    Wow... you are 100% correct.
    Seems the Original file is not playing very well on my computer. (high specs...;latest I7 and one of the fastest GeForce Card and still choppy)

    Thank you very much for helping me out.
    Now I know exactly what is going on.

    Thanks !!

From Iphone using the Google Drive and Dropbox app.

 

Uploading from Iphone 8 plus to Google drive = correct

Uploading from IPhone 8 plus to Dropbox = not correct.

    You've not answered the question..... we cannot attempt to help if you wont. Dropbox doesnt change the files in anyway so something else is happening.

    How are you redownloading them?

    The website at www.dropbox.com/home and shared link etc.

      I am redownloading bij the dropbox application on windows 10 and the sync tool on the Synology Nas server...
      Both show the wrong Filesize and bitrate..

       

      Also when I check the filesize in the dropbox webbrowser (so how it is on the the dropbox server) it also the wrong filesize...

      It seems the change is done by the upload procedure.

       

      The shared link of this example video:

        Are you using the Dropbox official apps to upload?

        You using Camera Upload to add the file to Dropbox?

        If so can you try adding it manually via the + symbol.
