Google Drive lets you stream your videos directly from Drive

I recently uploaded some of my videos into Drive for safe keeping, later i noticed that i can actually stream these videos straight from Google Drive.. Cool!

I tried some other formats as well and they all seem to work, it will just take some time for google to convert your videos.

More information about this feature can be found from Google Help

Here is an example, I'm uploading a random_video.mp4 to Drive













After the upload is completed, and you try to open the file, drive will let you now download your file but not stream it. And there is actually a notice about video processing. hmm i didn't notice this earlier, maybe it was added recently?
















It took 34 seconds (i took time) for my video to process and now its ready to roll.



















Good example where cloud storage is heading in the future, battle cannot be won with only prices and bulk storage.

Users want to do much as possible in the cloud for example edit their photos and videos, in  the future maybe everything we need is just a browser!
