To embed an index.html file hosted on Dropbox into Webflow, you can use an iframe code snippet. Follow these steps to embed the file:

  1. Upload your index.html file to Dropbox:
  • Sign in to your Dropbox account.
  • Create a new folder or navigate to the existing folder where you want to store your file.
  • Upload the index.html file to that folder.
  1. Obtain the shareable link for the index.html file:
  • Right-click on the index.html file in Dropbox.
  • Select "Share" from the context menu.
  • In the sharing settings, click on "Create a link" or "Copy link".
  • Ensure that the link generated is a direct link to the index.html file.
  1. Generate the iframe code in Webflow:
  • Open your Webflow project in the Designer.
  • Navigate to the page where you want to embed the index.html file.
  • Drag and drop an HTML embed element onto the page where you want the file to appear.
  • Double-click on the HTML embed element to open its settings.
  1. Write the iframe code snippet:
  • Inside the HTML embed settings, click on the "Custom Code" tab.
  • Replace the existing code with the following iframe code snippet:
    ``` \`\`\`
  • Replace "YOUR_DROPBOX_LINK" with the shareable link obtained from Dropbox in step 2.
  • Adjust the width, height, and any other styles of the iframe as per your requirements.
  1. Save and publish:
  • Close the HTML embed settings.
  • Save your changes and publish your Webflow project to see the embedded index.html file.

By following these steps, you can successfully embed an index.html file hosted on Dropbox into a Webflow website using an iframe code snippet. The embedded file will be displayed within the iframe on your Webflow page.
