There must be a problem with the file, if you want you can share it and I can check if it opens on the desktop version.

hello,  
the mobile viewer isn’t depending on any subscription, it just hasn’t been updated since september 2024. Any file created with 2024&2025 version won’t open, nor files created with sketchup for web.

and since you can’t officially save to older versions…

I could open your file without any issues, I fixed it a bit, since you have an stl I guess you want to print it so you must have solid groups, you had two tags but those were assigned to loose geometry so when I ran Cleanup3 it removed the tags from the geometry and deleted them since they weren´t been used on the model, anyways you can create them again and assign just to groups or components.
