Which Audio file would stream faster?

This has been really confusing for me as i want my website to load as fast as i could possible make it load.

I have audios on my website but i am streaming them off from dropbox. I am not sure whether streaming them from dropbox is a good idea or streaming the audios from within my root directory is better because i also don't want my website to be large in size.

So my question is which is better? Streaming from dropbox or streaming directly from the audio folder within my website.

Depends on many things.

  1. Do you have unlimited (or enough to stream each request bandwidth on your server? If your server has limited bandwidth, go with dropbox.
  2. What is your target audience? Local or global? If local, stream directly from your server (will be faster but depends on your server's upload speed) because if dropbox has no server close to your area, it will be a bit slower.
  3. Do you have enough file space for both options? If you want to upload your audio files regularly, after a while you will need to have a bigger space.
