Are you keeping Dropbox open?

 

If not you may find it easier to connect the phone to the computer and let Dropbox sync that way.

    Hey Thibault26, are you able to open and play the video file on your phone as normal?

        Thanks, Thibault26.

         

        I see you mentioned that when you connect your phone to your PC, the video doesn't show up in your files; do you mean your Dropbox files?

         

        Or does it seem like the file is not stored on your phone, when you connect the device to the PC?

         

        If it shows up as stored on your phone, are you able to copy it to your PC?
