Cloud Storage/Streaming App for Video?

I am LOVING Google Play Music. I've ignored it for months because I didn't think they would let me upload my entire (or at least 20k songs of) mp3 collection that I have been accumulating for well over 10 years.

Anyway, I am wondering if there is an app that will allow me to do the same thing with my movie collection. I have several movies on my computer (that were purchased legally in DVD and Blu-Ray format of course) that I would like to watch on my Nexus 7 without actually storing them on the device or streaming them from my PC (my PC would have to stay on all the time to do that).

Anyone know of such an app?
 
Careful with drop box - I've heard that they monitor bandwidth and suspend accounts that use too much. Google drive will also supposedly stream video. I read a blog post that said that Gdrive will try to convert video files into mp4 or QuickTime. But when I attempted to stream an .avi file, I think that it stayed as an .avi and not an .mp4. The quality was poor. Also, I was disappointed to find that there was no way to open a subtitle file despite viewing the stream in mxplayer. Can anyone advise. Subscribing to this thread. Thanks, OP. :)
