- Since the tablet is an Android and I have an Apple Id login, when I try the prompt doesn’t work which I think that is another issue.
It take me to the browser to do a login but then it won’t work so I did it on the browser, however I tried to do it with another account sharing the folder and saving the videos with this other account which it still works but the problem is that they keep getting sent and saved as files, not in the gallery giving the same issue that the file won’t open.- Jay
If the file is working normally on the app and in a browser, then it sounds like there's an issue during the download process.
Are you connected to a stable WiFi connection? Have you tried using cellular data to download the file? Could you try marking the file as available offline first, and then exporting it to your device?
