    Thanks for posting on our Community today, MarinaDSGN! 

    Just to make sure we’re on the same page; how would you like to add your video file from Dropbox to your website? Do you want to share it there via link and have users play the video from a preview on your website?

    In general, even if you’re on the free Basic plan, users can stream your video up to 30min (you can also see more info in this Help Center article).

    Please let me know if you have any other questions, or in case I’ve misunderstood something.
