I have been searching for an app for the last 3 days but couldn't find anything that fits:
Requirement:
*simple app for uploading and downloading (any, not only "office" files) to Google Docs, basically something like the Dropbox client but only for Google
* optional automatic sync over wifi
Am I really looking for something that does not (yet) exist?
Someone told me that an app with such functionality is unwanted by Google?!
Greets,
Georg
PS: Sorry if I post this in the wrong section, couldn't find a better one...
Tried Docs by Google?
Yes, I did. But there is no option to download files directly to my device. You can only upload and edit files as far as I know...

Some time ago I was using this one: https://market.android.com/details?id=art.wild.gdocs . It does what you want, I think. In addition it uses oauth and this is a big advantage for me, because I hate to enter my Google password into some apps.
Web browser?
You don't really need a specific app for every website on the internet.

Why does rom manager need access to your Goole account. What does it do with it.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
From the app description:
Why does ROM Manager ask for account permissions?
Web Connect only needs to access your Google account to connect it to your google account. It can't any private data or passwords.

Not to sound mean but I can read. I have already read that. That is why I was asking it on here. I was looking for a reason to why it needs to connect to your google account. What is it using it for?
No worries about sounding sarcastic. I'm perfectly fine dishing out or taking the snark
Basically, it's because the Web Connect feature in ROM Manager allows you to link ROM Manager to your Google account. This way you can click on a link on a forum and have it automatically download to your phone, much in the way the web browser app market does.
From the ROM Manager dev site:
Some people really prefer to browse a forum and learn about a ROM before downloading it. And some developers don't want to go through the trouble of maintaining a ROM Manifest.
What if you could click a link on a forum, in your computer's browser, and it started downloading the ROM... on your phone? Introducing ROM Manager's latest and greatest Premium feature: Web Connect.

Sorry that I sounded that way. Thank you very much for the advice. Its that required to run the manager.

In this thread, I just want to discuss what online cloud storage you use and your setup. It would be awesome if you could rate, or just describe your experience using it.Recently I've been thinking of paying for one of these services. The future seems more and more integrated with the cloud. Thinking of buying extra Google Drive storage to go with full-res upload on Google+. Also does anyone use a NAS server on their Wi-Fi Network? If so also let us know about it, really interested in that too.
So...
I currently use my HTC One X with Dropbox, Instant Upload enabled. In addition I store my iPhoto library on Dropbox. Everything is synced seamlessly, however takes forever for me to download them.:silly:
SkyDrive
Personaly i use SkyDrive since i am one of the older users i got the free 25GB of storage and no other service has been able to top this yet.
I use both the desktop software and the network drive mapping trick if i am on a computer without admin permissions.
I mainly store files here handy to other people or files that i want to be able to access easily on a range of diffrent computers.
In addition i got a 1GB network share hosted by DD-WRT for easy file transfers over the network.
I'm the dev of Send It - which integrates a bunch of cloud storage solutions (not trying to plug just giving my experience of using them all).
In my testing I've found Google Drive or SkyDrive to be the best implementations from a technical standpoint. Dropbox I found to be very slow both uploading and downloading compared to those. Box is also a nice solution and if you have an LG device you get 50GB free, but I found the online UI pretty clunky.
If you're looking to use it from a Phone then I would suggest Google Drive just because if you already use Google services its so much easier. Or if not SkyDrive. My 2 cents
Google Drive, because it is most reliable and fast, plus it is integrated with google services that i use, and Google provides simple desktop and mobile app for sync (i know that almoust every storage service have it, but i like simplicity of Google one)
I'm sticking with dropbox, simply because of how fast and simple it is!

I'm using the cloud storage of One.Com, because my website is hosted there, too. you get 5 GB at first, the first year is free. pretty fast and can be integrated into windows as an "network" drive, there is an app for Ios and android, too.
Some advice please?

Well, thanks for letting me know bout Send It. Its Really Neat, great job. Its probably making lots of people think, why didn't I think of that, it is so simple yet it works flawlessly.
However, what I want to ask is, is using a few cloud services to have this "safety-net" if any of these cloud storage services fails so that I don't lose my work a good idea? Or is it already safe enough? Its not about the lack of storage though. I just want to know that my files are safe and backed up so I don't have to worry about it. Is what I am thinking really not worth the cumbersome mess where Less is More applies? Any help is really appreciated
I am currently using Dropbox and Box. I use Dropbox the most because it is faster and allows for larger uploads. I currently have 25GB of space to use (thank you fiverr). I use my Box account for documents, some music, and smaller backup files since it is slower and has an upload files limit of 250MB. I was able to get it early when it just started and have a 50GB account with them.

i think skydrive is great for windows phone users as all office files, pictures etc get uploaded in a touch.also some apps allow skydrive backups
I have no problems using Dropbox. However when I am using it on mobile too I don't put large bulky files in it.

I suppose it depends on how easily you can upload to multiple services at once. Cloud storage is great for portability for but offline backups are always the best as you control them. Most, if not all, of these services have versioning too which is some form of backup if you accidentally overwrite a file. That's a big reason of why DropBox became so popular was ease of use, you didn't have to do anything.
I find Dropbox best for my pc, on my phone I use SkyDrive via Send It to quickly sync specific files, all of them have something different to offer. Personally I would say try a few and see which best fits your needs and then stick with one

Google drive and skydrive are best ever

Also you should know the popularity of dropbox ...
I am glad I found this thread as I was getting ready to ask the same question as the OP.
I have been using Ubuntu One which will give you 5.5 GBs of space if you use this referral link (5 GBs if you go directly to their website without using the referral link):
http://bit.ly/VOm9O7
I like it a lot:
Simple to use Android and PC interface.
Good layout on webpage.
Automatically syncs from phone.
Decent amount of space if you have a referral link.
But there are two things I don't like. First, it will not let you pick what additional folders you want to have automatically sync'd. Second, it doesn't appear to allow uploading videos saved in the Android camera folders (it might if selecting each video manually but that ties into the first issue).
So that brings me to my question. Does anyone know of a service that allows users to pick and choose what folders they want to have automatically synced to the cloud? If I could just do pictures and videos; that would be awesome! Additionally, SMS and MMS messages and maybe contacts would be nice as well.
Skydrive since almost the day it came out. Awesome integration with Windows 8, Surface and WP8.
Box and google drive. Box is the best cloud service and astro file manager helps me managing my files. Though there is already a box app in the play store but astro file manager is much easy to manage the files.

PogoPlug
PogoPlug, because the oly cost is for the device, and the only limit to your storage space is the size of the HDD(s) you connect to it!
Well, thanks for all the advice, but what i really am interested in is a secure way to backup my photos. I believe that cloud storage is a lot safer somehow, but has no privacy, not that I care much. A downside might be cost, but don't have to worry about that for another year. 25GB of Dropbox from HTC . I think the more backups you have, the better? If I am just going to keep local copies, what are some good Photo Library apps for a Mac? Mac and Android Fan, no, not an alien. Or is there a way to set up a private wireless drive and upload straight from the phone.

I guess he's implying that russian services cannot be trusted despite the fact it's the services of USA that spies on just about everything people do.
Thanks for the tip!
Sweet 100 GB...and for free. NSA can spy all they want in that cloud, same goes for the FSB. I'll just keep my "less" sensitive stuff on this cloud.
After I signd up the these 100 GB, I wanted to see if I could find something even bigger...well 10 TB from Weiyun did the trick. Althou it's a tad more tricky to get signed up, it is possible to do so (firsthand experience) A good deal of the registration and UI of the cloud storage is capable of english. The android software lacks I'm afraid.

Do you trust them? I have very close Russian friends, they don't even trust the most of Russian sites and IPOs and apps in play stores. Forget about all NSA craps for a second...it is sad but it is a fact that whenever you see anything like cloud.ru or mail.ru, don't you even give a second thought before you sign up.

I personally use these storage to upload firmwares; apps; music videos movies etc so i dont see what could be the issues of privacy there? Can you elaborate ? No one use these storage to store information about their bank details; adress or phone numbers etc
I am using it for few weeks and its quiet good for those who lack internal space for music; videos and nandroid backups etc

Hello.
My brother was given a tablet from his school. It comes with restrictions, so i'm trying to bypass them.
The main problem is about websites. I was able to root the tablet and delete the apks which were installed by the school but still there are some websites I cannot connect. Twitter, facebook, youtube etc. are blocked. I've checked the "20-dns.conf" file but there are no signs of restrictions there.
Any thoughts on from which file these website restrictions come from? It is in the system obviously, but it seems like i am not able to find it. I'd be grateful if you could help me.
Thanks.

I've the same problem.
I search something with google app and there's a result from amazon.it, when I tap on it, it opens the browser instead of amazon app.
I checked the amazon app in android settings-app-app links and the supported sites are just amazon.de/.co.jp/.co.uk/.com
There isn't amazon.it and that's why it won't open the app.
Surely there's a file somewhere that contains these links. But WHERE???
Please help!
