Can I upload my own movies to the new Apple TV

I want to watch my own movies on the Apple TV, not just ones i get from the iTunes Store. It would also be fine if DropBox worked on the new Apple TV. Does it? Is there a list anywhere, where In can see the available apps for the new Apple TV?


Thank you.

At the moment, there is no DropBox app for the Apple TV. To watch your own movies, you would them in iTunes and stream them to the Apple TV. There are other options, like Plex. Just no DropBox.


And there's no place (apart from on the Apple TV itself) to see what apps are available, but that's likely to change - if Apple doesn't build something, someone else will.

Put your movies into iTunes on a home computer and then use home sharing to stream to Apple TV or Plex as suggested. With Dropbox you'd have to upload everything to the cloud and then stream it back down again which doesn't seem like the most efficient solution but then again my ISP has a data cap. Yours may not.
