RealPlayer Cloud — your personal video collection in the cloud

RealPlayer Cloud lets you store and organize videos online so they’re available from any device. With a free account you can upload clips, stream them on phones or PCs, share them with others, and download them when needed. The service also highlights popular web videos and recent posts from friends to help you find trending content.

Storage limits and how to expand your space

  • New users start with 2 GB of cloud storage at no cost.
  • You can increase that allocation by inviting friends: each successful referral adds 1 GB.
  • There are extra small bonuses — for example, the first video you upload and every newly connected device can earn an additional 250 MB — up to a total cap (the app limits expansions beyond the starter allowance).

Core capabilities at a glance

  • Support for a wide range of common video file types when you upload content.
  • The ability to record a new video directly and immediately push it to your cloud library.
  • Options to download stored videos back to a local computer whenever you need them.
  • Cloud-stored files are playable on PCs, tablets and smartphones with adaptive resolution for smooth playback.
  • Multiple sharing methods so you can send videos to others or place them on social sites.
  • Quick access to popular web clips (Top 5 lists from major portals) to help you discover trending material.
  • A dedicated section that collects clips you’ve shared and another that tracks videos your friends have recently posted (when you’re signed in to social accounts).

File types the service accepts

  • MP4, MOV, and AVI
  • FLV, XVID, and DIVX
  • WMV

Ways to share and distribute videos

  • Generate a shareable link to send to anyone.
  • Post directly to Facebook from the app.
  • Email a clip or its link to contacts.

Each shared item is tracked in a dedicated sharing list for easy management.

Safety and installation notes

RealNetworks applies security measures to help keep the software free of malware. Occasionally your browser may display a routine security alert when downloading software — that’s a generic warning meant to flag potential risk rather than confirm the presence of threats. Overall, the RealPlayer installer and downloader are generally regarded as safe when obtained from official sources.

Free vs. paid options

  • Paid tiers provide additional features and expanded storage beyond the free plan’s limits.
  • The free edition includes the basic cloud library, upload/playback capabilities, sharing tools and the starter storage allotment.

If you need larger capacity or premium tools, upgrading is the way to unlock those extras.

Interface, navigation, and visual design

The app uses a clean, minimal layout that emphasizes thumbnails for quick identification. The main navigation gives fast access to each area of the service:

  • Collections
  • Web Videos
  • Sharing
  • My Videos

Thumbnails are prominently displayed so it’s easy to browse and recognize content at a glance.

Final impressions

RealPlayer Cloud is a straightforward solution for building a personal online video library. The free 2 GB allotment is modest but the interface is user-friendly and visually focused, making uploads, playback, downloads and sharing simple. It’s a handy option for anyone who wants their videos accessible across devices while also discovering popular clips from the web and friends.
