DropBox is a cloud database platform in which individual users and business enterprises store their data online to access them on different devices. This is similar to Google Drive, but the service was present long before Google Drive took place. You can store, share and collaborate with your saved projects, and access media files in a group. The platform is available on different devices like Android, iOS, and in computers. If you like to view your Dropbox content on your Roku screen, then follow some of the alternative steps.
