The links are still valid and videos are working in dropbox, just not where embedded. Has something changed or is there a problem with dropbox?
\nI suspect Dropbox is actively blocking it - Dropbox isnt and never was a hosting platform. They have done this previously and so I wouldnt be shocked if they did it again.

It's a 302 redirect which has been re-introduced.
Actually I don't see the difference between sharing a hosted file and serving a hosted file.

Im having a major problem withe embedding dropbox video anywhere. MY first post so sorry for potentially noob question.
I use dropbox to embed videos on Shopify, Readymag and other platforms for over 3 years.
I was always using online service https://onelineplayer.com/ to generate <ifame
Yesterday some of the videos just stopped working and are showing grey board with info \"video not found or not supported) while other videos, treated in exactly same way are working correctly. Help please this issue happened on live projects and I am being chased by clients/ex clients!
Example of dropbox video working correctly:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/usjnn0cvqzxi60h/grassmarket.mp4?st=gvsu6qd4&dl=0
Example of video not working at all:
I have also notices that the links of the videos with the problem have different structure. Not sure why (these are in the same folder on dropbox)
I will also add I found a solution which seems to be working but for a few hours only:
I change the ending of not working video from dl=0 to raw=1
than I paste it to chrome and it becomes this:
I use this link to feed it to https://onelineplayer.com/ and this works perfectly fine BUT only for a few hours.
help please I might be overcomplicating this, I jsut want to udersntand why some old videos work ok and some are not.
maybe there is also an easier way of embedding videos on the website.

Good morning, I have a standard plan an I am experiencing a strange behavior of Dropbox, apparently. More exactly all the videos I need to show on my pages do not appear. I have a website and wordpress installed, and as of this morning everything was fine.
Here's an example: https://www.evolvinnova.eu/2024/05/04/video-test/
the file seems accessible and shared to anyone who has the link:
https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/vglnkmtnlpvo7svmkzxl3/fallo-al36-secondo.mp4?rlkey=7a9lzrn2bszrx34efot34hioc&st=w0whscno&dl=0
Of course I changed dl=0 in raw=1 but yet it doesn't work.
What can this be due to?
Thank you so much for any suggestion and hint, and please excuse me if the request is not proper or placed in the wrong place.
Have a nice day!
Gabriele
