
Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there!
