Streaming a shared link via Dropbox.

dnln

Hello,

 

The only reference I found to this question was dated back in 2019, which is a bit dated.

 

Question: Is it possible, if you've stored a .mp4 or .mov video on Dropbox, to stream that video either by linking to it via a URL or by using a Dropbox supplied embed code?

 

I would be using my Dropbox account as a video host for streaming to Word Press and/or to any of my html sites.

 

Thank You

Megan

Hi @dnln, let's jump right into this! 

 

You can use a shared link, which you would then embed to your site. 

 

However you need to keep in mind, that if this link brings a lot of traffic to your account, that could result in your sharing activity being banned for a while.

If you have any questions, let me know!
