Can a video be attached to Airtable from Dropbox or a link to drop to it?

Video files won’t currently work as attachments, but you can put a Dropbox link into a URL field. Is that what you want?

Yes. Can you show me how to create a url + the folder+filename? I’m new to Airtable.

@Ed_Cooper,
The URL would be from DropBox and stored in an Airtable URL field, so you will need to extract that from DropBox. Sign in, upload a video, then grab the shared URL and that’s the format.
Make sense?

Absolutely. Thank you!!

Copied the following URL but got an error message ‘Invalid URL’ Looks ok to me.

Is it publicly shared from DropBox?
Share the URL here if you can.

That’s a private link - Airtable is unable to access this content, ergo - it can’t link to it.

Ok I’ll work on it tomorrow.
Thanks!
