If you are going to sign up for a new account with drop box, please do so through a referral link someone else posts. This will allow others to build larger drive space without paying for it. Those attaching referral links to this post, please remove your link once you have maxed out your free referral account expansion at 8GB.
My referral link: http://db.tt/gkcqDGa
(i just need a few more people and I will be maxed out.)
(in order for someone to get credit for your referral, you have to setup a new account, download the program to a new pc and register it. This is FREE for the first 2GB and up to an additional 8GB with referrals (10GB total). You get 250mb for each referral.)
Drop box creates a folder on your pc that automatically synchronizes with a virtual drive on Dropbox cloud server. Then this server file makes itself accessible through any location you log into the dropbox website or any mobile device that you have the app installed on. This is a very easy way to keep files ready on a cloud server or sideload apps. You can also store roms, backups from titanium backup and much more on this "virtual thumbdrive" type server. Another feature is sharing your account with friends. This allows your shared files to be accessed by anyone you specify. You can also make it to where they can now add or remove files from the shared folder. I personally use a folder to share family photos with my extended family. This way they can easily log in and download the images or they will automatically sync with their pc.
Thanks Albert, great idea, and great videos!

I have a question regarding installing an application from Dropbox. When you open Drobox on your NT, do you just double tap the apk file from Dropbox or do you have to actually move the file onto the NT and then open it?

I can't speak for the NT, as mine is still on its way, but on the NC, if I hold the selection I get the option to "open" the .apk. That then initiates the installer.
You do have the option to download, though, if you want to.

Dropbox is indispensable. If you don't already have it, here's my referral: http://db.tt/iYbt0DD
What a great idea! I still have a lot of referrals before I max out... any help will be GREATLY appreciated.
I definitely could not agree more.
Dropbox helps you sync your most important files to any computer/smartphone/tablet in the world. It truly is phenomenal. Dropbox can be used in combination with Titanium Backup to backup all of your apps to the cloud. You can access dropbox from your web browser. You can share folders with others (I personally find this the most helpful, I use it for classes constantly)
Here's my referral link if anyone is interested:

If you use a *.edu address, you get double referral credit. 500MB per referral instead of 256!

Keep in mind if you are a student to register yourself as one, it's some extra steps but it really gives you more space!
I could use some more referrals, too. Appreciate it!

Dang, I could really use some referrals too, if anyone hasn't signed up yet (though I suspect just about everyone has): Mod edit
Much obliged if anyone signs up, it's greatly appreciated.

So then:
New to the Prime, like it so far, not in love with it, but it's pretty good.
2 qns please:
a) I have a desire HD and like the apps you can put on the screen under ICS, but don't know how to do it on this one, e.g. a twitter feed etc. Is it possible to do? It is a right click and hold down on my phone!
b) I have dropbox and was hoping there was some way of syncing files from my computer to a part of my SD card - just work files, so I can leave my work laptop and move onto this. Is there a sensible solution to this?
Am hoping both of these are solvable, please put me out of my misery!
Thanks
A) Ice Cream Sandwich changed the way you add widgets to your homescreens. Instead of long-pressing on the home screen, they're in their own section in the app list. Bring up the app list and you'll see a section for widgets at the top that you can scroll through.
Are you asking if dropbox works? Yes it does.
B) put your files in dropbox.... done works perfect
if you favorite something on your TFP's dropbox app, it has it always downloaded. Not sure how often or if at all it downloads the latest version, but that's waht the features says it does. Also, if you won't have internet, tap an item once to download it to your dropbox cache and after that it'll be saved on your prime so you wont need internet to access those specific files from your device.
ps i'm rocking the same TFP/DHD combo and i'm loving it

I have dropbox working (the app), but am wondering if there's a "deeper" setting more akin to the PC where I can sync and monitor folders rather than be able to passively log in and select which file I want to download/view?
I work in education and as such have about 5 gig of work files I could do with on my computer, mainly lesson plans, resources etc. The original idea is that I sync my (non asus transformer) laptop with my computer at home so any files I have automatically are the latest version; e.g. a lesson plan I update during every lesson, so when I am home I can carry on working on it, as it has downloaded the latest version automatically.
Then in my head I would extend this to include my transformer prime, where it stores the latest version of a lot of files and updates with dropbox so I can use my prime as my primary laptop for work use...
I hope that clarifies it a little?
and thanks to everyone who has taken the time to post - it's very kind of you.

As nhshah said, if you favorite something, it will stay synced to the most recent updated version. The only thing I can not find an answer for is if it automatically updates the file to your computer also.
I get what you are looking for, basically she wants dropbox to run as if her TFP was a desktop/laptop computer where it automatically syncs as the file is updated. Unfortunately, dropbox has limited the due to saving data and battery.
600 MB additional free storage
Hi all
Just found a smart way to increase your Dropbox account with 600 MB:
1 Sign into your existing Dropbox account (or create a new account)
2 Goto https://www.dropbox.com/free
3 Follow instructions ... and voila 600 MB additional free storage
Old news.. you can pretty much do this stuff from within Dropbox web interface to increase storage space. It not new offers.
Also as much as I love DB some of those items are pretty invasive as you give them certain control if your account to post stuff as they want on your behalf... pass
If you don't have Dropbox account CLICK HERE to open one and get initial 2.25GB* free instead of 2GB you would normally get without referral.
*must download and install dropbox client to pc for bonus to show.
**completing 'get started' will get you another 250MB for a total of 2.5GB shortly after registering
Now for the rest that do:
"Hi everyone!
Even though the holidays have passed, we're really stoked to give you guys one more present -- a new experimental release! Under the wrapping you'll find a bunch of new toys, including a brand new Camera Upload feature. Here are the release notes:
• Automatically uploads photos and videos in the background using Wi-Fi or data plan
• 500MB of free space on first photo uploaded automatically
• Upload files of any size (no more 180 MB limit!)
• Support for resuming file uploads when there are network issues
• Various performance improvements & bug fixes
During this beta period, we are also offering additional free space to test automatic uploading of photos and videos. For every 500MB of photos and videos automatically uploaded, you'll receive another 500MB space bonus, up to 5GB total (including the initial 500MB space).
[Update: this space is not separate from 5GB given for uploading on our desktop clients. Uploading from either desktop clients or Android app will count towards the same 5GB free space.]
Grab the APK directly from here:

"Hello Forum users!
Another day another build. We're trying to snipe all the most common bugs. Keep plugging in those cameras!
During this beta period, we are also offering additional free space to test automatic uploading of photos and videos. For every 500MB of photos and videos automatically uploaded, you'll receive another 500MB space bonus, up to 4.5GB total. [Update: To clarify, you can get up to 5GB of free space with this feature, if you count the initial 500MB space for the first photo import].

Cleanup UI in Windows non admin installation.
Fix infinite restart of Dropbox when database was corrupted.
Fix import error on iPhone with lots and lots of photos.
Better Handling of out of quota issues on first photo import.
Other small fixes
1.3 Features
Importing of photos from cameras, phones, and SD cards.
Batch upload/download of files.
Windows: http://dl-web.dropbox.com/u/17/Dropbox 1.3.12.exe

Linux x86: http://dl-web.dropbox.com/u/17/dropbox-lnx.x86-1.3.12.tar.gz
Notes:
Clients 1.3.5 and earlier had an auto-update bug. Please install this version so that your client will stay up to date!
The photo import feature is not available on Mac 10.4 and Linux.
For Android devices, it's best to use "Connect as Disk Drive". HTC Sync will not work.
To import from iPhone, make sure to unlock your phone and enter your passcode before importing, otherwise it will claim to find no photos.
If importing from your iPhone on Mac gives an import error, try hard resetting it--hold down the power and the home button for 5 seconds. This will reboot the phone; it shouldn't change your settings or delete data.
On Windows, this feature relies on Autoplay. Please enable Autoplay to use this feature if you have disabled it.
On XP and Vista, it relies on the Windows Image Acquisition Service. If this service is not started, please start the service and reinstall Dropbox to use this feature. On WIndows Server, you may have to install the Desktop Experience feature.
On Windows 7, newer devices that rely on Device Stage (in the Control Panel) will not show Dropbox as an import option until you select "Change Program" for the default.
The Galaxy Nexus takes a lot of time to connect on OS X because it likes to pretend that every image on the device is a photograph. We now estimate how long it's going to take and show you that in the progress bar but it's usually in the order of minutes. We're working to see if this can be improved.
As usual, we strongly recommend making a backup of your Dropbox before upgrading to this build as we'll need a few weeks to be certain of its stability. We will rapidly release new builds as necessary to snipe the most common issues as they arise."

Fastest way (tip i saw on g+) is to use beta desktop client provided in first post with those blank videos (you can put any avi or mp4 video on usb as well as long as it is in the dcim/camera foler and has not been uploaded to dropbox before and note 'renaming does not work') and use autorun dropbox import function.
must connect in mass storage mode or just plug microsd card ( usb reader and external hard drive does work as long as you keep proper folder structure dcim/camera). allow import to complete then in dropbox client 'pause syncing'. go to dropbox 'camera uploads' folder and delete files. again in dropbox client 'resume syncing' and thats it.
you just maxed 5GB without wasting all that time and bandwith!
note:you must have at least 4.5GB in pics and videos plus that one initial picture
another note: your maximum in pics and videos you want to import can not be greater than total dropbox ammount available to you or it will fail to sync properly. so best keep it around 5 just in case.

Got my extra 5GB already. Swhueet. My only worry is if Dropbox catch on; which they will. What will they do about it? Could they track who has been given large amounts of space, but not made any real difference in space in their online accounts? Could easily take the space back off us.

Can you post an article?
As far as I know the only 12 months credits are for space given to htc/ics devices 3/48 GB respectively.
I just uploaded a season of star trek to my dropbox and maxed out the free 5gb. Hopefully it is permanent but I don't really use much of it yet so if it was temporary I wouldn't lose anything.
I had to put the videos in a folder called DCIM on my SD card to get it to work on my PC, otherwise it would not auto detect which is what is required to get the free space..
Is this boost in space permanent?

Yes it's supposed to be permanent for those that get it during beta. Not sure if it will be extended for those that try to get it once the app is released in the market.

it has a rar file you can download with a 4.5gb image inside. Nice fast way to get the space.
Also, if you want a fast way to max out your referral bonus, use the google ad words method. Lifehacker has a few nice tutorials on how to do it.
If I already have 6.25gb, will I end up with 11.25gb?

That's because that file is larger than what you currently have. You need to upload smaller files. Like 10 minute 1080p videos or some avi files you might have lying around.

Did you read full first post? No need to upload and everything done in less than 10 minutes tops.
It's not gonna expire or they'll have public relations backlash for not saying that when they promised this space.
I just did the Google Adwords method last night until this morning. I have been meaning to do it since I read about it month ago, but this whole thing prompted me to go for it. In 12 hours I spent $10 and got over 30 signups and maxed out my allotted free "referral" space - I only needed 27. So on a Free account, I now have just over 15gb of storage.

Thanks! Just signed up. Seems to run fairly smooth. And I don't think I'll ever used 50gb. (First post, w00t! - lol)
i saw this on over at techspot. that is one hell of a bargain (free!!) but i just singed up for dropbox a week ago and am kinda hesitant
It needs to read my contact data? No thanx, I have 3 terabytes here at home that I can access from anywhere.
10MB file upload cap though
Eh I never saw the point in these net data boxes. The only thing I could think of needing that much space for is music, but I stream mine from Google music.
50GB for free is still insane regardless of needs.

Exactly what I thought it would be the most useful for, then saw the upload cap...kinda makes the file sharing somewhat limited if you can't upload large files that would make this truly a bargain! Now, if the cap were huge like several gigs- useful for folders and such...

Acutally, it's 100mb. For most people, this should be a problem. For me, I had one or two that didn't upload because of them going over the size limit, but still, 50gb free is great.
I also have DropBox and they have removed all their upload caps. Unlimited size, but you don't get the 50gb free.
You can download their latest app for the droid and I believe you can get up to 3 extra gbs when you allow the app to upload from your droid when you take pictures or shoot videos. So, for every 512mb you upload, you get an extra 512mb. You can keep doing that until you gain an extra 3gb and then they won't add anymore.
I did email Box.net to let them know that I love the 50gb I had via the LG promotion, but Dropbox had recently removed their upload cap limit for free users and it would be nice if Box.net would do the same. Not sure if they'll respond.
Anyways, it's a nice deal.
Honestly, I believe this is in the wrong section, sure it could be an app, but it's general/offtopic

Just saw your reply
You've got a good point, I don't really share access to my storage outside of a very small group of friends. I suppose if we're talking about sharing files like themes or sbf files, these services certainly have their place. But still, it would make me feel much better if their apk's didn't request access to my private data, i.e. contacts...or if they at least gave me the option to turn off the services which require such access. Basically, I just want a choice...
Don't mean to sound paranoid or anything, I'm just a big GNU guy and a Richard-Stallman-like fan of privacy and freedom.

With all apps like drop box and Bitcasa they have public and private folders, so you can choose what to share and what to keep private.

I hate that you cant browse out to you "Off-line" documents on Google Drive on your phone of tablet.... or I haven't found a way to do that... without digging into all the nesting...
does dropbox allow you to use i.e. ES File explorer and set pictures as wallpapers or save documents to your SDCard etc?
ES file explorer added support for GDrive so that helps with browsing files.
it has ??? Damn i didnt know... thanks !

Gunna have to go with drop box. Especially if you have to share files. Google drive just isn't as intuitive with file sharing like drop box is. For me I have to share .zips for themes and Google drive just doesn't cut it. Drop box ftw. However if you have something with a ton if traffic... good luck cuz they will nuke your public links.

I am a heavy Dropbox user. The thing I like most about Drobox is that I have a portable app which allows me to sync all my documents from a USB memory drive. This is especially important at work since I can't download any applications/etc.
I'm not sure of Google Drive's capabilities yet but I do expect to start playing around with it.
I do love the Titanium feature where it syncs backups to Dropbox. (Google drive I think does this as well). Comes in handy when you haven't backed up your phone on your computer in a long while, and you drop your phone deep into a lake. The same goes with syncing pictures.

for what I have been reading, Google Drive is not a virtual "drive" in a sense... like DropBox is... GD is Google Docs in costume... it works great for sharing documents specially if you use the web gui because it can render a lot of files natively... so if you are going to have wordDocs and XLS and PPTs, PSDs etc etc then GD is great... but for regular file dump, cloud repository DropBox wins...
