- I load the Link with the video: it works fine
- I accept all cookies, reload the page: it works fine
- I login with my credentials, reload the page: I get the error

1 year agoHey originalemanuel, since it works with Chrome and Edge, it must be something to do with Firefox.
If you login to your Dropbox account to view the link, then you get the error, right?
If you use a different browser to save the video to your Dropbox, are you able to preview it as normal through Firefox?

I do not understand the 2nd Question. I did not save the video from a browser to Dropbox, I do that with the Windows App.
