Beat for Android supports music playback from Google Drive and Dropbox

If you’ve been looking for a music player for your Android device that lets you play music from your Google Drive and Dropbox, then Beat is worth looking into. The app lets you play back music from both services and provides in-app shortcuts that let you indicate where you store your music internally or on the cloud. It also has a software equalizer if you like tinkering around with the songs you listen to.

Beat also features floating controls over other apps so you can skip songs, go back, play, or pause music without leaving the app you’re using at the moment.
