VLC for iOS gets Google Drive downloads, Dropbox streaming in update

VLC for iOS gets Google Drive downloads, Dropbox streaming in update - On the surface, VideoLAN's VLC for iOS version 2.2.0 gives the media player a new look with multitouch gestures, a revamped interface and a new startup tutorial. Behind the scenes, the app gets a few key functionality tweaks and additions many users have been waiting for.

The most significant of these changes is Google Drive integration and Dropbox streaming.


Unless Dropbox has invested in edge servers a la Akamai, I'm not sure how the streaming would work.
