I just tried it on my Telus Optimus One running CM7. Created a box account and it instantly gave me 50 GB of storage. It's not even a phone I use day to day but because I owned something LG, I was able to get the offer.
I presume this will work on all LG Androids... every Optimus that exists and runs 2.1 or above.
Worked for me. It's a pity that there is no desktop sync...

You can mount box.net as a network drive.

or you can use netdrive free for home users. http://www.netdrive.net/download.html
Thanks. I'll try. If it works, it would be perfect.

Thanks for sharing dude..
I get 50GB storage with Box.
Ok, so I made the file changes, installed, reinstalled the original file and rebooted. Everything seemed to work fine for a while.
Now I'm having problems and I'm nitty sure if this is related? I haven't made any other changes, so this is my starting point....
Since the change/change back, I'm getting motorola.service errors and exchange contacts won't sync.
Could this be related?

No, it should work on correctly configured custom ROMs as well ... I successfully got the account upgrade with Box on GingerDX (v021).

Dropbox is the most preferred option.
I personally use Box as it gave me lifetime 50GB storage, it runs sweet on my SGS2 & I use it every day. The only 1 issue I have is the upload limit, so it can take a few minutes to upload large files. But that is something I can happily live with, or I can upgrade for a few pounds & then the limits are removed. So my point is use whatever you feel suits you best, not somebody else

Box as they give me 50gb lifetime storage. They do limit upload speeds & file sizes but if you pay for upgrade the limits are removed. Its very cheap too considering what you get for your pound notes

Hand down Dropbox because I can sync it with titanium backup ADIE and my computer.
I only have 10GB on Dropbox, but more and more app are adding Dropbox interrogation and right now that's more useful then 45gb of space I have nothing to do with.

There's Box integration in TiBu now, by the way.
I would say dropbox is the more popular one out of the 2.
Here is a guide to help you get more space out of dropbox http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1520930
I use Dropbox because I can run it on Windows, GNU/Linux and my cellphone. Not sure if the other app mentioned in the OP can do that, but Dropbox does with without much of a problem..
I like DropBox for the seamless synchronization - I always know that I am working on the latest version of a file without having to manually download it. At least the way that I have things set up, Dropbox feels a lot more like an extension of my existing storage rather than a separate storage space.
I tried box some time ago, but i found the maximum file size very annoying. None of that with dropbox.

I started using Box since the free 50GB promo. Titanium allows you to backup with box so now I can have all my apps backed up and still have plenty of space left.

I use both. Normally prefering Dropbox but mobile version are light years behind desktop version. In principle mobile version is not usable.

Give Dropsync a try - truly makes dropbox as seamless on mobile as it is on the desktop.
I personally use both. I use Box to keep a backup of, like, everything. I use Dropbox for sharing files since it's so easy. Share a link, person clicks on link, file automatically downloads.
I prefer Dropbox. The only reason is that there is upload limit and bandwidth limit in box.
Above all, I would rather prefer minus which gives upto 50 GB extended space with no upload and bandwidth limits!
Hi guys,

Or he can just deal with the Box storage . There's nothing wrong with it, and titanium backup can upload your backups directly to it.
It works like a charm for me, and it's free.
Edit: haha, didnt notice your market link was for Box, sorry :screwy:

Maybe it's been asked that's great and all but I haven't found a solution that's worked yet.
How can I transfer files from phone to pc and vice versa. I used HTC sync I think it's called and it didn't work when I tried it. Thanks.

Enable usb debugging on your phone on developer options in settings! Go to my computer double click on ur device then drag and drop the file into the folder you want it to be on your phone. Hope I helped and you get it to work. If you still can't get it or need to see it be done try YouTube !

A great way to automatically sync files is DroSync on app store. It syncs any folder on your phone with any Dropbox folder.

Hello everybody
Am from galaxy mini forum..
I have been using this website (heaven) for over a year..
I have rooted nearly 20-30 devices with the help of xda..
Now i myself want to do something for the members of xda..
°°~~I want to develop android from the source, but i don't have stable Internet connection, i tether my Mobile's net with laptop
Is it possible to offline install the android sources? °°~~
Help me..
Thanks in advance
@Faiyaz5yaz What do you mean offline install? The sources are online so one way or other you're gonna have to get them off the web and onto your computer. The only other option is using a build server, if you have access to one. How unstable is your connection? when you sync the sources, you can stop it and start again from where you left off whenever you want, you don't have to do it in one go.
@HTCDreamOn i mistyped it.. I mean i hav limited Internet connection.. I can't download 30+ gb source file.. Is it possible to port from my friends pc to mine? Syncing is not a prob i can do it

Well as I said you could still sync it in stages, although if you're limited to 500MB a month or something then it'll take years. You can only use a friends source if its the same device... Otherwise you could always copy it over, then create a new directory and use the repo init -reference command to use the existing files, then you'd have to download far less.
Thanks for your reply Man
So , u mean that I can download source files for my galaxy mini on my friends PC and later just copy it ?

Well you just sync all the sources into one directory, so if you're saying your friend doesn't mind downloading 10GB+ of stuff and you don't mind transferring 10GB of stuff over somehow, then yeah that should work fine.
Yeah he will ..and I have a 32gb flash drive ..
That would b enough right?
