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

Hi Stijn, I believe you now. Didn't realize you had to be connected via WIFI, I thought it was like Awesome Drop which operates via 3G. http://labs.dashwire.com/drop
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

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.

Is IE needed for remote view to work?
It's all skewed on Firefox 4

I dont think so. I tried everything on Chrome and it works fine. Did you change the setting from 16-bit to 32-bit? If not, do it
Ie9 and FireFox 4 they doesn't work... they have some issues with css but i hope to fix it very soon... i have an update ready far this week
I read on the comments that someone lose connection when the screen locks. This is a setting of the phone in Wi-fi settings. You have to disable from advanced settings. I'm preparing a faq for this .
Thanks to all for your comments.
The double sms on some phones is going to be fixed (already fixed... just wait the update )
Thanks to all for your feedback.
I've already prepared other web app like a web terminal (yeah... entirely written with a my native library... first experiment ) and a file manager that are ready, but before release i wanna just fix some bug , and make the damned camera working -.-'.
If you think other web app can be useful simply tell me ... i will see what i can do...
I'm still working to make the interface compatible with IE9 and Firefox 4... just give me some time...

Awesome update. Works like a dream now. I have a feature request though. In remote view, it would be cool to open apps using your mouse. Like for example, you click on Market and the market app opens. And you can scroll through the market and install apps without even having to physically touch your phone. I dont know if it's possible but it sure would be cool
I've already done this... but i've removed because it was too slow... uhm... maybe i can do something with silverlight or java... maybe a java applet...
I forgot to say that both camera and remote view can be used with a driver as a normal Windows Image Acquisition Device... so you can use skype or what you want... you need a driver that you can get here http://dl.filekicker.com/send/file/226163-6E45/IPCameraDS.exe, and this is the homepage http://www.webcamxp.com/home.aspx It's free for personal use.
For Camera you have to set http://<YOUR_IP_ADDRESS>:<YOUR_PORT>/Services/Camera/GetStream
For Remote View you have to set http://<YOUR_IP_ADDRESS>:<YOUR_PORT>/Services/RemoteControl/GetStream
To use this feature you have to disable authentication...
I've relased another update after a day full of work!
- Remote view improvements. Automatic recognition of settings. Now works on all phones.
- Web interface now works with Internet Explorer 9, but is slower and does not support Mjpeg stream (IE doesn't support). Use Chrome if you want full functionally.
- Sms dynamic loading fixed
Contact me for everything!
Can you add a computer notification (ie pop up, sound etc) for the usb connection when you recieve a text or notifications on your phone? Also, answer calls on your phone? Haha just some thoughts.
Hope you make the SMS more streamline. Ajax updates ... display photo ... etc.
Anyway you have intentions to add a File Explorer so we can transfer files into our phone from your web interface?
I'm just working on the File Manager...
Can you explain better what you are saying about sms?

Thanks you berserker for the post, I've already bought the paid version.
A question: I like like the possibility to start at boot, always run in the background and activate itself only when on wi-fi (at work and at home).
But I keep getting notifications (in the notification bar and toasts) which kind of annoy me.
Could you add a "silent mode", always run in the background without notification (if I have a problem with the app I could open the interface and see whats going on, if tis active or not)?
Or could you at least add an option to hide it from the notification bar? I know that the android system could stop it automatically if it doesn't reside in the notification bar but :
- I like to have only notifications in that bar, the more apps use that space the less useful it becomes
- on latest devices we have at least 512MB RAM so apps closed by the garbage collector is not a real issue (I run WidgetLocker without the notification and it was "garbaged" only 3-4 times in 6 months)
Thanks again for the app, even with the small issue above is still the best Android ftp server (and I say this after testing almost all of them)

Btw I can easily add it for the next release since you know what you are doing (maybe with an alert for other users).

Looks good but i was just wondering on the speed.
Is there a automatic cap for speed or can one be set manually.
If i wanted too say move a 100mb file from one phone too another or too pc could i set the speed level so it does not disrupt any other services i have running on wifi.
I would like too be able too lower speed so it just does the job in the background.
Iv not tried this or downloaded it yet,but do intend too but was just wondering about the speed thing.
I see from the small list of thing you wrote that they are pretty much just the same as what can be done with bluetooth.Could you tell me the advantage of using this over normal bluetooth.
I don't have bluetooth on any laptop/pc in my house so thats one gain id say,any others ?
Thanks looking like a great app at the moment.

Hi, most of the times the speed must me as high as possible and you probably known that Bluetooth is slow compared to WiFI (it's an advantage even if you don't need it ). Other advantages are: public access, users management, folders restriction and all the FTP stuffs in general (moreover you already wrote that not all devices are equipped with bluetooth).
I take a look in the Pure-FTPd documentation (please remember that this is a native port of the same application that runs on most FTP servers, so the "feature" must be supported by Pure-FTPd itself) and it seems that bandwith limit is supported (more info here at "BANDWIDTH THROTTLING" chapter). I'll have a look on it for the next release

yeah bluetooth is pretty slow but it is also consistent for me.
For me since i have around 3-5 devices connected too my wifi at any one time(not including phones) i find attaching other devices that the norm would be for the device too try obtain the more bandwidth.
Basically all device are trying too get the most bandwidth at one time so if i could restrict what i would see as less important devices(phones) too a limited speed then there would be less strain on the network for other users laptop/pc etc.
Just my thoughts by the way and not by any means a criticism of the app.
thanks again for reply good luck with this i will be testing it today at some time so if i have any feedback ill let you know.Thanks for the link also ill give it a read.
I will buy if you can change the icon to match the stock nexus theme. Eg, a flat grey outline no color something that matches like the "alarm" icon in the status bar.
Nice app, deserves a traslation

Thanks bajica!
I'll add it in the next release
Nice work
Looks pretty good. Haven't tested it yet but I will these coming days for sure.
Here's my German translation for it.
I used the html code for special characters so if you have problems displaying it correctly let me know and maybe we can work it out.
cheers

I have a small suggestion. What do you think about putting the start/stop button on the app home screen for faster access (there's plenty of space there)? Love the auto start feature btw.

Hi, there is already a "button" in app home screen: click on the top left icon (it will toggle the log panel ).
What about adding to that button a popup menu (with a start/stop item)?
Hello Peoples of XDA Developers! Today I'll be sharing an APP that is definitely my most favorite one on Android...It is called Mango and it is an HD Manga Reader for on the go!
Mango provides many features such as My Library which allows a user to download specific chapters from any manga and basically save it on your phone for Offline Reading. It also has a Favorite section that allows a user to bookmark his/her favorite series and then get the latest updates just for the chosen ones. Another great part about this APP is the number of sources it provides such as Mangareader.net, Mangastream.com, Mangafox.com, Mangashare.com, MangAble.com and lastly AnimeA.com.
Those sources basically give you the most available series possible for a Manga App.
Here is the Dev's Page:
http://mango.leetsoft.net/
Here is the Market Version. It is called PocketManga:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.ls.manga#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDIxMiwiY29tLmxzLm1hbmdhIl0.
EDIT: PoketManga has been removed from the Android Market...Just like Mango's fate HOWEVER, Victor will still keep the updated versions on his website, so make sure to check it out!
Here is the free version's latest .apk:

I've used Mango for a LONG time
But now it has been pulled from the market in my region (Italy), so I had to manually download the apk from your website, but in this way automatic update does not work.

Hello Peoples! The Dev of the Mango Manga HD app is making a request for ALL users to switch to Mango v1.4. Only 26% have done so, so far. The reason being is that firstly...1.4 is BETTER, secondly the Dev has acquired a new server which will host the Manga queries BUT v1.3 runs on the previous server. So instead of paying for 2 running servers, he recommends EVERYONE to download the latest version and then you will be able to enjoy the most out of the app!
I'm from Germany, couldn't the developer add a German manga source? like meinmanga. de

Mango 1.4.140 (Renji) is now available. This version adds auto-download new chapters feature, data folder override, return of the zoom vibration, a few advanced options, changes to Bankai validation (separate app no longer required), tutorial skip option, a few Notifications fixes, Inverted Color Mode crash fix, and speed improvements in the Library Browser. Download it from:
http://mango.leetsoft.net/apk/140/Mango.apk
Nice to see this is still supported, even though it is off the market.
NEWS:
Quick Announcement guys! SInce Victor (The Dev) has placed Mango on the Market and Google removed it twice for no specific reason, he will be changing the name and try to post it on the Market again.
By a Poll, the new name is gonna PocketManga and the App icon will have "L" from Death Note.
Mango and PocketManga will be updated at the same time and gradually we will switch to the new name PocketManga only if Google does not remove it...
Anyways, hope everything goes well and then many more people will be able to enjoy this awesome app
Just got the new link:

Tinfoil hat here, I can ensure you this app is safe.
The dev has explained why he needs those permission in the official Mango profile on Facebook some months ago. It's just anonymous statistics that he uses for debug reasons. Anyway, you can opt-out with just a click if you don't feel sure.

Mango developer here, felt I should chime in.
Fair warning, this is a huge post, but I'll explain exactly what these permissions are used for, and how they are used.
The Read System Log permission is used for debugging and troubleshooting purposes. As you use the app, Mango writes general diagnostic information about its performance to the Android system log. Later on, if the user goes to Send Feedback and selects "I'm having an issue", Mango will include diagnostic information from the log along with the user's message. I've found this to be invaluable when the user emails me stating "it doesnt work fix plz" and the diagnostic log shows that their SD card is full and Mango can't write anything to it. Most importantly, when the app force closes, a stack trace is written to the log pinpointing the exact line of code causing the FC.
A few things to note about the log data:
-It only ever leaves your phone when you use the Send Feedback function, compose a message, and send that message via your Email app (the diagnostic data is appended to the end of the email, you can view it before sending, or delete it if you don't wish for it to be sent)
-You can view the data at any time by going to Settings and Help >> Advanced Options >> Debug Log
-Only data that Mango has written to the log itself is ever read from the log. Though the system log is shared by all apps and the OS itself, Mango filters the log to only read data with the "MANGO" tag.
I am planning on implementing a custom logger soon so that Mango can read and write log data in it's own isolated log file, allowing me to remove the permission requirement.
Regarding the Read Phone State and Identity permission, this one is used to get the device UUID. The permission also allows the requesting app to view the phone number of an incoming call, which is why the header is "Phone Calls" in the Android permission warning screen. Mango has no reason to see or use that data, so it does not ever use the functionality, but it's a package deal included with the ability to use the getDeviceId API.
Unfortunately this one is required by the MobClix SDK used to display ads and is used by Mango to differentiate one device from another. Since there are no usernames/user accounts, but Mango uses an external server to do lots of the app's work, the server needs to be able to tell one device from another, and since IP addresses are often shared between many phones on a carrier, the server uses the device UUID instead.
It is important to note that the Mango Service does not associate your UUID with any reading history or favorites... that's kept on your device and never touches the server (though in the future, I might add an optional cloud sync feature). The only data associated with your UUID in the server's database are your Android version number, your phone's model number, your Mango version number, whether or not you've purchased the ad-free version, and the total number of times you've started the app. This lets me generate some basic stats about the app's usage, which you can view here:
http://mangoservice.leetsoft.net/stats.png
The UUID (rather, a hash of it, not the ID itself) is also used by the Flurry Analytics component which provides me with some more detailed (but still aggregated and anonymized) stats regarding app usage, such as how many users per week I see, what paths users most frequently take throughout the app, the number of favorites users have, and the Preferences they have enabled. For example, it lets me see that about 46% of Mango users have more than 20 favorites, about 14% of users check the "Left-to-Right Reading" option, and that only 8% of Mango users use the filtering option in the Favorites menu (clearly, it's something I need to promote more visibly in the next version, because it's an awesome feature and almost nobody is using it... :S ). I can't tell which options any individual user is using, since all of the data is aggregated and anonymized.
The user must opt-in to analytics... it is disabled by default and is only turned on if the user selects "Yes" to the "Enable Analytics?" option that appears when you first start the app. The user can also change this setting at any time from the Preferences menu.
/whew, I think that about covers it. Obviously there's no way for me to prove that what I've said above is true and it's completely up to you to believe me or not. But I write and maintain Mango as a hobby (though, thanks to the incredible response it's received, it's a hobby that's paying for my tuition!) and I really don't have any nefarious plot to use your data.
If you have any more questions, let me know. I don't check this thread super-frequently, but if you email me ([email protected]) I'll probably get back to you within 24 hours.
Also, thanks iasookia for making this thread!

The actual download speed simply depends on the network connection. I have been using Mango, and now PocketManga, since I got my Android Phone and haven't had any lags or slow downloads per se.
When I used my carrier's data, it would take about 3-4 min to download a chapter to the Library BUT at home, with WiFi, I get a chapter in like 40 seconds.
There is an issue however, if there are too many people on the same time, the server can't support the queries and then the downloads are slow...

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.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.maximussoft.backup
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!

And also read about the app here: http://cloudpipes.wordpress.com
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...

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.

Hope your kids get well soon.
Cheers.

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!
