HTML audio element not working with Google Drive or Dropbox

I'm having problem streaming audio in my site with the audio element.

<audio controls="controls">
<source src="?" type="audio/mpeg" />
Your browser does not support the audio element.
</audio>

When trying to source the file with DropBox or Google Drive the player doesn't load the audio. I even tried softgateon.herokuapp.com/directlink in vain. Any suggestion or alternative?

examples of failed src:

You simply cannot host files on these services in this way. Neither allow direct linking to the actual files.

Use a web server.
