Every so often he takes back access to the video and I then have to re-request for access to be able to view it. This time I clicked on download to save the video to my computer but then when I click on the downloaded file, nothing plays.
What am I doing wrong? Drop Box informed me that I needed to upgrade. I finally decided to try the upgrade on Sept 10th in the evening, but it did not seem to work.
Later I realized that I had put a family wedding photographs folder in the dropbox just a couple of days before. I removed those files from my dropbox.
I have been charged for the amount, so please refund to the visa card. Thank you, Marinell Eva. I am needing some help understanding if this is the right program for me.
