Is there a way to do this?
Specifically, a way to sync my pictures and videos to some sort of online storage as and when I take them, or at a preset interval.
Just now, my phone and laptop weren't playing nice and it wouldn't mount as USB. So, I disconnected from USB. Now, I find a bunch of pictures and videos and lord knows what else have just disappeared. I'd like to be able to have a constant back up of these things.
I think dropbox has this feature. You only get 2GB free, buy a very useful app.

I know Titanium Backup has a feature called 'Media Sync' that does just that, too.
Dropbox is great btw.

Dropbox will not do this by itself but, Titanium Backup Media Sync seems like it will use Dropbox to do it for me. Thanks!

Looking for an app to sync pictures from phone automatically to transformer....tried sugarsync but I can only sync to the cloud automatically...can't seem to sync between the two...any ideas ?

Maybe some kind of WiFi sync. It usually involved a PC so not sure how it would work for you. Also look into Picassa sync
Dropbox app? I will try this and report back. If Wifi Media Sync by the makers of TitaniumBackup works on Transformer, that would do it. Will try that too...

Try out syncness on each device, syncing to dropbox (or network share)
Works well for me
Ok, tried a few things...first i tried sugarsync, and it seems to work, but you can't use the auto photo backup. You have to choose your pictures folder and it will automatically sync that folder to the cloud drive. It will be under mobile briefcase..so if you do that on each device the pictures will all sync into mobile briefcase from each device.
The second one, and the one i want to work, is via webstorage, since we have unlimited access. However, it doesn't seem like you can autosync any folder from android into this...all the folders or files have to be manually uploaded. Its kind of a sucky app at the moment...on both my phone and my transformer, but it is helpful to transfer movies or music manually.
...and syncness is good, but it seems like the same thing as sugarsync..sugarsync offers 5gb of free space though
Try something that syncs to your picasa automatically like picpush. I use that on my phone which happens to be my primary camera (they always say the best camera is the one you have on you) and my pics show up in the gallery on all of my devices and on any web browser.
If you are using an Android phone the Picasa app works fantastically for keeping things connected between devices. I can access my Picasa albums from a PC with internet or the Picasa photo editing program as well as on my Android smartphone via the Picasa app and here on the Transformer via the picasa app. Cool thing about the Transformer is the Picasa app works directly with the stock gallery app on the Transformer so your picasa albums show up with all your locally stored albums. Works very well and is all part of having a Google account.
Try it out.
Awesome!! I found an app that is completely free called photocloud that does the same thing...and its great that the pictures show up automatically in the gallery...I see u can choose to save them for offline viewing also but I haven't figured out how to do it for the individual pictures that I want..either way thanks for the help and try photocloud ...free!

Hi guys
Does anyone know of a gallery app, like the stock app but with the ability to display photos stored on box.com or dropbox.com?
I have been searching but not found one!
Any advice would be appreciated!
Thanks Guys

i don't know about box.com, but you can set up dropbox to download all the files automaticly, so you could browse your dropbox photos with the stock app...

How do you set Dropbox up to download automatically? I've never seen that option but have always wanted it.
Hi
But if you set drop box to download all the files then there is no point them being stored there as they are still on you sd card.
I was looking for an app that will access the online storage and display the images without downloading them?

My Google+ albums are available in my gallery. Have a look at Google+ and see if it will help.

Check out DropSync. Lets you specify folders to auto-sync on your phone at specified intervals or immediately. IOW lets Dropbox work on your phone like it does on a desktop. Very nice!

Thanks. I'd rather it was in the official DropBox app, but I can live with that.
I don't have a google plus account!

It is not quite what I was looking for....
Just wondered if there was a gallery app where you could specify your box.com or drop box account details and then it would just display the photos you want???

The latest dropbox beta not only automatically syncs the photos and videos, it gives you extra space when you do it!
Hi
I'm trying to set dropsync up so that it can synchronise game saves between my two phones. However I'm having trouble getting dead space to sync. Where does it store it's game saves? Have synced the app's whole data folder and still the game saves don't sync.
Thanks
Steve
Maybe you should try the app called data sync ?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
Never heard of data sync. I'll give it a try tonight. Would I be able to set it up to automatically sync the saves between the two devices?
Thanks
Steve
Try app sync it does what you want but for now you have to open the app on both devices. The creater said that the need up day will have for automation in it. You can search for the app on here or look in the market

I've just tried both app sync and data sync. Both seem good. I think I prefer data sync because it lets me use dropbox so I don't need to have both my phone and my tablet on me to sync. I just wish it would automatically sync every time the game save file was changed. Lazy I know but it would mean that I could just pick up either device then start playing.
Thanks
Steve
Datasync does this. Syncs to Box.net or dropbox.

All,
What do you guys use to upload/sync the photos on your phone to? I'm worried one day, if I lose or my sd card fails, I'll lose all the photos on my phone. I rather keep it online and sync'd as oppose to copying it locally to my pc. Though I would still do that.
So Dropbox, Google Drive? Or Picasa or Google +?
Thanks!
I use Dropbox. One day I'll get off my lazy butt and install the script to sync it to my iPhoto on my Mac at home lol.

I use dropbox, I have the 50gb hack. I am always afraid they will take it away and day, I then copy all my photos to a thumb drive.
I use dropbox and once a month I back them all up to my external hard drive.

Awesome guys!
Dropbox it is then! And backup to hd once a month!
Thanks again!
They also offer two step verification, give you another layer of security if they ever get hacked.

Same. I have it on my phone, back it up to drop box, I have like 4GB of storage now. Then I back up all the photos to my computer, then have my computer back everything up to an external hard drive.
Allway sync is a great program for back up on PC
Every so often I'll clean flash a ROM and delete all my pictures and stuff (after I back up)

With ASTRO File Manager you could access your Skydrive or Google Drive from the app itself, but i would choose google drive just because its so accessible.
I don't trust any cloud service. I just back up to my PC.
So I regularly switch between the OPO and S6, I'm looking for an app that syncs my SMS between the two. Right now I'm backing the texts up, uploading it to Google drive, then downloading and restoring the file. This is very time consuming as I don't delete my texts very often and have over 15k texts stored.
The only app I've found to do this is mysms but it's a paid service, I'm looking for a free app or much cheaper than what mysms charges... Any suggestions?

Try MightyText. Also lets you read/send texts from your PC.
I also think you can get the same using PushBullet.

Hmmm PushBullet looks promising... I installed mightytext a while ago but could only see it on a PC, not 2 phones. I'll look at it again tho.

I was using "Super Backup SMS + Contacts". It creates a backup file on your phone or you can upload it to GDrive/Dropbox/whatever. Than simply restore this file on your second phone.
