Internet or app problems?

Internet or app problems?

Ngocanh1510

Hi all,
My phone is now well-connected with wifi that I can approach all web and watch all videos in the internet but Dropbox video.
My friend shared a folder to me in which included any videos that lasts for 2 hours each. Last week I still could watch videos in Dropbox. Today I accessed to videos and I cannot play them. The screen on my mobile phone shows "Couldnt connect to Dropbox. Please check your internet connection and try again".
Has anyone experienced this problem yet? Please help me. Thanks in advance!

Hi @Ngocanh1510; I'm sorry for the late reply.

 

If you're still having issues with this, can you try another network or cellular data and let me know if you still get the same error?

 

In case you do, I'd appreciate a screenshot so I can have a visual too.

 

Thanks!

Thanks for following up @Ngocanh1510!

 

I'm sorry to hear you're still having issues with this, but you haven't mentioned if you've tried any of my suggestions and how they worked out for you so could you please clarify what have you tried so far and the results you got?

 

Thanks again and I'll be looking forward to your response so we can look further into this.

Are you serious? She said she tried what you suggested and you provided zero help. I have the same issue and I need this fixed now and yes I've tried multiple different devices and multiple different internet connection methods.

Yes that'd be good. There are 5 links with the same issue. Where I can't stream the videos though I was able to on Monday and nothing has changed since then in terms of the links or my dropbox account. My email is [personal information removed by Moderator for security purposes]
