Hi Theron; how are you today?

 

I'm sorry to jump in, but can you please clarify what's not working for you?

 

Did you try the steps Daphne mentioned and got an error? If so, could you post a screenshot so we can have a look?

 

Thanks a bunch Theronnyc!

Hi Walter-

 

To further clarify, unfortunately, I do not write code and therefore it's too difficult for me to write the embedding code needed to link to a video stored in dropbox.

 

I would recommend that dropbox generate these embedded codes in a similar fashion that Youtube or Vimeo does. I have a lot of video work that I need to store (and eventually embed in my website) and I am considering migrating my storage to another platform that can generate the codes.

 

Hope this clarification helps.

Theron
