This disclosure describes techniques to securely provide access to audio files across desktop and mobile devices. The audio files, e.g., audio recordings that are part of a podcast, are converted to multimedia files of similar filesize. The converted files, which can optionally include a graphic related to the audio, are uploaded to secure, view-only cloud storage and configured for access by selected users, e.g., users within a particular domain. Access to the files is provided by a widget that can enable users to play the audio via any desktop or mobile device that can access the cloud storage service
