Hi Mackmowafy,


Have you tried closing the app or restarting your iPhone? This can resolve minor software issues. If you've isolated the issue down to the file, you may need remove it in order to resolve the issue. You can try accessing the file through iCloud on a web browser to see if you have issues opening the file there and remove it if necessary. You can learn how to do that here: Access and manage your files in iCloud Drive
