Just a quick question: Do Prime users get more Asus Webstorage storage capacity than the 2GB? I have the Asus Webstorage app running on my Xoom currently and was wondering if Prime users get more than the 2GB.
I remember something about Prime owners getting 8GB free for life. This is different from Transformer owners, who received unlimited storage for a year.
The mycloud app says 8gb.

SWEET! Thanks!
Im not sure what I did differently, but when I signed up with my ATF, I received UNLIMITED storage for a year. I currently have about 40gb saved to it.

50gb for free, can't use video but still, pretty nice. Maybe use the tiny bit ASUS gives for video.
i have that 50gb free through my blogging site but i know if we get root we can trick app into thinking we have lg pone and get free 50gb did it for my mom on her samsung sidekick

I wouldnt trust anything critical... Since I signed up and received my unlimited storage there have been three outages where I could not access anything for more than 24 hours each time.
I use it to store non critical documents that I have duplicates of anyway, pictures, video, movies, as earlier mentioned... PORN.

Hi all, what about the privacy policy?
Basically, my question is :
- are the files in AWS encrypted using AES and "your" password (meaning Asus can not decipher them) ?
or is like dropbox that it is encrypted on their site, but with THEIR password, so they can indeed access all your files?
Is this post true about mycloud server :http://forum.asuswebstorage.com/showtopic.aspx?topicid=332
I am looking for a free cloud storage option where files are encrypted in a way only me can decipher them, and not the storage company... and to be accessed from max 3 items (PC+Prime+Phone)..
Any advice?
Thanks

I know this nothing related to the tab..but i have an upcoming road trip and was looking to purchase and download some movies for watching it on the go.
I'm looking for legal sites of course .. where do you guys normally buy movies for download? I usually use Netflix so don't have much info on good sites to buy movies from. Also, anything in particular i have to look out for in terms of movie format?
I don't know about a good site for buying movies besides amazon but figured I'd offer what I use. I have a subscription to playon which has an android app. This allows me to watch media from hulu, netflix, and my server. It works with a lot of devices and has tons of options. Check out their website (playon.tv), they offer a trial so you can check it out.
nice work!
I have never had any problems with Samsung's media hub, but beyond that I always use netflix as well...

Legal site I don't know much about *cough* but I think Netflix is still your best bet, unless you want to stream live but that would require internet connection.

They want to watch on a trip, so wouldn't the content need to be local on their GTab???

Actually this year to use the app it is like 50$ more if you are a subscriber, but either way if you aren't subscribed to sunday ticket you can pay the 50$ and still use the app. Sucks for you're of us with the actual subscription since it used to be included but great for those who don't want the full subscription and just the app use.

Thanks but maybe I can find a cheaper alternative - my in laws are from new jersey and are huge Dallas cowboys fans (don't know how that happen) but they only televise a few games out of the whole season the rest all just local teams(jets/giants/philly)
I was thinking that there might be software where they can watch tv online by maybe tuning in to a local channel from Dallas. Just looking into a possible alternative might be cheaper than $50 subscription to direct tv....then again it might be the only option. also they do not own any tablets so will the nfl sunday ticket for $50 work on their home PC?
Thanks in advance.

As far as I know it will, The 50$ (again not 100% sure that was the price but close) should work on any mobile device as well as PC's. I used to use it on my laptop but like I said I didn't pay the extra money this year for it so I'm not sure I just know it used to. Sorry wish I could be more help.
Title pretty much says it all. Download the box app for android and create an account and it will automatically give you 50gb of storage.

Got this back when I had the Touchpad, the downside is that you have to use one of the pay services to be able to sync files. It's good if you don't mind throwing files in there every once in a while, I suppose.
Ty you for the info sign up was easy and the apps is well polished

The fact they give you 50GB is awesome, but they have SOOOOOO Many restrictions.
When you want to upload a file, they have very small filesize limits. You will not be uploading any movies or anything, that is for sure. It works better more for smaller files and stuff, which YOU WOULDN'T NEED 50GB For.
Also, if you want to upload files from your Computer, you have to use a web browser. Their Desktop Application to simply drag and drop files into your Box Storage is a Premium Feature that you have to pay for. Yes, they don't even give you a Desktop Client.
These were all of my impressions from about 3 to 4 weeks ago. I just keep using Dropbox. So much easier to use with fewer restrictions.
I continue to use Tonido, which uses my own computer as the "cloud". Unlimited space, unlimited file sizes, unlimited everything.

Unlimited? Quantum computer?
What 3rdamention mentioned, is why I still need to use Dropbox for anything I would otherwise store in box, and getting the file syncing stuff for free on desktop is a good bonus too.
OK, once upon a time even an 8 meg file was ginormous but in this day and age, who the heck lives with 100M limits? I think it's just a technique for getting people to pay for the business plans.

Now through March 23rd anyone that downloads the Box.net app and logs in gets upgraded to 50gb of free storage (normally 5gb) and the maximum file upload size gets bumped up to 100mb (normally 25mb). Plus, it is for life and never expires.
Check press release here: http://www.maximumpc.com/article/news/box_offers_50gb_free_cloud_storage_android_users
Works like a charm. Thanks for posting
very cool man. thanks
Wonderful, thanks
Maybe I'm a little paranoid but does anyone else ever wonder why they are giving away so much free space for you to store your stuff?
I dont use any online storage sites only because all my personal stuff stays in my control. Makes me wonder what I'm missing out on though. What does everyone keep online? MP3s, pictures, "personal" videos, work files?

Because with the 200mb max single file upload limit it is incredibly hard to use up all 50gbs for the average user

Or so they can suck you in and get you on a paid account. Once you've taken the time to up 50GB of stuff, if you need more space you're more likely to stay where you are than go somewhere else and start over.

All of that plus they want users. They have services running alongside their storage that brings them revenue. That's why they give it out so freely, they cleared out quite a bit of the normal overhead costs and can afford to grow via promotions as an additional service of a phone. I got my 50 gigs last year when they welcomed LG users, all LG users.
Got on there with my Optimus, haven't used it since day one. I'd just been using Spider-oak, I don't like streaming content but it does offer sharing content which I do need in a service. It did exactly wha I want with a high level of security. Love them. I'm a fringe user though, dropbox, box.net, etc will be the best bet for most users.

I love to use this App
It's very easy to share file

Hello all just recently joined the prime family and I am trying to get movies onto the tab. I successfully got two onto it, but I am having trouble getting the didgital copy edition ones on. Rather I should say I can't get them to work period. Can anyone recomened me a program that removes the drm and can convert the movies into an appropriate file. I am unrooted and I have vista as my os on my computer 32 bit I think any help would be much appreciated thanks.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA
If your able to get them on the prime but unable to play the format, try downloading an app called " online player". It can play almost any format.
Go to the play store on your tablet and download MX VIDEO PLAYER. this will play just about any video format.
Thanks for the input and i have tried mx player, bb player, dice and many others. I am finding that I am having trouble with files that are DRM protected. I have 2 movies on my prime that i can view no problem, but I have tried to put 2 other movies on that came with blue ray as a digital copy that i cannont play. I am looking for a video converter or perhaps a program that can remove the DRM on the file so that they can be played back on the prime.
thanks.
oh and a side note, i can not seem to reply or post anything on xda from my prime, all i can do is read. Am i stupid and just not using it right or does it not yet have complete functionality with ICS? any thoughts?

I would recommend Dice Player, a nice simplistic UI and plays practically any media files along with subtitles and such.
As for the XDA problem are you using the browser? If so are you even logged in? lol
I have been using DVD Catalyst. The software is very inexpensive and the developer is extremely responsive. He is a "supporting vendor" at the Transformer Forums. There is a trial period for the software if you want to try it out. He was right there to help when one of the 15 videos I was converting using the software just wouldn't work. He got right back to me and helped me with necessary adjustments. Not sure about Vista but you could ask him.
fyi, here's a link to the forum section for further info

Yup, I've been using DVD Catalyst for a while and it's never met a video file or DVD it hasn't converted. There are presets for all kind of devices and it's easy to use. I'll second the fact that the dev is very quick to reply. Every e-mail I've sent asking a question has been met with a responce in a couple of hours. I'm not sure about digital copies, I've never tried to convert on of those yet.

Digital Copies (the ones you get with some DVDs and Blurays) are DRM protected. They use an activation system that is mostly compatible with Apple iDevices and Windows Mobile devices, but not with Android devices.
There are some newer formats, such as UltraViolet and PocketBlu, that are "Android" compatible, but they are a bit of a hit & miss.
There are some tools that use your computer to play and record the files in order to "convert" them (the only way), however, you will achieve better results by converting the actual BR and DVD discs directly.

Are these "digital copy editions" iTunes videos?
I ran into the same problem. I buy a lot of DVDs and when they come with a "Digital Edition" it is always an iTunes video which has some sort of copy protection that prevents non-Apple devices from playing them most of the time.
I used an program called Noteburner M4v Converter that sells for $40. It strips the DRM out of the iTunes movies and allows you to play them on other devices.
Here is a link to the site:
http://noteburner.com/noteburner-m4v-converter.html
It takes a while to convert the movies but the quality is just as good as the unconverted movies and you can convert them to several formats. I kept the videos in M4v format since Android has no problem reading this format and it is easier to convert from one format to the same format if all you are interested in doing is getting rid of the DRM so you can play you legally purchased movies on your Android device.
Ya I can rip regular DVDs onto my prime but the digital copies I find have the drm on them and won't let me add it to my prime guess I need to buy a blue ray reader for my computer
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using XDA
I have this same problem. seems to be the drm incoding. I looked at DVD catalyst site, and it says that it can't convert drm encrypted files. Any one have another program that will?

Those nicknames sound about right, and remember, computers are suppose to magically work. There is no back end servers that manage everything, it just works.
My drive isn't available yet. The funny thing is that I was interviewing with Dropbox a few weeks ago when this was rumored. During the second interview they asked "what feature do you think could completely revolutionize Dropbox?" my answer was the ability to store media and stream it to your devices, they said it was a good idea but would probably create problems with the DMCA/MPAA/RIAA/any other four letter asshole groups or laws. I just saw on G+ today that someone mentioned this was a feature and when I asked them about it they confirmed it worked!
I have a feeling that once this matures, Dropbox is going to lose a fair amount of users.
Have you guys seen the verge article? Basically, they could possibly use, modify, and profit from what you store in the gdrive. I went ahead and downloaded it, and it works pretty well. Just waiting to see how Google responds to the complaints. I dig google, and all the stuff the put out. Just sayin.

"As it turns out, the company claims no ownership—it says so right in the terms of service, and a comparison between Google Drive's terms and that of other storage services turns up few material differences, except for a couple of questionable terms that may land your content in Google's promotional materials."
Just got mine activated today, it's neat, but nothing mind-blowing yet. The only thing that is awesome right now is if you upload a video to your drive you can watch it on a mobile device.

There's a little trick to "forcing" activation. If you have 2 google accounts on your phone, download the app and keep switching between accounts in the app and it will activate. Did it yesterday and it worked. I now have 2 active accounts 10 minutes after signup.
not really liking drive though..or the app I should say. Lacks image thumbnails and can't create folders. To view an image it takes time to open where dropbox is almost instant and you can swipe to next pic just like in gallery. IMO, dropbox is still the winner. But I'm sure its only time till those issues are addressed.
