Dropbox or alternative server?

Can dropbox or other free server be used to store video files for roku channels to save on the transfer fees of access to the videos? Currently using amazon.

Re: Dropbox or alternative server?

Dropbox works if you add the "?dl=1" query variable to the share URL, but you can run up against their daily quota very easily which shuts down your account for a day or two.

Here's a sticky thread that discusses many video hosting options: http://forums.roku.com/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=34726
