I have home videos on a dropbox acct that would like to access with my newly bought and currently shipping atv2. I am willing to download them locally to a soon to be attached hard drive to my new time capsule (building a home system is exciting!) . I will be jailbrekaing atv2 and want to know best strategies for accessing dropbox files via atv2 if possible
Thanks

If you buy aTV Flash, you can access all your files on your time capsule or computer. I find it very convenient to use this rather than using XBMC and some other add-ons. It will look somewhat like this

Correct, if your Dropbox file are share on the network, ATvFlash will read them.

however if you want to save some green but want to work on your setup a bit more, XBMC will do it for free, or Plex is an option as well.
