Some of you asked, so here it is : I just created a Paypal account at [email protected], and I'm accepting donations.
JP will remain free and ads free on the market for the time being, although I believe it is becoming a quality application. Donating will not give you anything more, but you will feel like you did a good action
Your donations will be converted to beer (depending on volume) and hosting for the site.
Hi all,
Please note I created a new FAQ page on the site, available here : http://code.google.com/p/justpictures/wiki/FAQ
Please refer to it when you have a question, and submit new questions via email.
cheers
Greg
These are the features of the app available on market.
and there are many more updates coming on the beta version.
To support the developer in improving the app and handset compatibilites, I will be releasing the beta versions as soon as I come across one. And I will relay the consolidated reports to the dev.
Feel free to test and post the bugs/issues you came across!
Post/Suggest if there is any new feature requests too. Thanks.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you face any problem or bugs, it would be really helpful if you send me your log using this app
CatLog - Logcat Reader!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Change Log for the Current Latest Version(Latest than the market version, thus beta or RC):
21/01/2012
6.3d Beta
Hey everyone !
Here is 6.3 beta :
Bug fixes (many small things)
File size and pixel size displayed in exifs for local photos
Adds the ability to prefetch photos in background over Wifi :
Long press the account you want to get synced in background, or create a new one
Check the prefetch option, and the tracking option and save
JP prefetches thumbnails and Medium sized photos in Background, over Wifi (not over 3G), every 10min (for now, I'll make that configurable)
The sync won't run if JP is in the foreground (avoids slowing down JP) and it will get interrupted if you open JP.
I'll add some sort of progress bar in notifications when I have the time.
*And this one stops the sync if you switch from Wifi to 3G, this avoids killing your data plan...
Please comment
Greg
Note: While posting the bugs just mention your handset model and OS.
eg: Xperia 2.1
Will give it a try ... sounds like a cool app
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
It's awesome!
Giving it a try.
HtcEvo 4G
Wrote it up for the XDA Portal, should see it soon
Is there no option to delete a single picture while viewing it? I see the delete option while viewing the gallery, but not while viewing a single picture.
Otherwise, the crop for setting a contact picture via JP worked perfectly on my DX!
Im a long time user of this apps, will give it a go for this beta..
loving the app!
Thanks all.
A new version has been updated with backup support on google cloud for 2.2 devices/
anyone with 2.2 check this functionality?
Ah, finally a decent picture app. Keep on improving it, please. I can't stand the stock Gallery.
Could you make it so the thumbnails are centered when viewing the pics inside an album? Perhaps various grid options.
Also, I can't seem to find the google cloud support, are you referring to picassa?
Multi/Batch delete would be excellent too.
Thanks!
!
Thanks, great app!
Top notch app! funny cause I was mad after the stock gallery yesterday and today I get this!
Great app, I didn't install the apk from this post, but from the market just a few minutes ago. I must say I'm rather impressed with it, but here are a couple of issues/ideas:
1) When the user is allowed to select a single option from multiple items, and where the option is stored in persistent storage for future use (such as sorting), it would be a lot better to use radio buttons so that the user can see the currently selected option.
2) Some kind of threshold in the settings for moving between pictures in full screen viewing mode would be nice. It may be just me, but I often find that I don't flick hard enough to move onto the next picture and it just stays on the current one. But it could be just my fingers being lazy
3) When resizing pictures to their original size in full screen viewing mode, the resizing seems to be done on the smaller picture rather than on the original. This leads to an ugly looking resize with lots of aliasing and other nasty amplifications.
4) When you set a display name for a remote account with the first letter in lower case it gets capitalised. How about letting the user to decide on this by not capitalising automatically?
5) On the HTC Desire the camera folder is called '100MEDIA', how about detecting this as the camera folder and putting it above all the listed albums?
Hope the stuff above helps. I've been getting rather frustrated with Gallery 3D lately, so maybe this might be just the one to replace it...
Nice and fast. Good gallery alternative.
this is apps stutter a bit when scrolling, hope it fix in the next update, i'm like it.

Hi thanks for your feedback. I couldn't test the google cloud backup as I am running on eclair.
This is for froyo droids only. It must be under the settings I guess.

Thanks for your feedback, I will surely relay the info to the developer. Meanwhile you can test the apk posted from here. this is the latest beta, 5.4g
while market version is 5.3. You can just upgrade over that one.
As you are running froyo(my guess) you can test the google cloud backup functionality as well.

For this I guess you can change the Maximum Resolution to Original under
Settings->Display Settings->Maximum Resolution->Original;
please let me know if it works or not!

5. Picture are saved in root folder of SDCard

8. Coming soon: Video Recording
How to use (Just an Example, you may do whatever you like):
1. Launch the app
2. once you have the interface running, pretend you are receiving a phone call, and it's your show time.
"Hello?" "Oh, yes~" "I am on my way" "Hello?" "Hello?"
3. then, aim your target with the camera of the phone, and :
"Huh, terrible signal" (pretend you lost the signal)
4. click "End Call", you have the picture now!
5. Go to the sdcard to check your images
more info, pls visit:
http://anjoyd.wordpress.com
How does this work for us users with SenseUI and its different call screen.
Am working on a separate version which stimulates SenseUI call interface. Hopefully i can combine these two together and make them one.
Apr.27: users will be able to choose different interface in the app later no separate versions~
Could u please post the apk for us Desire users that can't see protected apps yet. Thanks.
Seems like a weird app, but it really needs incoming call suppression.
"hey, reception is really bad"
*phone rings*
does anyone know of a winmo equivalent app ?

sorry, this is a paid app therefore I can't provide a Apk

Ok thanks. Doesn't seem good value to pay for this one when there are so many free alternatives out there.

Previews:
Love the idea
Amazing app. Although I would love to see it further into ultimate spy tool expanded with few optional features:
1. Continuous Shots feature. Ability to preset number of continuous shots and interval via options, saved each time the End button is pressed. Ability to press and hold End button and have continuous shots until button is released.
2. Option to make Caller Avatar window to show camera view. The reason for that is that sometimes, it's hard to know whether you're properly pointing your camera to catch someone, esp. for following moving targets. I have this problem with those tiny MiniDV cameras available on the market, the recorded image is always improperly pointed because the user has to guess what he is recording. The option may be off by default, can be turned on. Also, a tap on the Caller Avatar switches from fake Avatar to Camera View and vice versa.
3. Option to record video instead of photos. It's promised and I love that, but I suggest a UI solution. Tap End once to record (a message appears under the Caller Avatar to show seconds of recording. Tap Again to stop recording and close. Also, switch from Video to Photo an vice versa by tapping a control element on the screen.
4. Auto Share via email, immediately after storing it. In situations where the user may be compromised, it would be awesome if the shots cannot be destroyed by authorities, angry people, etc. I suggest email because all social networks and multi-caster such as Ping.FM, PixelPipe, Evernote, Facebook, etc. all support personal email gateway.
5. Bluetooth control. Please consider the option to trigger the app remotely using any other Bluetooth device such as another Android phone, by the same app or apps made by other developers via open API. This allows remote execution such as - watching your phone but not working with it, the other hand is in the pocket. The app can be in background. Bluetooth or online command trigger the app to the foreground, forcing the fake call. The app can take photos, record on or off videos by receiving Bluetooth commands.
wow.. amazing
is taht app available for WM 6.1 Prof in HD
thanks
nice idea but on my milestone there is a small banner there i can see the foto i want to take.
it began from the button there the call button is. the photo is black too after i try to watch it on my sd card with the phone. i use 2.1 android.
i'm going to install android to utilize that amazing app
whats your advise?
no more WM 6.1

I recently released Browsix. If you install my app, you can do the following from another PC in your local network:
Download, upload, delete, rename,... all your files using the file manager (PC <=> Phone)
View your photos.
Listen to your music.
Watch your videos
Send and receive SMS messages
All you need is a regular browser on a PC in the same local network as your phone. Just point your PC's browser to www.browsix.com and you will be redirected to your phone (without configuring Bluetooth, USB cables,...). Sounds great?!
You can find Browsix in the Android market.

Thought the same
And still waiting for more crazy users than me to try it if it is good or not.
Add me to that waiting list as well.
Tried the site and no sign of malicious activity.
EDIT - didn't realize WiFi is required. Works great!
Hi Guys,
I really appreciate your interest. Now it's up to me to convince you that we are not into spam I just thought it would be great if you could point your browser to a web page and then be redirected to your phone. That's why I developed this tool, and it took quite some time actually. Some more explanation: What we actually do is show a link on the browsix.com home page when the Browsix application is installed, you will notice that this is a local IP address (you have to be connected via Wifi). So if you click the link, you will be redirected to your phone, which will serve all the requests. The tool you install on your android phone is actually a lightweight webserver.
@Phateless: Did you try the top links on the home page. For instance, if you click the Photos link, you should see a photo slideshow. Did that not work for you? What browser are you using? Of course you will not see the photos on your phone You will have to install the application for that.
Just to make things clear: None of your data (photos, music, files, etc..) is stored on our server. We only store you local IP address.
We are still in early development so I really appreciate all your suggestions, bug reports, etc. And believe me, I'm not a spammer. Is there any another way for me to prove this?
Thanks,
Stijn

Very excited to try this out when I get home!
Bump - this is an awesome utility that everyone needs to try.
Thanks to Phateless and some other forum members I released a new version with some exciting new features:
- Upload multiple files at the same time (also included in the free version)
- Intelligent prefetching for faster load times
- Unlimited upload size
- Rename/delete files
- Better error handling
For the upcoming version I have in mind:
- Password protection
What other features would you guys like to see?
Thanks,
Stijn
Benefits over Awesome Drop.

We go a few steps further. We have separate pages for photos, music and video where you can view your media. On top of that we provide a file manager that you can use to copy/manage files between a PC and your phone, in both ways .
I also have an exciting new feature to announce!!
- The ability to send and receive SMS text messages in your browser.
I use it to respond to my text messages when my phone is on my desk and my browser is opened anyway.
This feature is still in BETA, so I hope I will get tons of feedback to further improve it.
See you later!
What's the difference between the lite and paid versions? Or is it a donate?
EDIT: Ah, nevermind. Found it on your website.
Paid version
The paid version has: Fullscreen support, Ads-free local pages, Extra file manager features and much more to come...

EDIT#2: I can't seem to get the lite version to work. My phone shows up on the webpage, but nothing happens when I click the link for it, or when I put the IP address in manually.
Hi seboj,
Were you connected via WiFi? Your computer should be in the same local network as your phone (basically behind the same router).
It's started randomly force closing on me for the last few days, when it wasn't even open that I knew of.
Any ideas?

I think both your problems have something to do with the new SMS feature (are you both using android 2.2 ?).
A bit technical: I implemented a BroadcastReceiver for the SMS messages. This means that when you receive an SMS, the receiver upgrades a counter and stores some properties of the SMS so Browsix can use them. I will add some more error checking and publish a new version to the market. (EDIT The broadcastreceiver is now only registered when browsix is enabled)
If you still have the same problem with the new version, can someone check the output of LogCat? That would be a great help.
Thanks for your patience,
Stijn
EDIT: A new version is published to the market. Please let me know if it works for you.

Can you give me a basic on logcat? I've heard the term and I'm fairly comfortable with adb, just haven't used logcat yet.
You can use
Code:
adb logcat
to print out log messages. More information can be found at http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/adb.html#logcat
I think we can find the problem if you use the following (this will print error messages, you will have to enable usb debugging on your phone):
Code:
adb logcat *:E

So I don't need to have logcat running WHILE the errors happen? Yeah I'm already rooted with debugging enabled. I've been nandroiding back and forth between Sense and CM6 about once or twice a week lately. MT4G.
With the unfortunate demise of "Droid Tropes", the (previously) only "TvTropes" app, I was feeling in need. I also wanted to learn how to write Android apps.
So I created "Android Troper" (originally named "This Troper" and re-named due to community objections):

This is my first app so don't expect anything brilliant. It's currently 'working' at best, and I'm still learning.
That being said, I would love to hear comments, ideas and bug reports, all at our Google+ page!

I'll give this a try and report in.
Edit: okay, quick first impressions and issues.
It looks pretty basic, graphically speaking. That's not necessarily a bad thing though.
You might want to add a default search bar to the first page. Took me a second to realize I had to hit menu to do anything.
I force closed (twice at once, oddly) when I tapped on the hidden text to try to make it appear.

Thanks, I'll look into it. I am planning an introduction page instead of the current loading of the home page.
When you hit hidden text - which page was it in?
Thankyou for making this app! I've been wanting to be able to read TvTropes on my phone for a while and I missed out on DroidTropes.
Works well on my Galaxy S II, I'm able to reveal spoilers without a FC and it works pretty smooth. May I suggest in future version to possibly add a quick scroll (where you can hold the scroll bar and scroll much faster) so you can jump around pages quicker? It's not necessary but it would be a nice addition.
This app is off to a great start, I look forward to future releases.

Honestly I've been trying to enable quickscroll from day 1 but I can't seem to get it to work. It gets really annoying on long pages (and most of them are :-/)
Thanks for the feedback! Please let me know if it errors/fc's!
Excellent work.
I like it!
Smaller text size support would be nice.
Hey everyone and thanks for trying my app
I just posted a small update which enables 'Actionbar' (thanks to ActionBarSherlock) and makes the app 100% ICS compatible (including phones with no dedicated 'menu' button). Also easier to read the title and/or access functions.
Hope you like it, looking forward for some feedback!
Also, my next planned feature is a welcome screen, to those who asked.
Cheers
0.2α: Download Here
Added 'Actionbar' - now fully ICS compatible (cross platform as well thanks to Action Bar Sherlock)
Removed the application name from the header (to save space, don't need it now with the Actionbar)
Great to see it being updated quickly. Two things however. It seems asterisks which reveal additional information are click able but don't actually show the information. Also there doesn't seem to be any way to access the subpages of whatever article you are on (YMMW, Fridge etc). Perhaps you could put a button in the action bar which would produce a drop down list for the sub pages available for the current page?
Keep up the good work

Thanks for the info.
Regarding the asterisks, I completely forgot that was a thing. I'll add it in the next version (Can you give me a link to a page that has it so I don't get lost in the site? )
As for the subpages, I was considering it, but it slipped my mind. I'll add it to the list
Thanks for helping!
I'm too addicted to tabbed browsing to actually use it (like to open few links in background while reading an article), but I tested it for a while and didn't found any problems. I think that there are people that will find it useful - good job .
I believe there is an asterisk at the top of the Futurama page. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/WesternAnimation/Futurama?from=Main.Futurama (right underneath the picture.)
Glad to be of assistance. I agree tabbed browsing would be nice but I imagine its not high on your to do list.
Tabbed browsing is an obvious feature to want in a TvTropes app (as the attached comic demonstrates) but it's way over my capabilities (also will probably destroy your RAM and battery ). Instead, I'm going to create a 'read later' list like there was in the 'Droid Tropes' app - I found it rather useful.
Tip: If you want to know what a link leads to (names of links in TVTropes can be confusing) long-press it, the popup's title will be the link's target.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you! Opera Mobile just doesn't cut it for tvtropes.
Could use some more features to bring it up to speed with the old DroidTropes app. However, this is still a beta and you're still learning. In light of that... 5/5, man.
I will definitely be spreading word of this. Thank you again.

Thanks for info - that was one of the things that I missed too, good to know that it is implemented, but I just didn't know how to use it .
I don't think that tabbed browsing would destroy battery. Still, RAM consumption could be rather high, but only if you would load page just after clicking and opening in background. As alternative, you can add it to tab list, but don't actually load it unless it's activated. Apart from that, you can also unload pages opened in background but inactive for long time (when amount used up ram is too high). To save bandwidth, unloaded pages can be saved in temporary files instead of just being removed from memory. Of course, these are just hints that may be useful if you'll want to implement it one day. "To read" list may work just as well as tabbed browsing.

Can you remember which page and/or text caused it to FC?
Thanks!
Just finished writing the next version. Need to stress-test it a little before I let it out to the world, but the main new feature (other than Asterisks support) is that on pages with sub-pages (name-spaces) a submenu will appear in the menu with links to all sub-pages.
Tomorrow morning (it's 2:24 AM ) I'll give it one last test, a good cleanup, and let you guys have at it.
If everything's as planned, for the next version after that I'll have a new welcome screen, and hopefully - though I'm promising nothing yet - 'read later'.
See ya guys tomorrow!
Update: Version 0.2β is up.
Changelog:
Added hidden 'additional information' support (asterisks) - thanks to Blackadder18
Added support for 'Sub-Pages' (in the menu, where available) - thanks to Blackadder18
Bugs squashed:
No longer cancels loading on touch
Slight improvement to error-handling
Some minor behind-the-scenes code adjustments.
New Known Issues:
Some 'sub-pages' may not parse correctly and throw an error. Please report those in this thread and/or the 'Issues' tab in the Google-code website.

This is a new app I have written for Android that allows you to schedule uploads or downloads from your Dropbox.
For e.g. you can back up data from your device, or you can download a new playlist onto your device every morning. There are so many possibilities. Transfering data to/from your device has become so much easier.
Uses:
You create folder-pairs on your remote dropbox and your device. An upload or download is triggered at the pre-set time. In this way you can upload photos every night, or download music every morning. Or replicate your documents across all your devices.
You could set it up (with your credentials) on some one elses device to push files or updates, or retrieve data/photos etc, so it can be used for sharing common data.
The app does not do two-way syncing (which takes up far greater resources).
Features:
Custom pipes! Direct your files to where you want to!
Scheduler
File filter - Filter which files are to be transfered
Power aware - Conserves battery can run only on WiFi or when Plugged into mains
Runs in background only when needed
Notifications
Integration
Dropbox browser with Folder upload/download capabilities
Bug Reporting:
Please report sensibly with as much information as you can.
Layout issues: Please report the device name and also a screenshot if possible.
Force closes and crashes: Please report the logs and stacktrace as well.
Errors: Please report the exact error message and steps taken that produced it.
Behavior Quirks: Please report the steps taken, and what is wrong with the behaviour.
Feature requests: I will probably implement new features after all bugs are squashed, but I would like to hear your ideas.
Distrubtion and Marketing: Help for Play Store. Suggestions for better description and Search optimisation.
Please report and issues and suggestions to [email protected]
Disclaimer:
Please make sure you have a backup of any important data you cannot afford to lose.
This app requires a Dropbox account. Get it HERE
The apps
DOWNLOAD the app here
DOWNLOAD the eXTenDeD version here
Plugins to the app:
PhoneBackup:
Its a cool tool that can backup your SMS, Contacts and Call Logs. The good thing is that it backs it up as a CSV file. That way you can just open it and see all your contacts. What is every way more cooler, is that you can edit the CSV file and restore the edited data back to the phone. It is really useful, do have a look at it.

Tasker Plugin:
You need Tasker and Cloudpipes both to use it. It allows you a greater control over when you want to run your pipes. Users of tasker will already know what to do with it!

Thank you for your help and support!!!
Made some new updates:
Allow Dropbox browsing even when transfers are running
Fixed some typos and messages
Many UI enhancements, new icons!
Loving this app so far.
Well done.
Wait. I can upload music on it? I mean choose the whole album and not just a song and upload it?

Yes, you can choose a whole album. The app supports folders and sub-folders.
In fact, even if all your songs are in the same folder, you can use the file filter to filter out your music (for e.g. a filter with "Linkin*Park*.mp3")
Yesterday I fixed a few more issues I was having with 'spaces' in folder names.
Let me know if you find any more issues!
Changelog:
Ver 0.9.3 (07/07/12)
- Fix force close on login with special characters
- Fix force close on upload folder names with special characters
- Fix force close on empty folder uploads
- Fix for saving pipes
- Fix for last run information
Password security??
I posted this comment over at AndroidAuthority
This app creator had Zero other apps in the Play Store, and the webpage has no other information about the creator(s).
I previously used DropSpace, but it had become unreliable.
This app looks fantastic, exactly what I want (one-way sync), but how can I trust this person with my DropBox username and password???

I just found this thread today, so I guess one answer is "s/he is on XDA", which lends a huge amount of credibility IMHO.
Although, before this thread, the OP has only posted twice in the last year, so not exactly the most active Dev.
Is there anything else that can assuage my concerns?
I saw one of the Play Store comments mentioned "What, no OAuth??" Is this a concern?
Seriously, this app looks like almost EXACTLY what I've been hoping for. If it works, I will gladly buy a Pro version to support the Dev as soon as it's available.

Hi ScottHW,
I think I replied to your post on the Dropbox forums too. As you can see we both joined XDA one month apart, and have similar number of posts and thanks!
Anyway, the reason for not posting is that when I initially got an Android phone I started to get into modding etc so I would come to XDA for that kind of stuff. However, when I began serious development I started visiting app dev forums; thus the inactivity on XDA.
Here is my thread on my home forum: http://www.basic4ppc.com/forum/test-my-app/18970-cloudpipes-beta-testers-required.html
More than 1000 posts in one year!
I use an IDE called Basic4Android to develop my app which is super cool and easy: http://www.basic4ppc.com/index.html
Back to your concerns. This is my first app and I have learnt a lot. I might make mistakes and would happy to correct them when people point them out, but I would not knowingly steal your passwords or data and try to keep them safe.
So what are your concerns and how can I make you feel more comfortable?
Regarding this comment:
"What, no OAuth??"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Dropbox API requires to use OAuth 1.0.
See here and here.
Therefore that comment is technically inaccurate. However, since API ver 1, Dropbox requires users to login via either the official Dropbox app or a Web Browser (and then return to the app). While this increases security in that you do not need to provide your username/password to my app (I can still access all your data once you grant permission), some people find it annoying and an unnecessary step (i.e. to leave the app to authenticate and then return back).
Either way, I plan to implement both authentication methods so this may ease your concerns too.
There will be a Pro version soon with many more added features. However first I need to iron out all bugs, and so far it is looking reasonably stable.
Looks cool, I will check it out...I can't complain with over 100GB of FREE Dropbox space that I can finally use now
I don't know how I will use it, but I am going to check out the app

100 GB!!! Was that just referrals or did you win DropQuest 2012?
This means you can back up your phone all the time! However remember that the Dropbox API restricts uploads to 150 MB per file. So uploading for e.g. nandroid backups > 150 MB, or uploading large movies will fail and you may have to use the Desktop client (I dont know if the Web interface allows more than 300 MB) or a file splitter.
You can potentially put your whole music collection on Dropbox and download the albums you want only.
Let me know how you use it and if you find it useful.

I now have implemented Dropbox Authentication through the Official Dropbox app/site, so you do not need to enter your username/password in my app anymore. This should be more secure than before.
awesome, just waht i was looking for
A new version now uploaded. I hope this is crash free, I have fixed all stability issues and reported crashes!
Changelog:
Ver 0.9.8 (22/07/12)
- App now starts on boot so pipes are scheduled even on reboot
- Fixed crashes when transfers fail or are re-tried. Transfers are now retried 5 times before they fail.
Your software is great! I restate my intention to buy a Pro version as soon as it's available. Thanks for responding so rapidly by implementing alternate authentication methods.
I have several suggestions, I hope XDA is an appropriate venue for conversing.
Right away, I would request you implement Revision checking for uploading. I know that DropSpace had this capability, so it must be present in the DropBox API, even the older versions.
If I have 350 pics in my DCIM folder, and I to back them up to DropBox, which already has copies of the oldest 320, there's no need for me to re-upload all 350. It's a huge waste of bandwidth and time.
Maybe I'm using the wrong technical terms here, but that's the general idea. I'd say it's essential to an app like CloudPipes.
More suggestions to come, keep up the great work!
Hi ScottHW,
Thanks for considering using the app.
I have many suggestions coming in and they are all in the pipeline. Once I get all of the essentials, then I will move on to a Pro version.
As you said, revision checking is essential. This is my current priority and hopefully I will get an update out soon.

Awesome work on this app. Cloudpipes is the absolute best. Saves me countless hours and time with my Nexus 7 and the lack of external SD. I can now flash at will without ever worrying about losing data.
I would like to second the revision checking functionality. would be an awesome addition. I look forward to seeing it in a future release. I would like to add one more thing I would like to see as well. I would like the ability to exclude certian files and folders via checkbox or similar mechanism (default for new folders and files would always be on of course). But this would be extremely helpful because I do not need to backup the small directories here and there that apps automatically create (i have Titanium backup for apps & their data). While I can use the file size filter to make sure 1-2gb movies are not synced, there is no way (at least that I know of) to easily eliminate some of these smaller directories that are just causing clutter in my dropbox. I would like cloudpipes to work strictly for the data I have on my storage that I need.
Lastly I would like to see the current status of the transfer, eta at current speed, current transfer rate, all from the transfers tab of the app. I know there is a percent bar in the notification window, but I would like to see more info in app.
Otherwise awesome app... absolutely loving it and really stable, zero crashes. Would gladly pay for a PRO version!!!
edit: One small bug I just noticed. Well not really a bug but more a necessary feature improvement is the ability to refresh your main dropbox directory. I changed the name of my backup folder from "test" to something more appropriate and it seems the main window is not refreshing the dropbox and loading the new folder name.

Revision checking is coming. Its a bit more complicated that I initially thought so it will be a major update, however it will be very useful to conserving bandwidth.
Regarding exclusion, I will have to think how this will work. While the back-end implementation should not be hard, I dont know how I will ask the user to exclude folders in the UI and then store them. Nevertheless I have added it to my things to do (and it is growing!!!)
Regarding more information in the transfers tab, this is a definitely planned feature. It is quite bland and devoid of useful info right now and I plan to add many things to it. Again, this is a little far behind on my todo list as essential functionality is added first.
Finally, this bug/improvement, this is a tough one. Since you renamed it from the website or desktop app those changes are not propagate to the app until you hit refresh on that particular folder. The Dropbox API does not support to notify the app of the change and also frowns upon repeated (automated) refreshes. I could set a time-out after which to refresh the file structure, but still that will not propagate the change immediately. I dont see a better solution for this apart from the user refreshing that folder as they know they have changed it. However it seems that the official dropbox app detects this change immediately so they are polling again for the change hmmm...

Regarding this point, your update that you just pushed looks like it now includes a menu and a refresh button when viewing the dropbox. Maybe i am just dumb and missed it before. But I see it now and it fixes this!! Thanks if you did in fact add it!!

It was always there You might have missed it. Note that the menu contents and the button in the action bar change depending on which tab(Pipes/Dropbox/Transfers) you are on.
Sorry for taking so long on this update, but I wanted to make sure everything was working okay.
I have released a major update, it will take a couple of hours to ripple through the Play store.
This now includes revision checking, so only files that have been modified locally or remotely are re-transfered. If the app does not detect any change in the files then it will not be transfered.
Also just in case the Settings menu now has a trouble shooting section, with an option to 'Clear sync data'. If the app starts to mess up the transfers then you can use this option to reset the sync data, so it will start afresh.
This time I have focused quite a lot on testing, and tried to remove all weird and obscure bugs. There were many reports of the files not being accessible, probably because either the sdcard was unmounted, connected to USB or wasnt ready at boot. I tried to fix more of these cases.
There were also some minor UI tweaks here and there.
The OneWaySync option is not yet enabled. I have to do some more work on it, but should not be long.
I just published an early version of an app that allows you to browse and manage the contents on your device using just a webbrowser, the only requirement is that your device is connected to the same network as the computer or tablet you use to browse with.
The Video and Image galleries shows thumbnails, and if you have the correct plugins installed in your browser you can stream audio and video without downloading.
Here's a video clip featuring the web interface:

And here are two screenshots of the server app and the web based user interface
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Download from Google Play:

If you decide to try it, please note that when you start the server it might take a while before the server is active, you will notice when notification icon "xp" is shown.
This is an early version, and if feedback shows it's worth it, I will implement ability to transfer files TO the device within a week.
I have only been able to test the app on an HTC Sensation with ICS, and an emulator running 2.2 so I can't guarantee it will work for everyone yet, just remember to send bug reports to me so I can fix all issues, if there are any.
Current features
- Browse contents
- View thumbnail galleries
- Download and Upload files from and to your device.
- Create folders, rename files and folders and delete stuff.
I would really appreciate feedback on this.
Thanks for reading.
Suggested plugins for your browser to get streaming from your device working:
Quicktime, http://www.apple.com/quicktime/?
VLC Media Player, http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html
Pretty decent and fast, but quite a bit of wasted space. Maybe you also also direct us to some of the plugins to enable video/audio playback in browser.
Not too bad actually. Streaming video seems to work well in Chrome. I'm excited to try this at home on my Google TV. That's the real test, in my opinion. Excited for some more features too.
Nice app.
Only Mp3 is being streamed. Even Mp4 starts downloading.
Thank you for all the nice feedback guys, and what a great honor to be featured on the first page
I've already implemented the below mentioned features, but need to test them through some more before publishing on Play.
1) Renaming files and folder
2) Transfering files to the device, either one file at the time or you can transfer a zip and have it automatically extracted on arrival to the device.
3) Deleting files and folders
There's also a few minor changes, and bug fixes. All (apart from a few minor non-critical) strings are in the strings.xml, so if anyone feels up to translate to another language, drop me a note and I'll send you the xml needed.
The issue with non streaming is probably a mime type misconfiguration on my part, so I'll have a look at it for a coming release.
I know there's a lot of empty space when using the web interface on a larger screen, but I'm working more and more towards having the same interface fully functional for both stationary and smaller devices, there's probably a few glitches left for me to fix in that area though...
p.s. I'll have a look around for decent plugins for streaming to web browsers, if you know of any good ones, feel free to post them here and I'll edit my first post to include links.
Cheers guys, The update will be available later tonight or by tomorrow.
smooth and fast. works better than some of the others out there. looking forward to the update :good:
Feature request.
I can't close the app, it restart again and again.
downloading it now. I can't wait to give it a go tonight

Quicktime is one. VLC works sometimes.
This sounds really great but I am kind of afraid of using it in my company network.
I really would like to run it 24/7 in my private network to have access all the time to the content, but as soon as I arrive at work my mobile connects to the company wifi and would share it there. Is there any kind of password protection or anything similar?
Yeah of course I could disabled it manually, but I am lazy and I bet I will forget it sometimes.. and I guess tasker is no option for this, is it?
Or do I get it wrong that this 'service' is also working when the mobile is in deep sleep?!
Sorry for not publishing an update yet, I will have to postpone it one more day.
I just gave the thumbnail galleries a really great performance boost, and I want to make sure it's stable enough before
releasing it..

Yeah, in the currently released version there's a setting for username and password authentication, and yes, once the server is activated it will run until it's manually closed, even if you restart the device. Next up for implementation is also a way to restrict which networks the server is allowed to run on.
Thank you all for testing and posting feedback so far.
I'll get back to work on the update and report back once it's complete.
Cheers
Version 1.02
So I just published version 1.02, but it might take a few hours before the update has propagated through all the google servers as usual.
Here's the latest additions:
Version 1.02
- Transfer files to your device, (You can also upload a zip and have it extracted once it has finished uploading)
- Rename files and folders
- Delete files and folders
- Create new folders
- Performance boost in the gallery views
So it's more and more starting to look like a file manager.
ToDo
- Multiple file uploads
- Restrict app from running on certain networks, and have it automatically start on others
- A *bonus feature* named QuickShare for those who purchased the ad-free version..
(I'm not much for limiting functionality, I'd rather like to add a few bonuses and helpful features for those who help me in return)
Please, report bugs and feature requests and post your feedback, and thanks again for your time.
Came in right when an update is going, about to try this out thanks

Had another update going as mentioned above.. unfortunately both kids got the flue and chicken pox.. bahh I hate that things like this happens exactly the same time as me being in my most creative mood!
Anyway I expect to have the update ready in about a week, so post your bug reports now for me to be able to fix as much as possible!
Known issues:
- Not always restoring the scroll position after renaming a file/folder.
- Uploaded files doesnt show up in galleries immidiately.

Amazing app!! Thanks
Is there a way to select a bunch of files using the shift key??
Enviado desde mi Galaxy Nexus --> @NicoRz
@drraptor, thanks, I've heard about "force close" but not of "refuse close", I'll have a look at it.
@deja_vu: Yeah, but use the ctrl key for multi selection. Shift key will be implemented in a couple of weeks, once I've straightened out a few other issues, dealing with navigation, but thanks for taking the time to post. I appreciate it.
Thanks for all the helpfull feedback so far! Later, I'd better go and care for the critters, cheers!
