Stream music from the Dropbox without downloading
In this practical tip, we will show you how you can stream music from the Dropbox without downloading it.
Stream music from the Dropbox without downloading
Usually you need to download a music file stored online in the Dropbox before you can play it. With the free web app Droptunes, you can also stream your selected music directly. Proceed as follows:
- Open the Droptunes website.
- Then click on the blue button labeled "Go to the Web App".
- If you have not yet registered, log in to the Dropbox authorization website that opens with your access data. The app now lists all MP3 music files from your Dropbox. Select a file you want to stream.
- Show additional audio formats, such as M4A or WAV Mode, via the top menu bar.
- Select a file from the list that you want to stream.
- If your selected music does not play and the error message "Problem playing audio" appears, then the "Adobe Flash plug-in" is not installed on your mobile device. Retrieve this installation or alternatively click on the "Try the HTML5 version" link.
