Not sure if you guys have used this but Ive found it pretty handy for online storage. Called drop box, you get 2Gb free and can upgrade and get more if you need it!

Yea been using dropbox for bout 4 months ish now and find it very useful for posting things on here

Ive got it running on my Iconia and Arc, very helpfull!
I wouldn't recommend Dropdox because of the recent security issues it had ..!
Just trying out Asus web storage, seems good so far and has some very reasonable unlimited packages! A few typos though, they could use a spell check!
I started using SugarSync: 5GB for free
Click on this referral link and you and me will get an additional 500MB resp. 10GB if you sign up for any paid plan.

Hey Everyone,
Im not sure if anyone knows or even remembers hearing this, So I figured i'd let everyone know, Cause I myself had no clue. Doing some searching for 3.5 Skins I came across an article that states ALL Sense 3.5 Devices will be offered 5GB Free on Dropbox, Not sure about anyone else but I use DB all the time. All I did was downloaded the app from the market, Opened it up and signed in. About 3-4mins later I got the email confirm that i was given 3GB for free, which took me right up to 5GB. Not bad at all. This will be given to anyone, even if you dont have an account. So thats it, very simple. Just figured i'd share with anyone who wasnt aware....ENJOY!!!

I currently had.a.dropbox and didn't sign up, and it added 3 gigs to mine...for 12 months. Kinda stupid they take it away lol

I didn't get the e-mail with mine? I installed the app right when got the phone Monday morning.
I restored my DB via Ti, and when I just opened the app, I got the email saying I can get the free 3GB by going to some DB website. But it's not automatic and it looks like I need to complete some sort of BS "quest" to get the space. Whatever, I don't use it anyways, I just have it in case it ever becomes useful for me. I just use FTP for most transfer needs.
Still no luck... Signed in, or not.
Really? Man all I did was sign in. Actually I signed In thru the browser. Literally 5mins layer I got the email. Sign In thru yur browser and see if it give you any prompts to get the extra space. Worth a shot

Just signed in with the HTC Browser, so let's see.
I just go the email, it's their whole "getting started" thing where they pretty much want you to install drop box clients on every device you own.
I now have 5.5GB for free. Too bad I never really use dropbox because i have sftp/ssh setup on my linux box.
I have had Dropbox for a while, maybe this is why. I still haven't gotten an e-mail.
Thanks, 3GB extra credited today, my email had gone unread for a few weeks but was still okay to click and get the extra. I have the HTC HD2 with windows 6.5 and bootable Android on my SD card.
Thanks for the heads up as well though I'm late. Got my extra 3gigs today. Will come in real handy....
Just got my 3GB! Thanks
I know that we can't post wares here,but if you google it, they have a hacked APK where you get 23 gigs fo free. It was in general for a while, and got removed from xda.

HTC and dropbox said they were cracking down on that and would remove the storage from anyone who used it also just use a sense 4 rom that should do the trick without it being noticed by HTC

I've heard people who would be using Dropbox from SGS III will be getting free 50GB dropbox storage.
Can anyone come out with some app showing dropbox tht we've logged in through Galaxy S3??? Something like that???

What's the purpose of this if one doesn't have truly unlimited data? If everywhere i go i need to stream crap, I'm going to max my data plan well before the month is out. I know wifi is different, but it still sounds like a pain in the ass. Am i missing something?

But the service will only be valid for a period of 24 months maximum

2 years is a very good amount of time, I am only at 10gb and trying not to use it all.

What does this have to do with streaming?

Yeah, i have an account. I guess i was more or less thinking this was some sort of solution or compromise for not including an sd card slot. I should have said downloading, not streaming, my bad. I was probably just looking at it from the wrong angle.
Edit: I was probably more confused than I originally thought. I thought the S3 wasn't going to have an SD card slot. It's hell getting old...

No issues here. Have you tried getting it with one-click from the web site?

Did your dad delete his credit card from the Amazon account?
I kid, I kid... <-- get it I kid.... never mind slow day at work I guess.
I stopped using Amazons App Store when I found out they stole the name from Apple. Actually it was when all the free apps turned lame..
No doubt about the lame part. They used to have utilities and stuff (functional stuff that is). Now it is almost all crappy games with privacy concerns and horrific ratings. Every once in a while a decent game is listed, but not very often. There was a run on to-do lists. 'Cause having 50 to-do lists is pretty efficient right?
with the internal SD being 16 gigs and 11 usable, how is it partioned? for example, those 5 gigs between 16 and 11 are set aside for system, rom, apps etc right? (it's probably like 3-4 gigs since it's not fully 16gb..)
i only ask because i can't figure out where my storage is going. i plugged into pc, and highlighed everything on my internal storage, and its only 6 gigs. i've got 3 gigs free it says, so that's 9 gigs. where are those last 2 gigs? i can't figure it out.
Yea it's kinda weird. Also have you noticed that in settings/apps/running it shows the ram at whatever you have left out of 1.5gb instead of it being out of 2gb just like the original dna specs were saying it was.
Sent from my 5 Senses of DNA
It breaks down to 12gb for /data, 1.9gb for /system, 700mb for /cache, 10mb for radio_config, 17mb for recovery, 18mb for boot, 2mb for misc, 2mb for local, 50mb for radio, 100mb for reserve, 20mb for devlog, and the rest is for other partions. If you want to view how it breaks down, look at /proc/emmc and read the hex values. :good:

Initially this was a problem for me. It was either the DNA or the Note II. The fact is that we are moving to a cloud environment in all aspects of IT, even mobile phones.
All of my videos, television, music, and lectures are in the cloud. There is no real need for me to have a 64GB phone, or an SD slot. The idea is that we would migrate our multimedia fix to the cloud.. and our devices would become less expensive because of the lack of required storage.
To date, after 3 weeks of having the DNA... I haven't skipped a beat. All of my music is cloud based, my camera is linked to dropbox - automatically uploading pictures and video as I take them. And my movies and television are of course, online.
So how much storage do we really need then? And why is it then a real issue?

i mean, idc about that since i'm still unlimited and won't ever upgrade until they decide to take it from me.
however, i hate google music. the app is god awful, and it just defies all common sense. htc's built in music player is so much better.

This is where we get screwed. Verizon and HTC want us to use cloud services...which use data. But then they want to cap it. This is why I will always carry a separate iPod from my phone...

I think everyone with a small/capped storage should get unlimited data!

I too would like an expandable memory, but at the end of they day if you REALLY need it you can always buy a USB memory card reader and plug it into the bottom of the phone, no?
What happened to WiFi then? There are millions of hotspots around the country. I use them as needed. My data usage hovers under a gig each month no matter where I go.
Why spend a premium on data plans when we have WiFi?

15mbs down
2-3mbs up.
But that's the limits of my hard line to my Wi-Fi in my house.
30-35 down
6-7 up
On 4g at my house.

And that's exactly my point. I have 75MB down and 15MB up at home, OC3 at the office, and last I heard - 4G isn't as fast as that; it certainly isn't as fast as G.. Secondary to that, why waste money on a trumped up throttled and limited data plan when WiFi is readily available EVERYWHERE?
I dunno, I hear complaining where there doesn't need to be. And as far as I'm concerned, Mazel Tov to everyone who wants to waste their hard earned cash and pad VZW's wallet. (Not gonna be me though).

That's cool, I don't blame you a bit with Wi-Fi like that. I also have unlimited data, so it doesn't bother me at all to use data.
I was also answering a question that wasn't asked by you. And where was I complaining?
Since some of us are s-off, i think we can actually repartition our intertnal memory.
Gnex also had 16gb memory, but it had 13 gb memory for user. We could do with those additional 2 gb
Maybe some dev can look into that. My 2 cents.

Hey fam, u guys familiar with DROPBOX? Just found something better @ "Copy"... "Copy" is a new cloud-based service provider kinda like Dropbox but with BETTER features. You get 15 GB with the sign up ( vs dropbox 2GB) and each time someone u refer joins copy, u both get 5GB extra ( vs 500MB dropbox) . If you want to headstart with 20 GB , follow this link link removedhttps://copy.com?r=Aex6gq . This is the best competitor to Dropbox or any other cloud companies. TRUST ME!
EDIT: After registering, please make sure to check ur email for verification purposes and download the app frm the market. ENJOY!!

Barracuda Networks is huge! I believe they were the first cloud storage company at least 15+ years ago CARBONITE. They also have one if the best antivirus server backbone systems next to TrendMicro.
Good find!
