Direct link to a mp4 for webpage video slider background

Hi,

Am I allowed to direct link to my uploaded mp4 in Dropbox to provide the video background to my webpage slider?

Can I just use the Dropbox bandwidth or what's the policy/limitation?

Thanks

Ok so in my instance if I have a 1MB, 10 sec, HD (Googling suggests bandwidth usage of 5MB/sec for HD) copyright free video on my website it can be viewed say 400 times per day on basic Dropbox plan by the public given the 20GB bandwidth daily restriction.

Its just worth remembering that these are a rolling 24 hour window AND that Dropbox do, and have, changed how links work without warning before which can break things.

My personal view on this is, dont use Dropbox. It isn't a hosting tool or platform and at some point it is going to stop working for you.
