Which is better? Pros and cons on both?
Honestly the only different I see is I have 50 gigs on box and 2.5 on dropbox
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
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.

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:

Those that would rather make that 5GB uploading form computer:
"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].
1.3.12
500MB of free space on 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
Mac OS X: http://dl-web.dropbox.com/u/17/Dropbox 1.3.12.dmg

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.
Which one do you prefer. Right now I have a Dropbox pro account that I dropped but still has membership, and I have a recurring sugar sync account which I love. But I was just wondering which do you prefer?

Dropbox for me, I only have 5GB, but that's pretty much all I need.
That's good, but I can't get referrals for the love of it.
Dropbox, but not because it's better than SugarSync. I have a ton of friends that use dropbox and with the recent 5 gigs they gave away I'm at 17 gigs of space.
That being said, I've heard great things about SugarSync so if you don't plan on sharing anything/folders with friends (Dropbox is, for the most part, the universal standard) I might give that a try too.

It may sound like something you absolutely hate doing, but spam the hell out of your friends and family. It won't cause them any harm and you'll GREATLY appreciate the extra storage space. It took me a long time to come to terms with it, but boy was it a great decision. I sent out an email explaining that I was helping friends coordinate a programming project and that by them signing up it helped us out a lot with school. Worked like a charm (though it was all true. lol).
What? no one signed up for Asus Web Storage when they got their prime?
I still use dropbox, but signed up for a Asus account thru my Prime and they give you 8 GB of storage instead of the 2 GB that anyone else gets.
Why not just use Tonido and use your own computer and as much space as you want? By using Tonido I don't have to worry about space anymore.
I use Dropbox and Dropsync to keep important docs local and in sync. That way I don't rely on wifi... Works great for me. Go check out their blog to see if they still have the recent beta going where each 500MB in photos and video you sync automatically gives an equal amount of storage up to 5GB.

DB for sure. Google the 2.0.9 apk and it now has unlimited uploaded & there is a way yo get 500gb free instant & then 4.5gb free for uploading during the beta.
Plus the new version can sync photos & bids instantly when taken.
Ya I'm doing it, but I only received the initial 500mb then after upload automatically I got nothing. What the 2.09 APk I don't understand.
With 2.0.9 every 500mb you upload with their new upload feature will give you 500mb up to 5gb. Many of us all got the 5gb as I just made 500mb vids & uploaded them.
Yes I just did it too. It seems the google Adwords is a great way to do this too huh?
I've used Dropbox for a while and will continue to - I have several shared folders set up that are very useful. I did sign up for the 8gb from Asus and the 50gb promotion from Box. Those along with misc cloud storage that came with my laptop and printer (he'll, not to mention Google Docs and Music)...... I'm pretty well set I use them for different things and so easy I've not used at all yet.
just use vmware and set some virtual machines up, u'll get 16gb in no time(had an .edu email so it gave me double), so far i got 23.88gb from dropbox.
wouldve been more if i didnt miss that 1gb scavenger hunt thing
Sugarsync for me
I use Sugarsync and it works well. The main reason I picked it over Dropbox was the ability to select multiple separate directories to sync (vs just one Dropbox directory). You also can choose which directories to sync between which PCs (not all dirs have to be synced between all PCs). Very handy. However, Sugarsync has two large holes (that are supposed to be filled this year) - you can't sync a directory on a USB drive, and you have to sync with the cloud (vs getting data directly from a local PC).
Agree on Dropbox, tried them both and its better on android.
Dropsync is very nice for tablets/phones too. got on my prime and sgs2 for convenient sync with no hassles

Synology DS212j is a pretty neat little machine!
I have used SugarSync for about 18 months. I am liking how they are agressively updating it and appear to be trying to gain traction in a very competitive market by improving the product. It works well for me on my TFP 201. I have the 100 gig storage plan.
Dropbox
Currently using Dropbox and loving it. I have the 50Gb account that is up to 54.5 with referrals, beta etc. This may change though when Google deploys Drive.
I've used both, and Sugarsync wins just for the ability to sync multiple independent folders. I know there are some workarounds in DB, but I don't want workarounds. I like the ability to just click on a folder and share it immediately, and still keep it where I want it. It's pretty easy to get above the given 5Gb too, with a little legwork. I got up to 6.5Gb in 15 minutes by jumping through their hoops. Also, the interface is pretty easy to work with. I had formerly used Windows Live Mesh, which was quick to sync, and can work peer to peer (still use it on my LAN because it's so quick, and no file limits via P2P). Unfortunately there are few mobile clients for Mesh. So Sugarsync wins for me.

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...

I signed up. Would be better though if it uploaded videos in 1080p as well like Google+ or Dropbox.
