    Hi there lkwizzy, thanks for reaching out to us here!

     

    From what I could find, the Dropbox app isn't one of the currently supported apps for Chromecast. You can check out some more info on the supported apps from here.

     

    Perhaps you can try opening the video from the Chrome browser on your phone and Cast the tab? The steps to do this are outlined here.

     

    Let me know if this helps!

There does not seem to be a way to cast a tab from the Chrome app on iOS (from an iPhone). The instructions you linked to will only work for the PC (or possibly Mac) version of Chrome.
Please consider adding casting functionality to Dropbox.
Thank you!

    Hey there LEGODamashii, thanks for your feedback on this.

     

    You can also take a look at this idea and upvote it to show your interest in this functionality. 

     

    Cheers!
