Hosting for video files
Hello. I am new to the forum and to Roku development. I had a question about hosting video files for the Roku channel. What services can I use? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Whatever you do, don't use a Dropbox FREE account to host files.They will suspend activity if you reach 10GB of bandwidth in a day (the cap for paid accounts is 250GB/day.)
Thanks for that update. I saw you were using Dropbox while your channel was private, and started looking at Dropbox's TOS myself. My one client (friend) wanted to stream his YouTube band channel via the Roku. In fact, I referred him to you after I would not be able to deliver. YouTube's TOS nixed that idea. We even looked at Amazon S3 and even that would put him over budget.
As mentioned in the other posts, Amazon S3 is what I have been recommending to a few small clients if they can afford it.
Please continue to post your findings on low cost providers. I have a few "starving artists" waiting.
