Everything I have is in the Google Universe. Well mostly that is, Android, Chromebook, Gmail and all of that. I have always used dropbox and enjoyed using the auto upload picture feature. Well since I have been moving over to drive I am being almost forced to give up dropbox. I am annoying that with my Windows PC that the even the full size auto upload to G+ doesnt show up in drive. Its a completely separate animal. It uploads to G+ but what If i want to use that pic on, lets say facebook, I guess I have to download it to my computer then upload it? since it doesnt just go into a drive folder? anyone know of a way to make it just go into a drive folder? or what they use to auto upload pics?
Dropbox, auto upload when I plug in my phone for charging and when it's not being used + connected to WiFi

How can you restrict the upload to power charging only? There is no such option in the app, do you use external tools for this?

I have a Nexus S phone and a Galaxy Tab 10.1. What would be the best way to transfer files between the two devices directly? I've been using Dropbox for the occasional file but I need to move a good number of files quickly. Any ideas or app suggestions?
Get the USB adapter for the Tab, plug in a mulit-card reader, and stick the Micro SD card from your phone in that.
Or just use Bluetooth File Transfer:

For simple, small file it is recommended to use Bump. Its kinda fun and available for other platforms as well.
For larger, quick file transfer, it is up to you to transfer data using usb cable connecting to a single pc. If you have a wifi connection between the devices, you are free to use any wifi transfer software in the market. FTP function come 2nd to that.

If theyre both on wifi, i recommend using an app called websharing. You can turn websharing on on one device and type in the ip of that one in the browser of the other device and access files. Pretty convenient. Been transferring stuff from my vibrant to my gtab with no problems. Not too fast but certainly one of the easiest ways right now
how about dropbox .. check my signature ... thats how i transfer files from tablet to phone to Mac to PC .. etc

I've been using Dropbox as well to transfer albums and large pdfs from Mac/Nexus One to SGT as there's no other way to turn the SGT into a MSD on Mac. Websharing sounds like an interesting way to cut out the middle man. Thanks.

Well, it's quite useful. I was using the trial version from long time. After owning this tab, I upgraded to full version so that I can utilize the multiple files transfer at once. I don't regret my purchase.

Hello! How well does a Galaxy S3 play with Mac OS X? I saw that Kies is avaliable for Mac OS X, so syncing multimedia shouldn't be a problem. But are there any problems or missing features I should be aware of?
Thanks, zlayaa
Kies works fine. Or just use android file explorer which is a free download and your phone shows up as a usb and you can drag and drop.
Also Kies allows to sync music pics and videos as well as backup of apps so I guess it does have everything

I think there is also Easy Sync to migrate your possible iOS phone data to your S3. It also enables using one of your iTunes backups.
www.3g.co.uk/PR/June2012/samsung-easy-sync-easily-transfer-content-from-iphone.html
You can also drag and drop items from iTunes into Kies...movies, music, playlists, etc.
Tapped That

No way, Macs are far superior
I hope it helps. I have posted a way to sync all your music and playlists from itunes into your ext-SD card of your GS3 wired (usb cable much faster than wifi). I have included it into a thread called "why can't sync my music playlist " (samsung Galaxy S III I9300> Galaxy S III Q&A)

Hey all, I have been looking everywhere for an app or method to remotely transfer files to AND from my android device from my pc, without the restriction of having to be on my local network wifi. I'm beginning to think there may not be one available, although I can't see why not.
Any Ideas?
If all you need is file transfering, try an FTP server.

Dropbox?
Pocketcloud, or teamviewer used with dropbox can accomplish this. Remote access your pc, copy file to dropbox, and download to sd card. A little tedious, but works for me.

Those all sound like they need WiFi, sounds like he's look to use Bluetooth? I mean you got to use something.
Agreed that dropbox or similar cloud storage may be your best bet. Just set up the desktop client to sync to a folder on your computer, and to go back to your phone, you can use a program like Dropsync, which offers two way syncing between phone and dropbox.

I vpn into my work network and then use es file explorer to get the files I need.

I wish somebody could get sshdroid or quicksshd to work over 3G or 4G, but I don't know enough about VZs network. If that works for somebody, then let me know.
One could use Tasker to maintain a VPN connection. I use VPNRoot.
Team viewer now can control droid remotely.
A phone as a PPTP server would be ultimate.

I am looking for an app to sync folders from internal/external cards to a Pen Drive by leveraging the USB OTG capability of S3.
I found a very basic app on playstore called Folder Sync
This app syncs only one folder.
Please suggest a solution for this. Thanks!

Thanks for your response. I do use Dropbox but downloading and uploading data consumes battery, takes more time and bandwidth as opposed to backing up on a pen drive.
Dropbox works for me when backup set is small in size.
Any app which can sync to pen drive will be nice

WiFi Direct - it is only WiFi connection between devices. You need to use some applications or services like FTP, NFS, Samba, etc. to transfer files over this connection.

MySelfAjay, we are building an app that does exactly just that. The app is called Drop, and it is a simple, fast, and secure way to share files with people/devices in proximity. We are going into a limited Private Beta soon, so if you're up for the challenge, (and running Jelly Bean) then sign up at www.get-drop.com. Seats are limited, and we have a rolling enrollment, so check it out.
I always use SuperBeam for direct file transfer. You can download it from play store. It's simple and fast.
At the source device you can select shareing > superbeam. The program make a QR code on the screen. On the target device you can start superbeam scanner and it scans the code from the source's screen. After that the they are syncronising each other and files transferring.
It's very simple
