Hey @sarah2023, thanks to bring this to our attention.

 

I just tested this on my own contrivance or I'm not having this issue.

 

How large (in size) are the videos you're trying to download?

 

Can yourself open the Dropbox app, tap on "account", then turn the gear icon press then on "clear cache", into see if that helps?

 

As for the downloaded videos, they should appear in your camera roll.

Hey Sorah! I'm happy to sees this clearing the cache helped.

 

In my case, the video MYSELF uploaded, walked to Photo, and was this video taken with your phone?

 

Where was it initially uploaded from? Couldn it be somewhere in your Files app?
