[Q] Manage Multiple Cloud Storage Services - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I don't feel like installing all these specific dedicated apps to manage my accounts on box, google drive, skydrive and sugarsync, so I was wondering since some users seem to have multiple accounts with these services, how do they manage them on their device? What apps would let us do something like that?

Try ES File explorer
or file expert
or astro
or many more
they all connect to multiple cloud storages and display them in 1 page

Try Xplore file manager. I use it on daily basis to manage cloud storage. It has support for all popular cloud storage services like Google drive, dropbox, box, skydive, sugarsync.

[Q] Best Cloud Sync App????

I currently have 2 dropbox accounts, 2 google drive accounts, a box cloud, and 2 sugarsync accounts. Right now Im using FolderSync to sycn all of them and it seems to be the only app that lets you sync so many different accounts. Are there anymore cloud sync apps out there that let you sync multiple accounts because FolderSync seems to be the only one.

Cloudfuze is not free, its a trial, and after that they charge $50/- a year. Check the reviews of the app.
ZeroPC has a free plan ( 39 GB ) PrimaDesk does too, although they only offer 1 GB / 10 accounts. It looks like iSpaces is another one to check out, but I'm a little hesitant to sign up for something that doesn't give much information.

This is from an article on CNET, sorry I can't post any links yet since I'm new to this forum.
"Before you begin setting up your Android device, you're going to need a Google account, be it a Google Apps or Gmail account. It's not required on an Android device, but if you're going to take advantage of all that Android has to offer, you'll want to sign up for one. You'll be asked to log in to this account during the initial setup process on your Android device. If you skipped this step and want to go back and add the account later, you can go to Settings > Accounts > Add Account > Google. This same process can be followed to add another type of account (Yahoo, Hotmail, etc.).
Contacts, Calendar and Mail
If your contacts are syncing from your iPhone to Gmail, transferring them will be a breeze. Just make sure you sign into your Android device using the same account you use on your iPhone and make sure Contact sync is enabled. For other accounts, such as Yahoo, you'll need to export your contact list from the Web site for the account. You can typically find this in settings for your account. Or, some carriers offer a free app in the App Store built specifically for transferring your contacts. Verizon and AT&T have apps that do just that.
Should you be an iCloud user, you can still use your iCloud account to sync calendars and contacts to your Android device, but you're going to have to purchase a couple of apps. I have talked about one of the apps before, called SmoothSync for Cloud Contacts; the calendar app is called SmoothSync for Cloud Calendar. These two apps will add your iCloud account to your Android device, allowing you to keep your iPad or Mac in sync with your Android device. This comes in especially useful if you're sharing an iCloud calendar with a family member and don't want to force him or her to switch to Google Calendar just because you've switched to Android.
Music
Perhaps one of the quickest steps of moving from an iPhone to Android is getting your music collection on your new device. What you'll need to do is download the Google Music app to your computer and point it at your music collection. Google will then store your music in the cloud, up to 20,000 songs for free, and let you stream it on your shiny new Android device via the Music app. Anytime you add new music to your catalog, the Music Manager app will automatically upload and sync it to your Android device for you.
If using Google Music isn't possible for you, you can drag-and-drop the music on your computer into the Music folder (create one if it's not present) on your Android device via a USB connection. Mac users will have to use the Android File Transfer app to access their device's storage.
Photos
With the introduction of iCloud and its Photo Stream service, getting photos off your iOS device is easy. Using iPhoto on a Mac, or installing the iCloud Control Panel on a Windows machine you can conveniently grab photos from your iPhone and then sync them to your Android device via USB or through your Google+ account.
For videos on your iPhone, you'll need to use iTunes, iPhoto, or a file explorer to grab the files. Using a program like iExplorer, Image Capture (found in the Utilities folder on a Mac), or the native Windows File Explorer taking the files off your device is simple.
Going forward, you can sync photos from your Android device to your computer via USB, or by installing the Dropbox app and enabling its Camera Upload feature. Rather not mess with a file explorer? The Dropbox Camera Upload feature is another method to get photos off of your iPhone and on to your computer."
Hi- Some of this information may have been posted by "Moreno2.0" but I wanted to give you some info very concisely.
1. From what I can tell, if you have already been syncing your contacts with google, you're set. If not, you may have to export your contacts and then import them into gmail (should be a relatively easy procedure.) I found the following site that may assist you with this and your music. http://goo.gl/OsGcPe
2. Google Play Music SHOULD import all your album art, etc.
3. The biggest thing about Android is the fact that if you want your phone to do something, most likely you can. You chose the #1 Android development related forum to come to, and you should definitely stay active around here (at least checking out what projects people are working on etc.) to help your experience a lot. A ton of the apps I use daily I probably wouldn't have heard about until I came here. Not everything makes Editor's Choice on Google Play.
4. I don't see how you would lose your features if you use an official update method. Most of the time you will update via OTA (over the air) and your phone will notify you that you have an update ready to install. I'm not familiar with your device's specifics, but if you check out its related forum- you may find that you can Odin (Samsung Tool) update to 4.4 or another software release in the future.
Welcome to Android, and please feel free to personally message me if you have any questions. I'm not a developer (yet, working on that), but I know quite a bit. I'm an iOS convert myself.

Spotify with different accounts but same device

Hello,
I'm trying to open spotify with different accounts on my tablet.
I would love to have some automations on tasker that would each open an instance of spotify with a different account.
So that I dont have to log off and in again each time I need a different account.
So far I have looked into programms like parallel space that would somehow clone the app to use it with a different account. However I can't find a way to open these cloned apps with tasker.
Any ideas?

[Pixel 6 Pro]Google Drive can't upload multiple files at once?

Pixel 6 Pro; A13
At some point, Google Drive on my P6P just completely lost the ability to upload multiple files in one go. Now it's only one at a time.
I've deleted cache; unintalled and reinstalled the app. Results are the same. My Galaxy Tab S5E running A11, on the other hand, can upload multiple files at once.
Has anyone experienced this? How did you fix it?
The likely problem is with google, not with the device.
Do not go to Google Drive directly.
Open the Gallery app or the Files app,
Select those files you want to Upload,
Share, then choose Google Drive and folder...

I very rarely use GD. However, I have encountered the situation that clouds have some kind of limits for a particular account. Maybe you have just exceeded the limit and that is the reason for the limitations. Are you using two different accounts or the same account at the same time?

I'm using multiple accounts for my G6P and, by extension, Google Drive.
I can upload multiple photos on my tablet (Galaxy Tab S5E) with any of those accounts, but none of the those accounts do that on the phone.
Ask a moderator to move your thread to the Pixel 6 section. Surely there will be someone who will check on their phone and respond on the matter.
