Play Your Media with Roksbox for Dropbox
Roksbox Roku Channel lets you play your music, videos or view photos from Dropbox, USB Drive, NAS or Server
If you set up a Dropbox account or you keep a large media or music library on a network drive, NAS or PC, you may want to check out this Roksbox channel to have full access to your files on Roku.
The Roksbox channel will also let you play content from Google Drive another cloud sharing site to hold your media giving you access to it from anywhere including on your Roku.
Both Dropbox and Google Drive are free to host your content and they will give you a nice chunk of cloud storage when you set up a free account. If you already have a Gmail account, you should already have this space available. Click here to access your Google Drive.
Google Drive - They give you the first 15GB of storage for free. If you need more 100GB now costs only $1.99 which is not bad if you only need to store a small library of content.
DropBox - 2GB of storage is included for Free when you sign up for a Dropbox account. While that is considerably less than Google Drive, they do give you ways to increase the amount of storage space you can get for free. Look for Dropbox Challenges which are often announced on their blog. This can sometimes net you as much as 15Gbs extra for free.
As nice as these sites are for storing free content, sometimes they will automatically remove content if it contains banned or pirated material. Your data will never be as secure as keeping your data on your own private NAS, server or USB Thumb Drive.
Companies like Google or Dropbox can end their service at any time and there goes your data. It's always a good idea to have irreplaceable data like photos or home videos backed up before trusting them to the cloud.
The Roksbox Roku channel makes it easy to access, find and play your files with your Roku.
