Ok so a lot of you use shared & cheap hosts.

Content Lockers, Landing Pages, etc.
When you embed from YouTube and similar networks, your video often gets removed.

if you upload on your shared hosting, it may get suspended.

Use this wordpress code to embed videos directly from dropbox. No dropbox branding, no ads. Nothing, nada. :)
Code:
<p><video controls="controls" width="640px" height="480"><source src="https://www.dropbox.com/s/your_dropbox_id/your_video_file.mp4?raw=1"></video></p>

Replace your_dropbox_id and your_video_file.mp4 with the video in your dropbox.

A lot of you will find it useful, I am sure.

Cheers!

Thank you for the code. I'm thinking to use this code in my tube site.

Can you please tell me if this possible to hide the source of the video somehow? I'm asking because I have few dropbox accounts filled with premium xxx videos.

If I use your code, will it possible that I get DMCA to my dropbox and dropbox will suspend my accounts?

If yes then how to avoid it?

You could use a cloaking domain that forwards on, but the end user still has to be exposed to dropbox.com at some point. Even if manually following the domain

Never tried as I use it for mostly videos that youtube does not like (cpa for example) no issues in dropbox for these.
 
Dropbox won't block you or anything?
Never blocked videos for CPA, short explainer videos, etc. I haven't tried other niches, but if you ask for bandwidth, they won't block you even if on a free account.

That's why I'm too cautious to use it.

Thanks for the sharing.

Are you telling me only adding the id of Dropbox get the files, that there security exploted...

That means little array can see all in the users account.

I think you need to make a free account just for this method only.

Why Dropbox info shouldn't be shared .

I don't get what you are saying :D
 
can we use a custom domain and use cname DNS cloudflare proxy to proxy and hide dropbox.com ?
and is there any limitation on dropbox like gdrive limit download?
