The camera app on the Rezound has an auto-upload feature, but the only auto-upload service is Facebook. Anyone know how to add other services? I'd love to add my Box account and have all my pictures auto-uploaded for backup purposes.
Not sure about other services but you could use dropbox or sugarsync to auto upload
Google+ also has an auto upload feature. It is tied into the phone number and activated through the app on the phone
Sugarsync

I use sugarsync and it works great, I don't even think about uploading anymore because it all happens in the background. Best of all, it's free (up to 5 gigs i think)
Mine is set to auto upload to flikr

Anyone have an alternative to Awesome Drop? - i do not want dropbox - i'm looking for a easy way to get small files from my PC to Phone quickly through my wifi. No programs etc. Like awesome drop, it'd be great to have it go from browser, but if not just suggest me some.
awesome drop is not working for me.
www.labs.dashwire.com is down apparently.
Sugar Sync
While this is an app, Sugar Sync is an amazing(and free) app that auto syncs whatever you want, photos, videos, or even certain folders. Look it up, and see if you like it!
minus.com and minus app in market.
Edit: Forgot to add you get up to 50 gig free with minus.
I'm not sure if there is any....

To transfer files between phone and pc on wifi I use Samba fileserver. It just turns your phone's internal SDCard into a network share. Free market app. Configure once. Does one thing and does it well. Presto.
I'll have to give that a try...

zzzap.it
We have released zzzap.it out of private beta a couple of days ago. It's actually quite similar and allows you to send any file from your desktop's web browser to an Android phone. There's an optional Chrome browser plugin that resembles the Chrome-to-Phone functionality as well. No user accounts required. The file size is currently limited to 10 Megabytes.
Would be nice to get some initial feedback in case you want to try it out. Thanks!

Awesome drop doesn't work with ICS so I gave this a try, and it works great! Thanks for the App.
Glad to hear. Let me know if you have any trouble with zzzap.it.
Has anyone started using "drive", I'm curious to know if anyone shares with it.
Sent from my MB525 using XDA
down loaded the app but it says will notify me when ready
so ill let you know
i got it stated, now i remember why i dont like cloud storage. Uploading three roms is a ***** to do, it shoud be ready check of they upgraded you to 10 gig free when you finally get on.
Why?
I like cloud more than those old usb's.
Maybe for Android users Google should give more space than usual but 5gb is enough if integration will be fine...only thing I need is "camera upload" feature from Dropbox and downloading directly from servers to a folder without using my upload speed (it's much faster and urldroplet is the only way for dropbox)...
Google rules.
No ubuntu (or any linux) support yet, so... i'll stick with ubuntu one (the same 5gb free)
CUBBY from logmein looks most promising among these cloud service. Unlimited p2p sharing is a novelty -

I've just got an email, that Google Drive has just been activated for my account! I'm going to explore it now
The desktop Google drive application is a million times better than the Google drive android app.
Currently the Android app is slow to launch and navigate.. This is where the Dropbox app shines..
On the desktop side things are much better and simpler..
I hope we get some serious revision soon for the Android app..

The Android Google Drive app is stil based around the original Google Docs app.
The startup time and navigation is slow.. The app needs a redesign from the ground up..

Anyone know if is it possible to download file from GDrive and move them in the Sd card ,with android app i mean? Or where the app store the offline file
i use....its vey nice and useful.....use it!
I really like Google Drive, almost as good as dropbox.
I would use it more if it would auto upload pics like dropbox. I'm sure the feature will come though. I love my dropbox, wish it had more space.

This feature is in the google+ app.
I prefer the dropbox app however having everything google based makes things a lot easier.
Actually I've installed it and had a try but feel more confortable using other services. It keeps on force closing when more than two apps are running in background so wiped it out.

a good try
It has a long way to go.
While sync is good, there's no option for Auto-upload a folder's content as in the desktop application.
Most annoying of all, everything you upload from your device is 'Private' and to change it, you need to access drive on your desktop. This fixed and it will be quite bearable.
Hello,
I am trying to find a replacement app for my gallery. It has to be well put together but the main thing is, it needs to have dropbox viewing. The stock HTC gallery app has it but mine isnt working for some reason. Any ideas?

Have you tried quickpic? its free in the market. I LOVE it and never ran into any issues what so ever.
I tried quickpic but i couldnt find any option to view photos from dropbox. Samething with fish bowl.
Does this really not exist? I am looking for a sollution where photos are located on Dropbox or Google Drive.
I think the thing is that pics stored on g drive or dropbox aren't actually on your phone unless you export them to your sdcard.
Although it would be pretty sweet to have a gallery app link to those accounts/apps I wonder if the issue is actually the available api's?

I managed to score a deal with Orange UK after I'd called to cancel my old contract with them (I'm with Three) and they offered me a FREE Galaxy S3 with 600 minutes, unlimited texts and 1.5GB of data for £23.56 (no idea where the 6p comes into it).
This is perfect for my GF, so I took them up on the offer and I'm giving her the phone and contract.
Now, she's been using my old HTC Desire through GiffGaff, of which we barely get a 2G signal around our house and where we live. Anyway, she's made three purchases on her Google account. Swiftkey, Battery Widget reborn and HD Widgets.
She used the Samsung keyboard on my phone a little to test it out (I use Swiftkey myself) and she quite liked that. The battery widget isn't any use for her on the GS3 since you can show the battery percentage next to the icon, but she'd like to keep HD Widgets.
We're giving the HTC Desire to my stepson as his first proper phone as well (he's 13) and the battery widget would be better on his phone and perhaps he could use the Swiftkey instead of my GF.
How do we go about keeping the purchases or moving them to another account? Is this possible?
Or, would it be possible to simply sign my GF into her Google account on her new phone as well as on the HTC Desire (so her account is present on both phones) and therefore both phones can use the apps?
The only tricky thing about that is the Google wallet and my stepson. I don't think he'd make purchases without asking but you just can't be sure!
Help!
You can have the same Google account on two different phones. Yes you can keep your purchases as long as you're logged into the same Google account. Moving app purchases between different accounts isn't possible as far as I know. As for keeping your son from making unnecessary app purchases, there's a setting in Google play that allows you to set a pin for downloading/purchasing apps
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Perfect. Yep just found that setting. "Require pin for user purchases".
That'll do nicely!
EDIT:
It might sound cheap, but can both phones use the same apps? Is there an install limit or something or is it a per account basis?

Nope never heard of an install limit. As long as your account is synced, you can use the same apps. BUT some paid apps are phone specific(purchased for the first phone and you might have to purchase a new license for the second phone). Best thing you can do is give it a test run- log both phones into your gfs Google account and see if you can restore paid apps in both phones. No harm in trying
Edit: I have to point out that your gfs contact data/gmail would be synced into the sons phone if you share the account. Even if you remove them from the sync settings, a 13yr old can always go into the settings and turn it back on

Sure you can use an app like titanium backup to freeze/uninstall it but the app is free on the market and can always be redownloaded. Even if you freeze the app, on the market there's an option to enable it(Just checked that myself)

That's fine. I doubt he'll try to use it.
I'm also checking online. According to Google, you can change your email address and transfer all your stuff over. I also never considered it but there'll be all my GF's contacts on there...
I think it may be a better idea to set up up his own gmail after all this! The widgets and stuff only cost a little anyway.
Yeah just setup his account and link it to your credit card so he can purchase apps with your permission.

Yeah, I guess that earlier. I think I'll just make him his own Google Account and put the pin lock on purchases and perhaps buy him the battery widget reborn thing (though Thomas H the dev was happy to move a donated purchase before, he might do it again?)

Or just stop syncing the gmail and contacts .....
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
the best option would be to sign in, install all the apps you want, and then remove the account from the device. it'll mean no future updates but for a battery widget/swiftkey, i don't really think you'd need them anyway. if a major update does come in, you could just sign in again, install update, and then remove account a second time.
IMPORTANT: YOU ONLY HAVE ONE SHOT AT THIS ON A SINGLE DEVICE--MESS IT UP AND YOU'LL HAVE TO GET A NEW DEVICE TO TRY AGAIN
You *must* flash an International ROM and use an account that you haven't used with a HTC phone before. NOTE: If you tried the DropBox apk pulled from the One X last year on any android device you must use a different account, even if it didn't work.
MOD EDIT: Removed. This is not allowed on XDA for devices which are not part of the original promotion.
Worked for me thanks a bunch

Unlock bootloader through HTC Dev, install custom recovery, and install any ROM from the International forum. I found the International Stock ROM to be very nice.
Sign in during the setup process with a Dropbox account. YOU MUST USE AN ACCOUNT THAT HASN'T BEEN USED WITH THIS OFFER BEFORE, SEE ABOVE.
Complete 5 of the 7 steps at www.dropbox.com/gs
If you did it correctly, within a couple minutes you should get an email.

How much space you will additionally get with already existing drop-box account for this HTC offer?
So if I took advantage of the drop box promo on my HOXL, I can not use that same drop box account and get another x amount of GB on this phone? Or do you mean the same Google account on the phone?
