What is the Google Cloud Player?

Google Cloud (Cloud “Torrent”) is a revolutionary new way to exchange movies with the power of Google's Infrastructure. Think of Google Cloud as a cloud torrent in which the cloud system uploads the file to the Cloud with many copies and different links. Every viewer gets a unique link to the cloud source, where he/she can watch the movie.

Those unique links have also the ability to expire at any time, so it's not possible to correctly identify the source file, as takedown notice suggests. This prevents the files from being removed by DCMA bots and has many distinct advantages.

Of those who had used PopcornTime Player and GoogleCloud Player, the majority preferred the GoogleCloud Player. The new player has many specific advantages over many other competitors, as highlighted below:

Who should use Google Cloud?

You should use Google Cloud if:

  1. You want the highest level of security and safety. Unlike a traditional torrent, Google Cloud does not log or share your IP address with other users. The list of mirrors are encrypted, and the files are downloaded through Google directly, which has a built-in antivirus scanner. Only the direct file (MP4, MKV, AVI, etc) file can be shared through Google Cloud Player, so no viruses can possibly be downloaded through Google Cloud. Torrents are prone to spreading viruses, bloatware, malware, and fake files, and PopcornTime often downloads bloat.

  2. You want to conserve bandwidth and desire super-fast speed. In many countries, the upload speeds are significantly slower than download speeds. Google Cloud ditches the traditional seeder and leecher system and leaves Google to do the dirty work, and they have so much bandwidth that the speed is nearly limitless. Download at the fastest possible speed even during periods of high demand. Seeders only need to choose the Google Cloud Player instead of the built in one, you can do so by clicking the allocated icon on the 'Watch' button. A list of your installed player will be shown, select Google Cloud and Popcorn Time will send everything to it, and no other setting is needed. No more upload ratios!

  3. You want to stream the Google Cloud instantly across multiple platforms. While there are ways to stream Google Cloud from torrents, it is often very difficult, very restrictive, and requires special software. Video2k.is website allows instant streaming from Google Cloud using the new HTML5 player. This ensures compatibility with all mobile devices and many gaming services, including the Xbox and Playstation browsers, but PopcornTime must be used within the software.

  4. You want the most convenience and ease-of-use. As Android and Apple teach us, appearance and convenience matter. While Video2k’s layout may not win the best-website-of-the-year award, it certainly looks modern and is extremely easy to use across all browsers. You just search for a movie, click on it, and click on the specific video file that you would like. It’s honestly that simple.

 

Google Cloud FAQ

  • Should I use any sort of internet protection while using Google Cloud?
    It is nearly impossible for an Internet Service Provider to know that you are streaming movies through Google. That being said, according to http://www.pcworld.com/article/2973556/streaming-media/popcorn-time-users-are-now-getting-sued-by-the-movie-industry.html, Tens of thousands of Popcorn Time movie streamers are now getting sued by the movie industry. These users should be safe with the built-in Google Cloud Player. At Popcorn Time Community, we put security first!

  • Why was this project created?
    It was originally created as a proof of concept, but it became a large project as the MPAA surprisingly shut down yts.to and popcorntime.io at the same time. This project shall continue as far as we have the support and community for it.
