Why won't a video from my Dropbox account save to my iPhone?
I am trying to export an MP4 from my Dropbox to my Iphone 6c iOS 10.3.3 but am repeatedly getting the 'sorry this type of video cannot be saved to this device'. Have searched around the internet and found this question asked loads of times, yet am unable to find a clear answer as to what the cause is/how to get around this. I've exported the video from premiere, just to ensure I'm not doing anything wrong I've added a screenshot of the export settings below. Any help much appreciated as it's incredibly frustrating. Thanks.Solved141KViews1like7Comments
Why are my iPhone photos imported as .heic files when uploading them to my Dropbox account?
Why are my photos from iPhone suddenly imported as .heic files to Dropbox? This only happened this week, say on Tuesday (July 4th). Has never happened before. Now I cannot see these photos on the desktop version of Dropbox. On the Dropbox app for iPhone, I see the files (with the ending .heic) but I cannot open them and cannot preview them. What has happened and how do I fix this?Solved113KViews2likes15Comments

All videos from iPhone X have sound but the video image is missing when downloaded to my PC running Windows 10. The videos were shot on multiple video apps with the same result. The result is the same for automatically synced videos (Camera Uploads Folder) or uploaded manually with the ios app. The videos appear to play normally within the Dropbox web app but when downloaded to my PC the problem occurs. I have an iPhone 6s connected to the same Dropbox account and the videos are normal.Solved98KViews0likes4Comments
How to download photos from Dropbox to iPhone Photos app?
Is there a way to download photos I have stored in a Dropbox folder to my iPhone Photo Stream using the Dropbox iOS app? There should be a way to do this but I can't figure it out. I know there's a "Make Available Offline" feature but that doesn't appear to be it. (I can't figure out what that's for either but that's another question). I just want to be able to download photos to my iPhone Photos. Thanks!Solved92KViews1like11CommentsCan I save multiple photos from Dropbox to the camera roll on my iPhone?
Is there a way to save multiple images to my camera roll all at one time on my iphone. I am using drop box a lot but have to click on every image and view it individually before I can save it to my camera roll. This is incredibly time consuming. Is there any way using the app or website to just click the folder and move it to my camera roll?Solved78KViews1like43Comments

Mobile: Exporting: "Save to Camera Roll"-option not available
Hi! I use dropbox to sync up my files from my computer to my mobile devices (iphone and iPad). When I tried this morning to save my files to my phone, I discovered that the "Export"-button was missing and had been replaced by a share button (profile with a plus sign next to it). So my question is: How do I download my files (images in this case) to my camera roll on my phone?Solved75KViews5likes27Comments
View .eml files on iPhone
When I travel, I load my travel documents into Dropbox so I can have easy access on my iPhone. Most documents display fine but I am unable to view .eml, (Windows email files), on my iPhone or iPad. I think that I used to be able to view this type of file on IOS devices but no longer. .eml files can be easily viewed on a Windows laptop or Android device. Am I doing something wrong?Solved75KViews0likes19Comments
