Thanks — this works here on Safari so the problem does not appear to be a general one. What system are you using and what operating system and version of Safari do you have?

We have not able to view the video, since the Dropbox account has "hit their daily limit of traffic or downloads" [Error 429].

We are sorry about this, but we are unable to reproduce nor see anything which might be causing it. 

Nobody else is reporting it either so it is most likely something local to your set-up.  If other people report it and we can figure out a way of reproducing it, we will be able to investigate further in future.

The only option seems to be to use another browser if you ever need to change the details again, sorry.
