Mine also says that it is not ready yet.
Pardon my ignorance, but what makes google drive better than my Dropbox account with 16gbs?

Nothing really. Unless you have a burning desire to put everything under your Google account.
At this time, Dropbox is actually a better solution as a lot of third-party applications already work with it. Until Google Drive functionality is adopted by these apps, Google Drive is of little value to me.
I agree. Unless it has some amazing new integration with Android, i'll just stick with Dropbox. It already works so well with android, plus the new auto-upload feature. Not seeing any reason to switch.
Microsoft sky drive is better too since it has same desktop app like drop box that syncs everything and you get to keep 25 gigs if you signed up for it originally otherwise 7 gigs.

I've got a buddy at work that's a hardcore Windows Mobile fanboy and has raved about the Sky Drive. Does it integrate with Android though? I couldn't find a way when i looked into it a few months back.

I agree with you about sky drive, but correct me if I'm wrong, it does not support android or has an android app.
No, but with lte through Web browser it's not so bad.

Here you go guys. This is the comparison chart, and its confirmed sky drive does not supported android.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/skydrive/compare
o yes just so you know google has a sync app for windows just like dropbox and skydrive.
I agree with above. When and if Google drive receives the same leave of 3rd party support, then I'll leave drop box. Google drive reminds me of the hacked app gdrive from back in the day that took advantage of a JavaScript bug in gmail and let u use it as a personal online storage

Google Docs has been around for a while, you have a 2gb limit. It was said to be Gdrive back when it came out. I guess they redirect you there to the meantime, until Gdrive is opened up to all.
Google docs is now google drive. Its updated to 5gb. Also has a pc app that functions like dropbox.

cant download zip files to phone yet though.... although apks work...
It's taking a long time for Google to prepare my Google drive. I'm on the grandfathered 20gb plans not sure if that's delaying the activation.
Update: Lol 1 min after my post Google emailed me my drive is ready. Took around 12 hours from initial request.

I recently bought a Nexus 4 and I would like to avoid losing it.
I'm very careful, but being it an object of 350 bucks, I would like to be extremely careful.
Does anyone had a good experience with an app and can suggest it? I have no problem in spending some money on it, but it must work with/without internet connection (so I can save my phone with an sms if there isn't internet connection).
Actually I found "Locate My Droid" but I noticed there are various apps of this type, so before buying a PRO version I would like to know some well known names where I can choose from.

I found it useful, however is missing SMS support to locate my phone, that's why I'm asking. I have airdroid but didn't know it has location capabilities.
I think cerberus is one of the best out there

Yea one time fee it's a must, I don't want any monthly/yearly fee, otherwise I'll spend enough money to buy a new one
Thanks a lot for all this suggestions guys, I'm reviewing all those apps.
TrustGo, also one of the best antivirus apps for android according to tests, yet free
I've used SeekDroid and Cerberus. Out of the two Cerberus is the best hands down. The small one time fee has paid itself off numerous times now. Just my 2 cents.

Okay I am not sure if this the right place to start this thread, moderators please feel free to move it.
But more importantly the app I am looking for is a app which can control the bandwidth each app uses in the phone.
Why am I looking for this app.
I use a 1 gb 3g Internet package and I use Tango to video chat with my gf. Due to this tango sucks like 500 kbps and I run out of Internet juice very early. Now the thing is tango works fine with 50 kbps too. But how do I control how much bandwidth tango takes.
Please note I am not looking for the app to tell me or warn me of my usage but to limit it as in if my 3g gives me 5mbps I want to cap it at 1mbps.
So any one knows a app that can do this please reply.
Also I have exhausted my Google and xda search skills for 2 days looking for something like this but seem to have no luck. Hence this thread.
Thanks

Anyone?

I have spent a almost 12 hrs now looking for a app that does this and still getting nowhere. The closest I cam was a app that let's u decide which app uses 3g and which uses wifi. That is nothing regarding limiting my Internet speed.

Droidstats pro can do it. But you have to pay $$.

Thanks but Droidstats premium doesn't have any features to set the cap on bandwidth.

Ya
U might have been shocked to see this app free after u purchased it lol
I have purchased long before and already used alot so no regrets. Also I got with offer from sygic website. Rs 1500 for 2 licence. Also each licence you can use in 5 different device. So it was just negligible price.
But one good reason to believe this free is
When i have see option to purchase from sygic app, all other countries have price tag but for India it shows get free from play store.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
I can't find a paid version on mention of a trial or the app asking me to pay for it. I guess they really made it free.

Hey fam, u guys familiar with DROPBOX? Just found something better @ "Copy"... "Copy" is a new cloud-based service provider kinda like Dropbox but with BETTER features. You get 15 GB with the sign up ( vs dropbox 2GB) and each time someone u refer joins copy, u both get 5GB extra ( vs 500MB dropbox) . If you want to headstart with 20 GB , follow this link link removedhttps://copy.com?r=Aex6gq . This is the best competitor to Dropbox or any other cloud companies. TRUST ME!
EDIT: After registering, please make sure to check ur email for verification purposes and download the app frm the market. ENJOY!!

Barracuda Networks is huge! I believe they were the first cloud storage company at least 15+ years ago CARBONITE. They also have one if the best antivirus server backbone systems next to TrendMicro.
Good find!
