I tried it and I have to say it sucks. You cannot create folder structures and each upload is limited to 25 files. Dropbox is much better. The only thing this has going for it is how much space they give; but it is so limited in how you can use I find it to be almost useless for my needs. Thanks anyway. You did get an extra 1gb because I tried it with your link, but am uninstalling it now.

Yeah, I think it's geared at the "sharing" market instead of the "backup/storage" market. Think "sharing photos and videos with grandma".
I did, however, split my iPhoto library into ~175 rar chunks and am (slowly) uploading them all to a single directory on Minus. Now I have it backed up with Minus AND Amazon (40GB for about $3.75 per month).

yea it would have to do alot of **** to beat drop box with automatic sync and the market apk is damn good... im gonna try with your link just to hook ya up but i dont think ill be replacing dropbox anytime soon...

havent played with it a ton but i thought it would be great for backing up my titanium backup and pics and stuff between flashes.
if anyone figures out how to upload a folder from your phone let me know how please =)

Can't upload large files. Tried to upload a Tom but it said that the file was too big.

Can't upload a folder, but you can create a folder on Box and upload into it.
Lower left of box app is a plus sign on top of a folder, click that to create your folder.

Even with the huge amount of space, no folder uploads, small upload limit, and no desktop client makes box pretty much useless. Dropbox dominates because it has these features.

Ive had that for a long time. I had to download an app which you had to login to with your Box details, then it somehow made the actual Box think that it was a certain phone (LG or SE?) that could get 50GB free and then voila.

one thing ive found out recently is that with dropbox you can set it to automatically backup your pictures (when on wifi if you want)
which is great because i always forget to back them up when changing roms (constantly)
and have lost a ton of pictures!

Found this the other day but didnt have a chance to upload it..
This is the Dropbox app from the new HTC One X that has been tweaked for all devices allowing you to get 23gb of free online storage. Good for 2 Years
Here is what to do:
If you already have Dropbox installed on your Android device, you must Clear data, Force close and finally uninstall it from Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Dropbox.
Download and install the Dropbox+23GB APK Be sure to enable Unknown sources under Settings > Applications or Settings > Security (on ICS) before installing the APK!
Launch the app as usual and log in.
Wait for the confirmation email.
The confirmation email can take up to 30 mins

Yes, that is correct, it is good for 2 years. and if you already have an account with DB it adds to it. So I had free 2gb, now I am at 25GB of free storage..... I also have 2 Box accounts at 50GB each and 10GB at 4shared, and a second DB account now at 25GB as well........ yeah I know dont say it.... thats.....a.... lot...

So after doing that can we uninstall it and reinstall the market version or will that get rid of the extra 23gb?

OK.... its easy. If you have DB installed on your phonje. Go to you settings/manage apps/ and select DropBox. Then select clear cache and data, then uninstall. then install the DB apk I have in the first post, then sign in to your DB account with it, then in around 5-30 minutes you will get an email from DB saying Thank you for buying a HTC One X and letting you know that you now have 23+ additional GB in storage.... DONE.... thats it....

Odd.... I have not recieved my new emails since I reinstalled the HTC modded DB apps. I mean I had it at 25gb before because I used the apks about 2 weeks ago or whenever I made this thread, but now its back at 2gb, and i tried the apks and no reply, no 23gb gain in my DB accounts......perhaps they have flagged me....oh well....

If it matters, I've had the market Dropbox before but uninstalled it last week, installed it again last night before trying this, didn't have no data to clear so I just uninstalled it again normally and then installed this HTC one and logged in. That was at about 1:30 last night/this morning. Plus I had Dropbox signed in on ES File Explorer the whole time.

Dropbox is about to remove illegitimate 23GB free space

Users who installed any Sense 4 ROM would also have a chance to get free 23GB extra space from HTC One promotions, but looks like this illegitimate method of getting free 23GB has been caught by the Dropbox itself.
So I think I should get my files on Dropbox as soon as possible before they deleted it because 23GB free space I've got is the illegitimate method by using ported Sense 4 ROM.
Official statement from Dropbox support:
The official Dropbox 23GB HTC promotion will not start until sometime early this month, when the devices are released. To earn the extra 23GB of extra Dropbox space you will need to link your HTC Sense 4.0 device to your Dropbox account and complete “Get Started.”
The method to earn 23GB that is being circulated on the XDA Developers forum and on other blogs and forums is illegitimate. We plan to remove any space received using this method.
Downloading apps from unknown sources is not a good idea, as they might have been modified to include malicious code. We strongly recommend that you only install the Android Dropbox app via Google Play (formerly known as the the Android Market) or from official download links on Dropbox.com.
I hope this helps.
best,
Sean

Thank you for posting that!

so should I remove ALL my files of my dropbox account?
maybe they will only remove the extra 32Gb and leave the previous space
what do you think?
thanks for the info!

They will remove the 23GB that was part of the promo but leave what you had before.
So you don't need to remove all your files.

NOOOOOOO!!!
what a bummer
they've cut me down...
shame they don't sell a middle package like extra 10GB for USD 2-3$ a month... I would've bought it...

Because box.net sucks badly. No Linux or Windows Clients, you must use WebDAV and it's slowly as hell. And the sync doesn't work. Also I like Dropbox camera upload feature.

Online storage for free - promotions

Guys
Dropbox is giving 48gb free space (for 2 years) for all samsung note 3 and s4 users who register and start using dropbox on their devices
Box.com is giving 50gb free space (for 1 year) to all apple devices users who register and start using service on their iphone, ipod or ipad
This promotions might expire at anytime but they are active at this moment. Once again, must register from device and using on those devices - not on computer
If you get it on time, hit thanks button

I myself have 74GB or so, the 2 year thing is that you can upload that much all the time.. After the two years your data will stay intact and accessible, you just won't be able to upload anymore is all.

There's a service that I use called Copy that provides 15GB for life as far as I can tell. There's also an insane referral program that gets you +5GB every time you successfully refer someone. PM me if you want a referral, I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post it. I'd appreciate it if you did use my referral link though, I'm running low on space T-T.
Edit: I believe you also get 5GB of space if you sign up using my link.. so that's 20GB to start

Ohhh ok. Thanks for the clarification.

mail.ru is offering 100 GB and if you install the cloud app on computer or phone, you get 1 TB of storage for life. I think the 1 TB offer is till 20th January.
and they are well known in Russia

So what if you already have a dropbox account? I'm using the app without getting the promotion... Do I specifically need to register a new account? How ridiculous!
Edit:
By some strange event, I just received an email that I got the 48GB storage space (weird timing..)...
Maybe because I changed my email?

By the way, you can get this promotion only once with dropbox... So if you are like me and got it with an other samsung device before (S3 for me) and your bonus is still active in your account, it's not possible to get it another time.

That has nothing to do with email, after several referral to friends looks like dropbox is giving that space to all users (existing or new) as long they start using application from note 3 (I heard s4 is included as well). To me even 2 years is very useful so I am trying to help for others who thinks same way as me.
