Extensionless files canât be previewed
Yesterday, I decided to rename some of my videos on here to help me better identify them. After doing so now my files say: "Extensionless files canât be previewed" . I tried to restore them to the previous version but still nothing. It will let me view the previous version but I cannot get a link to it to show others and when I try and download it (in hopes that I can upload it on here again) I get this error: Error (403) It seems you don't belong here! You should probably sign in. Check out our Help Center and forums for help, or head back to home. I am indeed signed in and it is my video and my account. I would really love to fix this issue because these videos (which are from my security cameras) are actually quite important. I needed to show them to a lawyer etc. I also tried to search my computer and see if it is in the dropbox cache, but that is empty. Unfortunately when I had transferred these files to another hard drive something happened and some of the files did not transfer. So, I don't have that option to go back and get them that way. Again, all I did yesterday was rename the files. I also tried restoring the previous versions with no luck. Any clue as to what happened and how I can fix this?Solved23KViews0likes14Comments

Is it possible to view backup files on the mobile app?

I canât figure out how to view the backups in my mobile app. I can see the file names in my mobile app. But, when I click on them, it simply takes me to the general list (camera uploads, documents, etc.) TIA!Solved11KViews0likes12Comments

"Sorry. Photos can't open this file because the format is currently unsupported..."
I am not able to open the hundreds of photos in my Dropbox. I get the following message: "Sorry. Photos can't open this file because the format is currently unsupported, or the file is corrupted." These are jpeg files and were always able to be opened before this recent attempt. Do you know what happened and whether I can retrieve my photos? Please help.
