    Hey hellomoto, sorry to jump in here, but could you try renaming the files and try to move them anew?

Hey hellomoto, thanks for posting on the forum about this. 

 

As a first step, can you send me a full screenshot of the error message you keep receiving? 

 

Have you tried to reproduce this on another browser? Does the same issue persist? 

 

Finally, if you try to move an mp4 file from another folder on your Dropbox account to a different location, do you see the same error? 

 

Keep me updated on this!

    Sure, here is the error message! 

    I tried on a different browser, it worked fine for a moment, but then I couldn't move the files again...

     

    It doesn't matter which folder it is, it will be like this for several folders across dropbox.
