Upload from iPhone stuck at "Preparing video"

I solved the problem I had - also in this thread:

Video stuck on “Preparing Video” - Apple Community

simply by not uploading from the Photos app, but from the dropbox app.

(Other file storage/sharing apps I don't know about)


So, DON'T use the share option from Photos, it seems to try and compress the file anyway.

in the Dropbox app: just go to Files>Upload. You get straight to the photos/videos.



Also nice to be rid of the hassle of using itunes and all that imho.
