Hey all,

Creator here. The entire app is free this weekend. This includes in-app purchase to remove limits.

Would love if it allowed stream playing, no downloads. That is a feature that should be built in on the Google Drive app, but isn't.

Hi Maciej, Does this allow offline playing mode?

Very nice app. Lovely interface and easy to use. I think this will replace the app I've previously used. I would request a feature to browse music by folder structure as is in dropbox. I use dropbox/drive to store song collections, but not strictly albums.

Also I was looking for a nice app to browse dlna/mpd library on my network and something that works like this would be perfect. Although I acknowledge that would bring your project off in a totally different direction!

Good work and thanks for the special free offer!

What is a typical situation for someone storing music in Dropbox/Mega/Google Drive? What is used to play the music on the Desktop.

Looking forward to trying this out though. I currently use iTunes Match but really enjoy Dropbox for photos. If this is as robust as it looks, and I could find a filesystem based music player that works as nicely as iTunes, then it'd be under consideration for longterm use

There are a lot of different use cases. For me personally i upload audio files that arent available on streaming services suchs as Spotify or rdio. Then i am able to stream/download them in the app. To play the songs on my laptop/desktop i just set the Dropbox/Drive folder as a music folder with Spotify.

Hi,

App looks really cool. I'm loading some music up in Dropbox to try it.

But first, I see music coming up that I don't believe I have anywhere -- John Lennon, Bob Marley, etc. It's not in my iTunes library or Dropbox. What's going on?

Hey first thanks so much for downloading the app. I really appreciate it! If the app is importing music that you didn't know you had then those songs must be in a hidden/obscure folder. Either that or some songs aren't tagged incorrectly. The app tries to read id3 tags for every song. If they are set incorrectly, then that could be your issue.

Any plans of adding S3 support. Would be great for uploading a larger library. This paired with something like ArqBackup could auto upload your library to S3.

Great app! I sent you a feature request in-app about adding another cloud service, hope you got it and consider it! Thanks!
