Good afternoon rp58r,

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!

It sounds like you would like to access videos from DropBox on your Apple Watch Series 7, and we'd like to help.

The only videos you can currently watch on your Apple Watch Series 7 are short videos embedded in text messages.

Any other videos would have to be accessed or downloaded using the iPhone that your Apple Watch is paired with.

You would use the DropBox app for this particular situation, or the Files app to download files in general to your iPhone.

Use the Files app on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch

Take care.

Thank you for the reply. I should have explained better what I was trying to do. I would like to download some videos to my Apple Watch Series 7. I would also like to watch others through some cloud service like icloud or any other compatible ones. Is there a solution for this? The most important thing is I want to watch these videos while I'm not near my iphone. Thanks

Hi rp58r,

You can't view video files on an Apple Watch. That is why we provided information about doing this on an iPhone.

Enjoy your day!
