There is a new app floating around in the I9100 forum called box . http://www.box.com/ it is very similar to drop box but for the next 30 days you get 5 gb free when you create a free account and they upgrade it to 50gb if you sign in from the android , after the 30 days you still keep the 50gb. I just tested it out and sure enough I now have 50 gb of storage. enjoy

Thanks!
I just got the upgrade. This is awesome
Its been out for a while, even more co-workers use it.
I personally like Dropbox for the sync feature, other than that Box.net is good for large files.

Not really, under the free version, dropbox let's you upload files up to however much space you have through the desktop version, and 300 MB through the site itself.
On the other hand, if you have the free version of box.com, you can only upload files up to 100MB in size. And then if you pay for the service, your file upload limit is 2GB. Which is peanuts in some cases.
I still signed up for box.com. I'm hoping that they will increase the file upload size in the future. Till then, I'll keep it around for whatever comes up.

Agreed re: the file size restriction for uploads - but with the total amount of space available, I can fit all my music and pics on Box - which will free up a good chunk of my space on dropbox and minus for the bigger single files. Guess I need to get around to organizing all my crap that's stored in the cloud somewhere...

Following your advice I archived my dropbox on box in 100MB rar volumes
Thanks for this! Now I'll use dropbox for small stuff and box for big files.
Awesome. Thanks for the heads up.
i got my 50GB free upgrade but what really kills it is that you need to pay for the business version in order to get the auto folder sync. Its a pain to use the website to upload files all the time, especially when i'm constantly changing the files in my folders that I'm syncing with sugarsync, right now.
i'm glad I got the free 50GB upgrade but I'll stick with sugarsync until box releases that autosync for free.
Yea jus sucks that they cap you at 10gb bandwidth and 100mb attachments. still 50GB for free is nothing to complain about. I'm gonna sort my dropbox and then archive it to BOX... JIC.
Seriously though at least let me get 256-512mb attachments if you're gonna give me 50 gigs to play with.
Worked for me too.

Try foldersync. I been using it for months, works great. You can set it up to add only the new files in what ever folder you want to sync. I'm using the pro version.

yeah i hear ya. I'm not complaining about the 50GB free upgrade - thats amazing to give away (although it doesnt cost them anything because they make their money off the increased upload limit prices and things like that).
anyway, 100MB limit doesnt even give me enough space to upload a ROM that I'm using (if I wanted to save it myself). I paid to upgrade my sugarsync account and I'm happy with it.

Supposedly they have webDAV so you can access your online files via a network share in windows or other OS. I'll check it tomorrow and post instructions or a link if it works.
Sent via XDA app
I found the instructions for setting up WebDAV with Box.net and Windows at this link:
http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/upload-files-awesome-boxnet-windows-explorer/
I just tried it out and it works. I'm using the https connection and it is a little slow. This should also work for Mac and Linux; offhand I don't know how to setup WebDAV links on either.
So, this means you can use a folder synchronization tool to sync your files locally and on Box.net. On Windows I usually use SyncToy for this but there's other options too.
Hmmm. What do u mean sign in from the android? Just created account from phone and and says I have 5 gb of storage..which is cool. Dont get me wrong thanks for posting this
NM...figured it out. Got 50gb through market. Been one of those days, and a major blonde moment lol

UPDATE: A PREVIEW VIDEO HAS BEEN RELEASED FOR THE WINDOWS MOBILE CLIENT. IT SEEMS TO BE FOR WINDOWS MOBILE 5 & 6.x AS ITS SHOWN ON THE HTC LEO / HD2
YOU CAN VIEW IT HERE: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsbcO5iWVI8&feature=player_embedded
Note: YOU CAN VOTE EVERY 28 DAYS AGAIN FOR THE SAME CHOICE!!
Please can everyone who has Dropbox or might get Dropbox after reading this whole post then please also vote for a Windows Mobile App for it! I don't get why its always the iPhone which gets all the apps even though it has fewer developers!
Here the link to vote for it: https://www.dropbox.com/votebox/8/windows-mobile-support
And if you want to sign-up here is the link: https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTE5Njc5OTk5 YOU WILL GET AN 250MB EXTRA IF YOU USE ME REFERRAL LINK!
What Is Dropbox?
Dropbox is software that syncs your files online and across your computers. Put your files into your Dropbox on one computer, and they'll be instantly available on any of your other computers that you've installed Dropbox on (Windows, Mac, and Linux too!) Because a copy of your files are stored on Dropbox's secure servers, you can also access them from any computer or mobile device using the Dropbox website.
With Dropbox, your files are always in sync.
Let's say you're editing a document at home. As soon as you click 'Save', Dropbox will sync this same file to all your other computers (and now your iPhone!) instantly and automatically. It's as if you saved the document to all of your computers. This gives you the freedom to work on any of your computers and always have the files you need.
Dropbox lets you share files easily.
You can easily share entire folders or photo albums with Dropbox. Simply put the folders you want to share in your Dropbox, and invite people to them. You can also send people links to specific files within your Dropbox. This makes Dropbox perfect for team projects
With Dropbox, online backup is automatic.
Any file you put into your Dropbox folder is automatically backed up to our servers. Even if your computer has a melt-down, your files are safe on Dropbox and can be restored at any time. While our free 2GB account is perfect for backing up your documents, we offer larger accounts (up to 100GB) for backing up your music and video collections.
Dropbox lets you go back in time to undelete or undo changes to files.
Every time you save a file in Dropbox, Dropbox syncs it to our secure servers. Dropbox keeps a history of every change you make so that you can undo any mistakes and even undelete files. By default, we keep 30 days of history for all your files. We also have an unlimited undo option called "Pack-rat".
Dropbox is better.
Dropbox replaces:
Emailing file attachments to yourself and other people
Using USB drives to move files between computers
Renaming files to keep a history of previous versions
Complicated backup software and hardware
And more!

SugarSync is the best syncronization solution i've tested so far
some of the features that attracted me mostly
- 5GB of free space (+ 500MB)
- sync the files between all the computers and devices
- music streaming
- photo sharing
If you register through my referral link you'll get an additional 500MB (I also get)

Or if you don't like the OP you can use the link in my sig. JK OP...don't take it seriously. The good thing about Sugarsync is you can get up to an extra 10GB. I think I am up to a total of 11GB right now, which is real cool for keeping files synced between my laptop, Asus Transformer and Evo 3D. The bad thing about it is they don't have native Linux support, but a third party is building a Linux client. It is in Alpha stage now and you can get more info here: http://mwillis.co.uk/projects/sugarsync-linux-client/
I've been trying this for a while but can't decide which I like better.
I have carbonite already for full backup.
I've used dropbox forever and my wife actually likes it because it a folder in the my documents folder so she can just go in and out of there for shared files.
If I wanted to use sugarsync for full backup, it would cost alot more than carbonite so I'm just not sure if its worth the switch unless there are other features I'm missing.

I'm thinking so too. It's a nice setup but I think the size is the issue for me.
I'll keep playing with it though...I like the idea of putting sync and backup together but just not sure if it fits my particular needs. Nice program...
thanks op, my dropbox just maxxed out...enjoy the extra 500mb.i know i will...just need that native linux client. until then wine will do.
thanks again.
I don't know about sugar sync, haven't used it in a while (year maybe) but I remember it not working well when I tried it. I use dropbox religiously and couldn't live without it. Seems like sugarsync keps crashing on me and not syncing properly. Maybe it's been fixed and I should give it another go. My dropbox is almost full...
Does sugarsync have the option of using revision history? Can you go back a few days and grab an older version of a document you changed?

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.

Which is better? Pros and cons on both?

Well for starters, Dropbox has a lower free storage space but you can upload files of any size to it. Box on the other hand has a 100MB upload limit per file.
The main reason I don't use Box, though I have 50 GB (and the 100 MB limit is decent enough for stuff like photos and music) is because there's no desktop client for the computer. It's all on phones and tablets only and the web interface. Dropbox has an awesome desktop client and it's just too easy to copy a file into the Dropbox folder on my computer and see it appear on my phone. With Box I'd have to upload it via the web interface :\
Those are the two main differences between the two, and quite big ones at that. Other stuff isn't that big a deal, but sharing files from Dropbox with their new direct link feature is too convenient.
In terms of pure functionality and convenience, Dropbox is the best cloud storage service right now. Apart from these, I use Windows Live Skydrive and Google Drive too, both of which have desktop clients similar to Dropbox. In order of usefulness (for me), I'd say Dropbox>Windows Live SkyDrive>Google Drive>Box.
You can get upto 6 GB of space in your Dropbox for free (not counting the 500 MB you get everytime someone uses your referral link to sign up). This only works in Windows - create a folder on a pen drive with a bunch of photos and images of around 3 GB size, then put it in your computer and wait for Autoplay to pop-up, choose 'Import photos to Dropbox' and let it upload all the photos. You'll get 3GB extra free space for using the camera upload feature (it increases space in steps of 500 MB so you need to wait till the entire 3GB uploads).
Also go to the 'Get free space!' link on top of the Dropbox website to get ~500 MB more space.
Hope this helped.

I have tried different file explorers including ES File Explorer (my first choice). They all have really slow file transfer speeds when copying files from my computer to my HOX+. 600kB/s is the fastest I have seen.
Here is the odd part, when running DLNA server, other devices can pull large videos from my phone over WiFi at speeds of 15-20 Mbps (around 1.5 MB/s+).
I have tried disabling power saver options and enabling best wifi performance setting. I have stood right next to the router with the phone. Nothing seems to work.
Anyone have any ideas?
PS: Running Elegancia 5.1 but I'm fairly certain this isn't a ROM issue. I"m guessing it is a SMB/windows network sharing protocol problem.

I just stumbled across the best way to transfer files I've found yet. BitTorrent Sync. It's super easy to setup...just scan a QR code generated on your computer to sync up. Then drag and drop files and they transfer using the torrent protocol rather than smb or something similar which maxes out transfer speeds as fast as your wifi and device can handle. My current setup maxes out and about 4.0 MB per second, which is way way better than I was getting transferring with ES File Explorer.
I use that for my offsite storage, but I didn't think about it for my phone. I'll try it. Thanks.

Just got 6.5 MB/S when transferring large files...this is an awesome app. I can send huge files in minutes to friends phones around the world...plus auto backup my videos to my computer with out ever using a cable. I've also been syncing app data between devices to sync up all my phones and tablets. Can't praise this app enough...plus your data doesn't reside on a server.

I just stumbled across the best way to transfer files I've found yet. BitTorrent Sync. It's super easy to setup...just scan a QR code generated on your computer to sync up. Then drag and drop files and they transfer using the torrent protocol rather than smb or something similar which maxes out transfer speeds as fast as your wifi and device can handle. My current setup maxes out and about 4.0 MB per second, which is way way better than I was getting transferring with ES File Explorer.

OMG!!! Thank you so much. I've been dealing with these crappy transfer speeds for a couple years now.

Glad you've discovered it. I'm always finding new uses for it. Now I keep full backups of my internal and external sdcard over wifi while I sleep every night. It's been months since I've even used a USB cable. My Note3 averages almost 10MB/s so it's actually bumping up against the bottleneck of the sdcard speed. I haven't found anything close to this speed. I wish more people were using it, spread the word!

Bittorent Sync is awesome in this regard.
in ES File explorer, my speeds max out at ~750kBps, but Bittorent Sync gives 2MBps!
Do you know any other clients which uses same protocol as Bittorent Sync (I guess torrent protocol).

Not that I'm aware of, for transferring personal files. I mean, there's mobile apps for Bit-torrent clients (to run P2P sharing) but that's all I know about. It's also quick to just send your buddy the QR code generated by a folder to send secure encrypted files to anyone around the world without them residing on companies' servers. They just scan it with their phone and bam they get the whole folder direct instead of accross dropbox or Google Drive servers. I take a lot of HD Videos on my phone and it's the only simple way to share them easily with my non-tech savvy friends. Short videos can easily be a few hundred MB's and too big for email. Glad the days of setting up FTP servers are behind me!

Hi guys, I know this is an old thread, but if you use the App called Super Beam, you can transfer files easily using wifi, and it reaches VERY hi speeds without breaking a sweat.

You should try Sambadroid, and portforward port 445 TCP on your router for the all connections
i get over 6MB/S for a 250MB file i takes like 30 seconds

I''f you're familiar USENET, newsgroups, PROVIDERS, indexors, etc. Transfer rates are
faster Than 15 mbps. It's quite a process to set it up unless you''ve been using it
For over 10 years like I have. I'd be happy to share if anyone's interested.. I'd
Just have to write instructions.

usenet donload rates are direct from a server, i dont know what newsgroup or who you signed up with but dowload rates just from Sabnzbd was as fast as my internet provider could go. Pc couldnt even write to the disk so it would pause and wait for CP to write then proceed downloading. Im just looking for something good on Android. but i guess its fine grabbing nzb files, then downloading them once i reach home. This has been out since the 80's i think, and the best places to find anything are private sites that come and go. meanwhile torrents rates are just beyond slow. There are some good free ones out there, may not give much retention and so on but speeds still the same. IF anyone know of anything better nowadays id appreciate. Thanks to all the talented, creative minds here.
