Dropbox is useful for online storage and easy access of your files on your mobile devices and on all your PCs. But now, you also access your Dropbox multimedia files and play them on your TV. That's only if you have a Roku player. Roku has announced a Dropbox channel dedicated to browsing your videos and photos on its set-tops. You can also play slideshows. Without turning to other cloud services, users of Roku players have now an easy way to recapture vacation memories on a big screen.
Of course, the channel isn't perfect and it's still placed there for improvement. For instance, you can't play full-length videos. But even so, this new feature is still a big help for those who would rather prefer to play their cloud multimedia files on a big screen TV rather than on their computer screen. And what's best, you can enjoy playing your photos, music and videos on Roku channel with a free Dropbox cloud storage account.
In the past several years, cloud storage has become very trendy. With some allocated space on a computer server, you can keep your files online, without worries about your disk drive free space. There are many cloud storage services out on the market, but most of them are offering only limited storage accounts for free.
Among cloud services, the most popular is Dropbox. This offers you 2 gigabytes of free online cloud storage where you store music, videos, and photos and easily share them with friends and family. Now, the best part about Dropbox is that it can also allow streaming of multimedia files that can be played on your TV with an Android or Roku Media Streamer.
Dropbox offers one of the most user-friendly interfaces to manage your files. For keeping your folders in sync they also offer software to download on your Mac or Windows computer. Dropbox integrates with laptops, tablets, iPhones and Android devices, as well as with a couple of Roku channels. For instance, Couchy Play channel from Roku works seamlessly with your Dropbox account.
