thumbnail Hands-on with RealPlayer Cloud, the latest attempt at easy video sharing
Sep 25th 2013, 01:00, by Jonathan Seff

RealNetworks—yes, that RealNetworks—thinks it's come up with a better way to help you store, move, and share your personal videos. Dubbed RealPlayer Cloud, the new service launches Tuesday in the U.S. and Canada with free and paid options, and broad support for video formats and devices.

I played around with RealPlayer Cloud ahead of its official launch, and while it's not necessarily a revolutionary service, I can say it worked both easily and well.

How it works

You start by uploading videos, either from your computer via a Web browser or using an iOS or Android app. After that, those videos are available for you to stream or (in many cases) download. You can also choose to share videos by sending an email link to someone, sharing via Facebook, or grabbing a link that you can post or share as you see fit. A recipient doesn't need any special software to watch—videos play on iOS and Android devices, Windows PCs and Macs, and Roku hardware (as well as the Apple TV via AirPlay). And recipients can also download shared files, as can you for offline viewing.

The peanut gallery.
