View, download, and export

Hi,
i'd like to save a video from the dropbox app to my camera roll from my iphone x.
These videos were made with an old camera, i saved them on a sd card and uploaded it to my dropbox. Now i want to save them on my iphone via the dropbox app.
The preview in the app works very well, i can watch the video even when i change the suffix to .mod.
But i cannot download it... (and no, i dont want to save it in my files, i'd like to have it in my camera roll like the other videos i took with the iphone).
So my question is basically what can i do now and is there a way to save them as i want to?
Any suggestions regarding the suffix or the video size? Or maybe direct transfer with itunes?
I tried several apps but nothing worked, im a bit devastated and out of ideas...
ah and i always get the error message: this type of video cannot be saved on this device
Thank you in advance everybody!
And im sorry if there is already a thread about this, unfortunately I didnt find anything
