Embedding a video into web-page
Is the last few years of embedding Dropbox videos into a web page a thing of the past? Was there a recent update - maybe within the last few days? Embedded videos suddenly stopped working and the latest "tip and trick" is from 2017 which isn't useful.

Incorrect name sorting + default view selection
Files are sorted incorrectly by name when it includes numbers. Currently, it sorts as 10-19, 1, 20-29, 2, etc. They should be sorting 1-29 and so on!
