This problem seems to be happening to me as well. I was doing some QC for a podcast mix and noticed while listening on the iOS app that the audio started dropping out after about an hour in. Figured it may be some of the plug ins used or a DAW issue at first but every mp3 bounce shared with me after that was having the same issue in about the same exact spots. Finally realized it was a DB issue after using a different file sharing service and having zero issues then going back to the first bounce using the new file sharing service and again have zero issues. My iOS app is fully up to date as well as my browser on my computer.

1 year agoHey SR SLS. To clarify, are all the files you’re having this issue with shared with you by another Dropbox user? Or did you upload them to Dropbox yourself?
Do you mean that the audio stops completely after previewing the file for an hour or that the sound gets distorted after that?
Finally, I’d like to know the Dropbox app version you’re using on your mobile device, to make sure it’s not on beta by any chance.
