I have a website hosted by GoDaddy which has a ton of video (large) files (I have very few users - just family members, of course). GoDaddy is now recommending that I move these files to a file storage repository; that is, off their web servers. Does anyone know if I could use my Dropbox account for this? If possible, have you done this - any tips? (I apologize for my ignorance on this website design!)

While you can do it using a shared link and modifying it to render or force a download, that's not the intent of Dropbox and you'll likely run into bandwidth issues if you're trying to serve a lot of large video out of your account. Dropbox is not meant as a web host (or a streamer). You'll be better off using a service meant for that purpose.
