Hey guys!
As i'm sure most of you are aware you can get a 50GB free box account with your touchpad. But you can easily create MULTIPLE accounts by simply logging out in the app and creating a new account. Then you have 100GB free over 2 accounts!
You can add both or more box accounts to your touchpad accounts anyway
Just thought I'd share
Is there any kind of desktop sync software, like what Dropbox gives you? If not, maybe I'll just use Box as long-term storage for things I'm not using regularly. Clever idea about the multiple accounts by the way

Box.net don't provide one without changing your subscription to a paid one. But software such as Gladinet will allow you to mount it as a drive in windows. You can also add multiple accounts too

If you are running Windows, you can use WebFolders. It doesn't give you sync, but you can drag & drop files in and out of box.net with explorer. Just google 'box.net webfolders'.

I tried that, but couldn't get it to work. It connected but wouldn't allow me to upload anything!
Still Gladinet works perfectly and is free
It says with the free edition of Gladinet that you only get 1000 file transfers per task...Any idea what this means??

From what I gather it means you can't say paste more than 1000 things at once. I have uploaded 30GB of photos in a batch without any problems
I uploaded about 2GB of photos to box.net thinking that I can look at them on the TP. However, when I go to look at them on the TP's box.net, it is so slow to the point where I can't scroll the pictures filename list. And there is no preview or miniturized picture icon so you know what you are looking at (like on a PC). To see the picture you have to click each filename and wait for the whole file to download. The process is painfully slow. Guess it's only good for "parking" your files.
Also there is a filesize limit of 25MG unless you pay. This makes it all a bit of a waste of time for me, even Microsoft Skydrive is better (although has no app).

Did you mean 25MB? If it was 25GB that would be awesome lol. But if you did mean 25MB, then you are wrong, on 50GB accounts, the filesize limit is 1GB per file, trust me I've already tested this and it works

<blush> yes I meant 25MB. I created a box.net account on my PC before my touchpad arrived then logged into it on my Touchpad & assumed that this would upgrade my account. Then I tried to upload a couple of video files from my PC but got an error message about the 25MB size limit. My account settings show a 50GB capacity. Where am I going wrong?
PS their website states:
The free personal account has a file size limit of 25 megabytes. Please note that you can fill your 5 gigabytes of space with as many files as will fit, but no one file may exceed 25 megabytes. To remove this restriction, you may upgrade to a paid account which will allow you to upload files as large as one gigabyte.

That is really odd, I've successfully uploaded files that are nearly 100MB in size with no problems, I haven't had the patience to do any movies etc yet. I would try creating a brand new account on your touchpad and see if that still has problems. Maybe there is an issue converting your current account.
I'll ss when I get to work, but my max filesize was 1gb.
Nope, I created a new account directly from the TP after uninstalling & reinstalling the app, still get the same error message.

I'm doing a test with a much bigger file right now, and so far it is working successfully and has already surpassed 25mb.
Can you confirm that you have created the new account from the BOX.NET application which was downloaded from the HP App Store?

Yes, I didn't do anything via a browser except try to upload a file.
is there really no way to listen to music i uploaded to box.net without having to download each file......even using the browser doesnt work, this sux
edit...found out how to do it...share your folder, logout, then hit the url to your folder then you can play files through the browser....for some reason if u login it wont let you play in browser

Hey All,
Just wanted to update this thread to say that a few people on PreCentral had a very similar problem to the OP, and it seems that BOX.NET has changed it's terms for newer registered users.
It seems that if you register now, you get put on a 'LITE 5GB' account, this means that while you still have your 50GB, you can only upload up to 100MB per file.
Those that have the 1GB files size limit should have accounts called 'Personal +50GB'
You can check this by logging into BOX.NET, then going into My Account, then Settings, and scrolling all the way to the bottom of the screen. Would be curious to know what it says for you guys. Hope this helps!
Account type: Lite (5GB)
Max file size: 100 MB
edit:
i also noticed you can't directly link you image unless you upgrade
I have dropbox on my Phone and GT7510.
On my computer, i can make a folder that automatically uploads its contents to my Dropbox. Is there a way to make a folder like this on my phone and or tab? Or do I have to upload files one by one?
I see on the Market a paid app called "Sync Folder with Dropbox". Is this the app I need or is there a free way within the Dropbox app?

Dropbox for Android has some significant limitations in which folders you can and cannot synchronize. RealSync gives you much more control. I like it much better. I don't have any experience with the other app, so I cannot speak to it.

One question though.
Can we revoke the access we gave to our Twitter and Facebook accounts after the free space got added? If we do so, will we lose the extra space we got?

Worked for me.
I tossed a bunch of jpeg images and a little over 4 gigs of mp4 video files into a folder within DCIM folder on an SD card and let dropbox sync it via their new autosync feature. Worked like a charm.
How many apps in total do you run on your KIW - 5x device ? How to manage the space in it ?
Is the space sufficient in it ? 10Gb ( Both On Stock and Custom ROM's )

How sufficient space on this device is, depends only on you and your usage...
For example, in my case: I have 100+ apps (just apps, no games; some of those are realy heavy apps, like Lightroom Mobile or Photoshop Express, or use huge amounts of data - K9 with 5 mail accounts, synced Firefox etc. and have no support for external storage) on my Honor 5X. Around 5GB of internal free atm, but I do have a 64GB SD in place for pictures, music, files, backups, downloads etc. My previous device too was with 16GB total/10GB available internal memory, with 32GB SDcard, it was more than enough for my needs.
I'm always going with SD card for user data and music, and internal for app installs and necessary data. Whenever an app can use external storage (navigation, camera, etc.), I'll configure it that way - maps are usually huge (HERE maps for EU itself are ~20GB, for example; for my region only maps are ~5GB), camera can save on external - safer for you to backup and keep if you're flashing, anyway etc.

I have 50-60 apps installed. 9 of them are games. Not much size but 2K17 is 2.5GB. Internal storage is quite enough for me. I still have 3GB left. For your storage allocations you can use Link2SD. Been using that since Gingerbread days.

I have a questions i saw few mods for other phones these mods give free storage on Google photos Pixel 6 is my new phone before im using oneplus 7 with PixelExperiance on these rom i have free space
Just send a text to Google and ask for your free stuff.
Use code: "free stuff now"
Pixel phones have free Google Photos storage. There's no need for a custom ROM or any mod.

No they don't not any more. This is not the case for Pixel 6 and 6 pro.
Google Pixel owners will still get these Google Photos storage perks going forward
Google has long offered perks to Pixel phone owners on Google Photos, some of which still apply under the company's new storage terms.

Just subscribe to Google Drive. At £1.50 for 100GB a month it's hardly expensive.
In fact you can earn that much a month using Google Rewards then use the credit to pay for it
So... pay gooble so that you can feed them your private data? Wouldn't it be better to store your data on your own equipment?
I have 2 google accounts on my devices, when the 1st account got full, I just swapped my 2nd accound and voilá. =D
Any phones up to Pixel 5 still get unlimited Storage Saver in Google Photo, you can simply grab an old Pixel, setup a 2-way sync with FolderSync/SyncThings between the 6's DCIM folder and voila, free photo storage.
I am not sure about you, if there is such hack, I think Google can simply terminate your account and you lose everything, does this worth it to you?

I have an OG pixel and this is what I do. I use Resilio Sync. Pretty easy to set up. I used to leave the OG Pixel plugged in with a max charge set at 50%. Not taking many photos lately so just turn it on to sync occasionally.

Google just sweetened the deal today.
They have included links to free cloud services. Dropbox, Box, Amazon cloud are just a few.
Pixel Experience, Evo X can offer unlimited back up (no original quality though).
But depends on the ROM & the device & if the dev is going to bake that into the ROM or not.
Root method barely works anymore if you update apps to often :<
With 128 gb of storage, I don't necessarily need to back up to Google photos anymore. After they changed terms last, I stopped, but, the previous backups don't count against my 15 gb storage on Drive. Actually I have 17 gb, due to a promotion way back when, I took the security settings tour. So, now a days, I'm a Amazon prime member, which gives me unlimited photos storage, which is nice, that my wife's Amazon tablet gets the copies automatically when ever I fire up the hotspot to download movies to it. Plus, I can clear storage on my old devices if I really wanted to, and transfer copies there too. For now, I'm using a few of Simple Mobile apps, one calander, and now their gallery app. Amazon photos does the automatic uploads when I'm plugged in. My biggest storage issue, is clearing out most of the 8 gb of Gmail I have neglected. Google Photos, Gmail, and Drive are all on that 17 gb free storage limit.
I was using google photos not to backup pictures from my phone (i do that on my pc) but to upload pictures taken with my camera from different trips and create albums which i share with my friends and colleagues. Now i found the perfect free alternative to google photos - yandex disk. Currently they offer unlimited free storage for photos with original quality. I don't know for how long this will continue but it works great for now.

Is there any custom rom for the P6 that has the unlimited gphotos hack?
I think there is no custom ROM with hack for the " unlimited gphotos hack".. hacking is illegal and there is no custom ROM with that sort of hacks.
For 1.99 euro you have 100 gb of storage.

Umm, I think you're wrong. Not about the lack of custom ROMs with an "unlimited Google Photos" hack, but hacking itself.
It's legal to modify Android. It's a little less cut and dry whether it's legal to modify Google apps, such as the BSG Camera app mods found on XDA, but the issue of legality is moot anyway.
Both Google Camera and Photos can detect which device they are installed on and will adjust their feature sets accordingly. The only way I know of to enable unlimited storage is to change the device fingerprint to a Pixel 1 / XL, and I'm not even sure THAT will work. If you were to succeed the apps would think you had a Pixel 1 / XL and would configure themselves appropriately. That would mean no Magic Eraser, no astrophotography mode, and none of the other features that Google has put into its phones over the last several years.
Trading all the added features available for the Pixel 6 camera and the Photos app simply to gain the ability to store unlimited numbers of photos is simply not worth the hassle. As you point out, Google 1's offer of 1.99/month for 100GB of storage is totally reasonable if people are that concerned. Or they can take the time and manually do it themselves using their chosen cloud storage solution.
One big issue nobody talks about or is completely unaware about is that everytime you download or store any media like movies, not only does the original space of the movie gets occupied, the media storage app in the phone magically increases the exact same amount of storage usage. You could verify it yourself by going into storage and select the view system apps option. So for example if you download a 2 gb movie, instead of going from 62-60gb storage space, it goes from 62-58gb storage space. This is very big issue which is also faced by many OnePlus devices. You cannot force stop the media storage app or delete any data or cache in it. The only temporary solutions which worked for some is deleting the recycle bin data, clearing unwanted data using files app and maybe resetting your device but the fact that this issue exists is a huge problem and is still unresolved for many users. I hope someone might be able to solve this issue or could at least help make realme aware about this issue.
Google has already solved it with Pixel 5. But Chinese manufacturers seem, kind of, lost in translation
Jokes apart, I have this same problem with OP 9RT and am really tired of deleting my videos, photos again and again..... Android 12 didn't solve it and after Oxygen OS 12 I have little hope that Android 13 will be any better.

I think I might have been wrong, after further inspection the Google files app showed the proper storage. I think it may be a problem of the storage app showing wrong storage for some reason instead of actually losing storage. I don't remember correctly if the issue was on the storage options in setting or Google files itself.

Are you sure?
Asking as I also used many Storage apps, like SD Maid etc. and some of them actually did not show the space taken by Media Storage app! As per them the storage was fine and free there.....
But then I found out that when the Media Storage size went over 50-52Gb, I couldn't install a huge game, like Genshin in my phone any more as Play Store showed the message that I have to uninstall some apps to make space!!!
So apparently, at least in my 9RT, the Play Store/System is considering the space shown in Media Storage as real!
This is the present situation in my phone, after many resets ....
Out of this 40Gb apps, the Media Storage is taking 30Gb....
Which, by now, I'm sure is consisting of that 25Gb videos and other app data
All I can hope for now is by some miracle, OP fix it or that Google brings the Pixel 7 to India...... as at least they listen to the Bug reports and do solve them even if it takes some time. OP 9 Pro has this problem since launch, and by now, in almost 1 year One Plus couldn't solve it....so I really have very little hope from them now.

How much storage do you have left? Cause I just looked into and remembered that you don't have to worry too much about the media storage app taking your space cause I don't think it actually affects your space even though it shows in your settings.
My phone has a total internal space of 256gb(my phone doesn't have a sd slot also) and as you can see, I've only used 204gb of my space but adding all the storage shown below(especially the video and app storage) I've almost used 300gb space which is almost impossible.
Another example is my Google files app which literally shows I've used 297gb even though my phone literally has a 256gb internal storage. So I think it's safe to assume that the media storage app doesn't actually cause much issue and you don't have to worry about it too much.
Interesting!
My Google Files is showing I have 66GB free (out of 128GB). But Downloads(4.1)+Videos (25) + Docs (4.7) + Apps (40) is totaling to 73.8GB. That comes to a total of 74+66 = 140GB!!!!
Now, taking that (as per Files) I have 66GB free, I have used up 62GB already. That may be as - Videos(25)+Downloads(4.1)+Docs (4.7)+ about 28GB of System, may be? I don't have any idea how much space Android 11/12 takes now a days....
Tomorrow I will fill my phone with some more videos to take the Media Storage app size to around 60GB at least (need some 35GB of movie files, which fortunately I have This should make the device think that I have used up all of my 128GB (incl. system) space. And then I will again try to install Genshin/WOT Blitz/Grid , any one game of about 3-4-5GB and see what the system says......
As it's past 12:30 at night in my end, I'm switching off for today now....Will report tomorrow about the storage experiment! Take care, bye!

My Google Files is showing I have 66GB free (out of 128GB). But Downloads(4.1)+Videos (25) + Docs (4.7) + Apps (40) is totaling to 73.8GB. That comes to a total of 74+66 = 140GB!!!!
Now, taking that (as per Files) I have 66GB free, I have used up 62GB already. That may be as - Videos(25)+Downloads(4.1)+Docs (4.7)+ about 28GB of System, may be? I don't have any idea how much space Android 11/12 takes now a days....
Tomorrow I will fill my phone with some more videos to take the Media Storage app size to around 60GB at least (need some 35GB of movie files, which fortunately I have This should make the device think that I have used up all of my 128GB (incl. system) space. And then I will again try to install Genshin/WOT Blitz/Grid , any one game of about 3-4-5GB and see what the system says......
As it's past 12:30 at night in my end, I'm switching off for today now....Will report tomorrow about the storage experiment! Take care, bye!

Hi!!!
Became so busy I couldn't come to this thread.....
As per my last post, I filled up my phone towards up to 60GB and yup, my total storage went well over 128GB as per Files app And yeah, Play Store didn't let me install a small game of about 10MB as it showed the message of no space available.
Lost the screenshots, as I hard reset the phone again on the advice of some OnePlus customer care service provider. No result, it's still the same......

So i guess apart from installing new apps after the fake storage filled situation, i guess we won't be having much problems.

Well, lol, looks like that....
The short time I had with my Phone being over 128GB in size, it performed normal tasks well, no lag. But, can we record Videos/photos in that situation? As I just hard reset my phone, it will take some time to get filled up again. So I suppose, this time you'll have to test if we can record videos when our phones get well over their storage limits , provided you have the time off course
Did you by chance try using a third party app store or apk files for installing apps when the storage was "overfull"?

Never used any Third Party App Store. It was pure Android 12 issue which OnePlus developers didn't have the time to fix. It is solved now in Android 13.
