Your Google Drive, as a library on Android TV
Keep movies and shows in Google Drive? Cinaura connects to it and turns those files into a proper library on your TV, with posters, metadata and a calm interface, instead of a file list.
Download Cinaura from the Google Play Store onto your Android TV. No server and no setup wizard. It is running in about two minutes.
Add Google Drive as a source using your own OAuth credentials. Scan the QR code with your phone, sign in to Google once, and your Drive is linked. Your files stay yours.
Cinaura scans your Drive, identifies your videos, and fetches posters, backdrops and metadata, presenting them as a clean library you can browse and keep.
Google Drive uses a bring-your-own-OAuth setup: a free, one-time Google Cloud project so you connect with your own credentials. It takes a couple of extra minutes and keeps you off Google's shared verification limits, so your access stays reliable and private. The guide walks you through every step.

Playing videos straight from Google Drive usually means scrolling a folder of file names. Cinaura treats your Drive content as a collection: it groups franchises and seasons, fetches artwork and details, and remembers where you left off, so your TV feels less like a file browser and more like your own streaming service.
Not just Google Drive
Cinaura also works with Dropbox, RealDebrid, TorBox, AllDebrid and Premiumize, plus your NAS, all merged into a single library. Sources are replaceable. Your library stays.

Common questions
How do I play Google Drive videos on Android TV?
Install Cinaura from Google Play, add Google Drive as a source, and sign in once by scanning a QR code with your phone. Cinaura organises the videos in your Drive into a browsable library with full metadata, and no server is required.
Why does Google Drive need my own OAuth credentials?
Google requires apps that access Drive to use verified credentials, or they hit a low user cap. Bring-your-own-OAuth means you create a free Google Cloud project and connect Cinaura with your own credentials, which keeps your access reliable and private. It is a one-time setup of a few minutes, and the documentation walks you through it.
Does Cinaura host or provide any content?
No. Cinaura is a media library app. It doesn't host, provide, recommend or download content. It connects to the sources you already have, like your Google Drive, and presents what is there.
What other sources does Cinaura support?
Alongside Google Drive, Cinaura supports Dropbox, debrid services (RealDebrid, TorBox, AllDebrid, Premiumize) and network shares (SMB, WebDAV), all in one library.
