If you don't have a SugarSync account, click HERE to open one and get 5.5GB of initial free space instead of normal 5GB without a referral.
Steps to get the EXTRA 2GB:
1) Log-in to SugarSync
2) Click on "Getting Started"
3) Click on "Give 20 friends free storage, and we'll give you 2GB"
4) Choose account and choose 20 emails that SugarSync will send an e-mail (they technically don't have to be your friends...)
Note : I suggest you change your password after your log-in (just in case...)
None of the Google Applications support external storage, Gmail 4.1.2 won't send documents attached from an external sd card, Play Movies & TV won't allow you to specify a external card as a storage location, pinned Google Drive documents can't be stored on an external card, Play Music sucks up internal memory. Try sending an attachment using Gmail from a Motorola Xoom, a "Google Experience Device" - it looks like it's attached during composition but won't send. When contacting support I'm told this is expected behavior - see below.
Anyone else running into this?
How do we get Google to support this? Most other email applications support it, but as a Google Apps Enterprise user I want and expect the native Android email application to work.
I use external storage on a Galaxy Note 10.1, Galaxy S3, Razr Maxx and Transformer Prime

Hi John,
Thanks for your message.
I have been able to determine the reason that you're not able to attach files from SD, as follows:
- The default storage path is pointing to the internal storage, which is supported, rather than an external storage path such as SD.
- The Gmail app itself, as it uses APIs behind the scenes, is not able to load attachments from the external path, only from the default (internal) path.
- I've been able to find an error that results when trying to perform this task, as follows (and as an example):
ERROR/Gmail(4494): file:// attachment paths must point to file:///mnt/sdcard. Ignoring attachment file:///Removable/sdcard/sample_file.pdf
In terms of /mnt/sdcard you see above, this is pointing to the internal/onboard storage. For '/sdcard/', this is actually a symbolic link which points back to /mnt/sdcard (the internal storage).
The removable (SD) card points to /Removable/sdcard, which Gmail cannot access via API, as this returns the internal storage location. The API also cannot access other directories such as /mnt/external1 or another location.
Based on all of the above, our technical teams have concluded that this is the current/expected behaviour for files coming from SD, as there is no way to access them via Gmail, and they can only be attached when coming from onboard/internal memory. In short, it is a limitation of the API John. From a technical point of view, it will be possible to attach files that are from SD, but are nested (sub-directory) inside /mnt/sdcard, however, I understand this may not be feasible or convenient.
I understand that this is an important distinction and requirement for you John, however, the above information is what I can provide you with. I will still suggest using the recommendations earlier of IMAP in Email application, or, files coming from internal/onboard storage in Gmail app over API (in the background).

I just tried on my s3 and managed to attach from the external and send here.

Okay is there an app for this? If both people had the same app and of course had android... Like where I could upload something and they could download it like a mms, or would I have to use cloud sharing? Also which is the best cloud sharing and easiest for both pc and phone? Skybox/Cloud whatever microsoft calls it, dropbox or? I'd like one where I could upload everything from a pc with no transfer/UPLOADING required, just drag ad drop, plus the most storage would help.
Like WhatsApp? But max it allows is 12 MB I believe. For larger sizes I just put it on dropbox and link them to it.
Talking about best cloud service, I don't really know Cuz I don use much of cloud services.
PS - you could just mail em. for larger sizes, Google automatically does it with Google drive.
life!
Yea since posting this, I discovered es file manager has the best cloud storage options, it has 8 cloud services ya can log into (Box, SugarSync, Dropbox, Skydrive, G(oogle)Drive, S3 Amazon, Yandex and Ubunto One) I got WhatsApp so I'll have to try and talk my gf into downloading that for easier file sharing. So far she's just been logging into my cloud's and asking me to load this and that. hahaha
A new cloud service called COPY there is no limit for the downloads(if i remember correctly) and for limited time you get 15gb.
Also when you refer someone you get an additional 5gb
Go to the referral thread for this stuff.

Hello, After using cloud storage apps on my android, I am left wondering why cloud services don't support the basic feature of downloading to the device by default? At least an option would be nice.
I am looking for a free cloud storage service which can download the data to the android device automatically. Dropbox doesn't do this on it's own.
One example I have found is Dropbox + Dropsync.
Its good but I am looking for a free service.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
