![]() Whether people really want another video sharing service remains to be seen, especially from a company whose overbearing software efforts in the early 2000s put people off in their droves. The service looks like an excellent alternative to uploading videos to Dropbox or Facebook for sharing with friends and family, as a private version of YouTube without the hassle of having to configure sharing and privacy features. Users can also plug into RealPlayer’s legacy features, including the ability to download YouTube videos and upload them to the Cloud for later private or offline viewing. If you recommend a friend and they sign up, both you and your friend get another free gigabyte of storage,” explained Glaser. “We’ve taken a page out of Dropbox’s playbook, starting with 2GB of free storage for everyone. Earlier, I was able to download videos using the RealPlayer software. The 'download this video' icon appears and if I click on it to download my favorite video, it says 'unable to download'. RealPlayer Cloud allows easy sharing of unlimited length video both privately between friends and family or publicly via Twitter or Facebook. I recently installed RealPlayer software SP. Links to the videos can be sent directly from the smartphone apps via text message or any other communication service the smartphone, tablet or computer has access to including Twitter and Facebook. Videos can also be played or uploaded through the RealPlayer Cloud site, removing the need for a dedicated app and making it easier to send video to non-RealPlayer users. Glaser said that his aim is to have RealPlayer Cloud available on every device out there, including smart TVs, for “frustration free viewing no matter what device you have.” The service is accessible through apps for the iPhone, iPad, Android, Kindle Fire and Windows, plus via Google’s Chromecast or the Roku media streaming box connected to a TV. Localised versions in English, French, German and Spanish, with Italian, Japanese, Korean and Portuguese will follow soon. RealPlayer Cloud was launched in North America five months ago, gaining 500,000 users already, but is now launching globally at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. ‘Frustration-free viewing no matter what device’ The founder and interim chief executive of RealNetworks returned to the company a year and half ago to reinvent the business. Versions in Italian, Japanese, Korean and Portuguese are coming soon.“Hit the button and it just works – we do all the transcoding, transmuxing, balancing of bitrate and bandwidth for you in the background, so whatever device you're viewing the content on the video just magically works,” Rob Glaser told the Guardian. Moving out of the US and Canada, the app is now available for the UK, France, Germany and Spanish-speaking countries. RealPlayer Cloud offers 2 gigabytes of cloud storage for free, and for data-hungry users, offers an additional storage starting at $4.99 a month. There have been a lot of apps and services for syncing photos, but RealPlayer is hoping its encoding and quick storage makes for an enticing option for customers who need to move their videos around easily. “Clearly there is a real need and demand for RealPlayer Cloud, which is essentially Dropbox for videos.” In just five short months, we’ve experienced extensive user growth and now have more than 500,000 users in the US and Canada,” said Rob Glaser, founder and interim CEO of RealNetworks. “We’re excited to bring RealPlayer Cloud to consumers worldwide.
