Sharing links of the videos onto my own website
I have videos stored on Dropbox, and when I use my website to share and display these videos by copying the links from Dropbox, the links change continuously, causing the videos to stop being display...

Dropbox Community ModeratorHey Fahd Abrah - sorry to hear about this.
Could you clarify if the same links are working normally when copying and pasting them manually onto a web browser?
Any additional information or screenshots are more than welcome!

Dropbox often actively blocks things which are being used to display on websites - simply put, Dropbox is not a content delivery tool or a webhost. They have also changed and updated the URL structure multiple times.
My personal recommendation is to use a proper webhost for storing your videos. Especially one that doesn't do things like this, or, have such strict bandwidth limits you cannot cancel etc.
Which webhost is good in your opinion?
