Troubleshooting videos not working from Dropbox in Webflow
If you are experiencing issues with videos pulled from a Dropbox account suddenly not working in Webflow, there are several troubleshooting steps you can follow to resolve the problem:
Check video file format: Ensure that the video files you are trying to display in Webflow are in a supported format. Webflow recommends using MP4 videos with H.264 encoding.
Confirm file permissions: Verify that the video files have the appropriate permissions set in Dropbox. Make sure they are set to "Public" or "Anyone with the link" so that Webflow can access them.
Test video URL: Manually copy and paste the video URL from Dropbox into a new browser tab. If you encounter any issues accessing the video directly, it could indicate an issue with the video file or its permissions in Dropbox.
Re-upload videos: Try re-uploading the video files from Dropbox to Webflow. This can help in cases where there were any issues during the initial upload process.
Clear cache: Clear your browser cache and reload the page to ensure that you are viewing the most up-to-date version of the website. Sometimes, cached files can prevent videos from loading properly.
Check for conflicting scripts: If you have custom code or scripts on the page where the videos are embedded, there may be conflicts that are causing the issue. Temporarily remove any unnecessary code and check if the videos start working.
If none of these steps solve the issue, it is recommended to reach out to Webflow support or the Webflow community for further assistance. They may be able to help troubleshoot the problem and provide a solution.
