Folders to share with other devices and add to PC Library

RealPlayer Cloud will automatically scan watched folders for media files that you've downloaded or copied with a stand-alone browser or other programs. It will then create clips in the Library for all of the new files that are detected. If Device Sharing is enabled, these files will be available to other RealPlayer Cloud applications on your network.
