Step 1: Get the video embed code

Note:

Dropbox does not have an in-built embed option to insert videos. However, we can manually create one.

Use the following steps to get the video embed code:

Go to the location where the video file is located in your Dropbox account.
Hover your cursor over the video and click Share.
In the pop-up, click Copy link.
Paste the copied link in a text editor.
Remove any parameters after the question mark and replace it with raw=1.
Replace video_link with the edited link in the following code snippet to get the embed iframe link.

<iframe src="video_link" height="480px" width="640px" allowfullscreen></iframe>

The final embed link looks like this.
