Dear chefs,
Everybody knows how slow some online share-site's are. It's frustrating for you, that every time you just finished your new ROM, you have to wait so long
The users are frustrated by the same site's because of all the restrictions: wait 1 or 2 minutes, it's to busy right now, slow connection, you reached your max. data quota for today, and all the terrible add's & pop-ups!
But, there is a solution! It is an application for your computer (win & mac) that will put a special folder on your desktop. It is a special folder because everything that you put in that folder, automatically synchronizes with your ON-LINE storage space! If You have more than 1 machine like me, you are glad with the next feature: synchronizing between desktops. I've installed the application on my Win7 desktop, and on my MacBook. So stop mailing yourself, end throw away that USB stick that's always lost
But, why you MUST use it, is the Public Folder in your synchronizing folder! When you have finished your new ROM, just put it in your folder (zip/rar is not necessary!) en right-click > provide public link!
This link, you post on XDA and every user can download your new ROM in peace! To test it, here is a link from the Mikenificent 13.3 ROM, I put in my public folder> LINK
See a short youtube video with all the possibilities >VIDEO
So, have I convinced all Chef's to use dropbox for your ROMS?
Use this LINK to get started whit dropbox. Why that link? It's a referral link, and when you use that we both get hooked up whit 250MB extra, besides the 2GB standard storage!
Thank you, and keep cooking!

Maybe if you didnt post your own refferal link at the bottom of that post, you would have been more.. believable.
Dropbox is nice for small files. However the speed, sucks sometimes. In order to make files available publically you have to put them in the Public folder, where they will get erased 30 days later. So there's some drawbacks, but for a cook that only cooks for one or two devices and plans on updating the ROM at least once a month, it's not a bad choice
@OP:
Two items;
1) Here is a review that I did on the various file hosting services:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5492841&postcount=6
2) You have posted this in several forums. It's borderline spam, any more instances and your account will be suspended.
Thread closed.
I was searching around for a sync tool that would simply allow me to synchronise my camera and video files from my HTC Leo. I found this shareware application which does this and much more.
Synchronise any folder from or to your PC and WM device using your Activesync Connection.
Despite being Japanese in origin, the interface is in simple english and extremely easy to use.
Many of you may already be aware of this, but I thought it merited a dedicated thread.
The authors website and download links can be found here..MobiSync Website.
Registration after a 30 day trial costs $8, so great value.
Thread moved to Dev&Hacking - Apps&Games.
it's not freeware it is shareware
MobSync is a software allowing any file folder synchronization from the PocketPC onto the desktop--synchronization which cannot be done with ActiveSync(or Vista).
Supported ActiveSync4.5. or Vista
Trial time is 30 days. There is no function limitation.
Another solution is goodsync http://www.goodsync.com/ which can sync mot just mibole device but also sync sftp, ftp webdrive etc...... Not a freeware
Correction
I apologise, first post corrected.
Registration
I have now registered MobSync and the license cost $8, so it is great value.
I have been using this for a while and it is a great sync app. If you want a freeware version then you can try v0.94. However I found this didn't have the great functionality that I needed so bought v2.0.3. For a few £'s you can't go wrong - I know my documents are always up to date on my TP2, and if I change them, will update back on my PC.

Can you tell us exactly what functionality is lacking in the freeware version 0.94? You write "it didn't have the great functionality of v 2.0.3" (which is shareware).
I (and probably other readers) would liek to know--exactly what is that "great functionality" that is in 2.03, but lacking in 0.94?
Both will sync your files, correct?
I know with the pay version you can specify multiple folders and also filters for which files you want to sync. Also you can specify how to sync (copy new files, exact copy, keep same as...) this is all the functionality I use, and I know at least some of that was missing on the free version. It's been a long time since I used the free version, and it would be better you install it and see if it does everything you want. If not, give the shareware version a go, I think you can trial it.
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
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using xda premium
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
I read the whole section forum and people are side loading uncompatible apps, but no where does anyone explain "how to" side load an app can somenoe tell me, I have apps on my Galaxy 7in and they are not compatible with the Sony S running Android 3.2.1.
I want my Amazon app store, Pinger texting, words with friends and I have others too!
This is a new toy for me but disappointed that I cannot get these apps
Any help is appreciated!
It's easiest if you have ADB knowledge so you can pull apps from the galaxy tab and push them to the tablet s, but you can get the amazon appstore by going to amazon's website and it'll email you a link to the download. Also, I have words with friends on my tablet which I downloaded from the market no problems. Maybe with the latest tablet s update it is no longer marked as compatible, in which case we'll have to wait for the ICS update for a lot of the fragmentation problems to go away.
Put the .apk file from your Tab on your sd card, then you go into a file explorer type application on the Sony to find the file. Click on it and it should ask you if you want to install.
You should be able to download the amazon app store directly from amazon.com.
Also a nice program that will backup all your settings/files/apks is MyBackup Root, which will put all the apk's in one folder. However looks like the sony still hasn't been rooted?? I'm still waiting for mine in the mail.
Thank you
I am sure some of this is out of my league but I am going to take a shot at it. This is all new to me. I am technically challenged LOL.
I am going to go get the Amazon App Store though.
Thank you for the extra help

If you use Astro File Manager (I know plenty do) on your Tab, you can use Astro's built-in App Manager to backup the apk files from every installed app to a folder on your SD Card. Then just copy this folder to your Sony like any other file, then using Astro (or some other file manager) to click on the individual apps in that folder and choose install.
I backed it up
AGC 93
I really am technically challenged here, I downlaoded the Astro File system, and I backed up the programs I want but I don't know where I backed them up to, it didn't give me a choice as to where to back them up.
Then I dont know how to transfer them from one device to the other. I wasn't kidding when I said technically challenged!
Thank you
Sandy
you could also save apps on a shared drive and install from there using file manager or the same via dropbox, etc
Maybe?
Maybe one of you would be willing to walk me through this procedure from beginning to end and then I will learn it, but right now it is all a mumbo jumbo to me.
We can do it through PM if we don't want to clog up the forum or maybe there is someone else who needs the same help as myself
Thank you
Sandy
Would it not be easier to just use the normal Amazon web page rather than mess about trying to get an app to install? If it's anything like the Amazon iphone app, it's pretty useless anyway - certainly nowhere near as good as using the web page.
I should explain better
I really need to text so I need a texting program that works well with at least some options. Chompsms and Handcent do not work without a phone number and getting an answer from tech support from either of those is like pulling eye teeth,(sorry)
I found a texting program on my galaxy 7 inch that works wonderful and does have some options for larger fonts, a local phone number bubbles so you know who is talking blah blah blah, it is not compatible with Android 3.2.1 which is on my new Sony tablet,
I am trying to side load that and Have no idea what I am doing,
Plus when we get ICS does that mean some of the things that are not compatible now will be when we get that update?
thank you in advance for all the help
Sandy

Sorry for the slow reply. By default, the apps we be backed up to a folder called Backup on the SD card. In there, there should be your apk's.
Hope that helps
Hello, don't really know exactly where i should post this, but it would be awesome if some one could help me to try this out.
i have been modifying an old "content management system" that allows file uploads, now i have been able to restricting file uploads for members only and also modified to be able to allow registrations. i have also been able to set an expiration time for the files uploaded since i only have 2 gb storage. Now i figured since i got my web hosting service free along with the domain name, i could share some of it's goods with you guys.
I got 2 Gb storage and 100000 MB bandwidth.
Now you may wonder "How does this work?"
Well, it works like this, if you are a developer that produces one new update per day (aosp/CM), you can upload your rom to my site, when upload is done you will get one link for the download and one removal link.
Share the download link anywhere you would like to any one, and you don't need to remember the removal link, you can find that link again in "my files" section of the website. when you upload the file you will get some options like expiration date, i would be glad if you could use 3 days or less if you upload every 24 hours. if the file is ~300MB you can download it until the bandwidth plan is empty more or less and this site will be available for about 1 year unless i get premium from my one and only ad which i self applied from my host to get a free premium, but it will only work if you want to get you own website. xD
If you want to try this out for me, just register and start sharing
