You mentioned that you'd drop .pdf files into folders. Can you clarify if you're using the desktop app, or the website in order to add, and preview content from your account?

Let me know more, and we'll take it from there!
Hi there,
I have downloaded the Pdf to my computer. I check to see if it works . It opens. I drag it the website dropbox.com and put it in the file there. I try to open it and its corrupted.
.pdf files are supported but something went wrong.
It cannot be opened.

Hey nick1803, sorry to jump in, but may I ask how large is the PDF file in question?
Have you tried clearing your browser's cache or using another browser perhaps?
I have used different browsers and cleared the cahce. I can drop the file in. And open it straight away from dropbox.com
30 seconds later. I cannot open it.
Gives the same error message
