And I'm not sure why you'd be uploading stuff to Google Drive yet not taking advantage of Google's free, music-focused storage that lets you store 50,000 songs for free. The main hook here would seem to be for Dropbox users if you've got music stored in OneDrive, you're probably listening to it with Xbox Music. You could listen to uploaded files through the individual, official apps for all of these services, but CloudPlayer can pull from all of them simultaneously. The veteran Android developer has released an app called CloudPlayer which, as its title suggests, will play back albums and tracks you've uploaded to Dropbox, OneDrive, and Google Drive.
What to choose - VOX Cloud or Dropbox - the decision is up to you.If you're not a fan of popular subscription-based apps like Spotify, Rdio, and Google Play Music, DoubleTwist has a new option for streaming music you've got stored in other cloud services. Radio that hosts over 3,000 stations worldwide.SoundCloud integration, and the feed from the people you follow on SoundCloud can be accessed freely.In the end of this feature battle, we want to mention some great perks VOX Premium can provide. If you’re a music recording studio, and you have, say, 6 Macs, 2 Apple Watches and 11 iPhones, how do you get access to the same music on all of them? VOX Cloud can be the easiest solution. There are no limits to the number of devices you can link to your Dropbox account.
To use VOX Premium with advanced audio features, you have to sign up for VOX account, then download VOX Player for Mac and VOX Player for iPhone to sync music between them and listen to it freely on these devices. To use Dropbox one must have Dropbox account. Android and Windows support is to launch later on this year. While using cloud for streaming music through VOX Music Player for Mac, it is possible to connect to Sonos audio devices.
VOX Premium with cloud features provides UNLIMITED storage during a variety of subscription plans with the same unlimited storage: $89.99 two-year subscription price, $49.99 annual subscription price, $4.99 monthly price.ĭropbox runs on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux operating systems. That can be done only till you rich 16GB, though. Free 500MB of additional storage can be gained by inviting friends to start using Dropbox. This will provide you with 1TB of storage. So, FLACs stay FLACs.Īs we mentioned above, Dropbox basic version is free, but there is a Pro version that costs $9.99/month or $99.99/year. It matches only the songs of the original quality. Whatever files you upload into it, that’s what you’ll be able to download later in the exact same quality.
Audio formats supported but played after downloading only in Loop (not streaming): it, mod, m4b, s3m, ay, mo3.ĭropbox works like a mirror. It will, however, accept any of the following file formats in unlimited amounts: aif, aiff, ape, alac, aac, m4a, mp4, caf, flac, mp1, mp2, mp3, mpc, sd2, vorbis ogg, spx, tta, wav, wma. VOX Cloud won’t accept your wedding videos or the research paper you wrote in your freshman year. There is no player (so far) connected to Dropbox that streams music from the cloud directly to the headphones or speakers. However, an audiophile interested in keeping music in cloud has no way to listen to it through cloud directly.
We mean not only all types of music files, but ALL possible files, Word document or MP4 video.
Hence, you get much more than even 1TB! It can be 250,000 songs or 2,500,000 full quality FLAC songs and even MORE, there is no edge for the true audiophile’s music in cloud.ĭropbox accepts all file formats.
VOX Cloud (previously called LOOP ) stores the UNLIMITED amount of music.
You can upgrade to Dropbox Pro which is 1TB worth of. 2GB are given to you free of charge from the very beginning. CAPACITYĭropbox capacity depends on your budget. VOX Cloud turns out to be a worthy rival of Dropbox as the solution designed specifically for music. But for the experienced audiophile 2GB is worth about 20 songs in Hi-Res quality. It’s free to use if 2GB storage is enough for you. Not many can compete with Dropbox in terms of its convenience as a cloud storage for all sorts of files - documents, movies, music, etc. Also, those who don’t have email or Facebook and never received any invites to join Dropbox (which is quite impossible). Who doesn’t know about Dropbox? Maybe, only those who never used the Internet.
