If you use Engine DJ gear (Denon DJ's Prime series, Rane System One, Numark Mixstream Pro/Pro Go), you've probably wondered whether you can ditch the USB drive and just stream your music from the cloud. Engine DJ's Dropbox integration lets you do exactly that (well...sort of).

This video tutorial walks you through how it all works, how to set it up, and how it stacks up against Rekordbox's CloudDirectPlay and VirtualDJ's cloud option. Spoiler: it's free, it's useful in the right situation, but it's not a replacement for your USB drive just yet.
