Hi, friends!
I'd like to share with you a very nice way I discovered these days to have all my files backed up to the cloud: it's called SugarSync.
It looks like Dropbox, but in my opinion it's much better. In DP you have to put all your files in a folder, which should be syncronized to the cloud.
With SugarSync all you have to do is select the folders you want to sync and it's ok!
They have a Android app that gives you the option to back up your pictures in background also. In this android app, you should have access to all your computer's/MAC's files.
Take a look at these videos:
If you register, you get 5 gb for free https://www.sugarsync.com/
But if you register from this other link, you shoud get extra 500 mb! https://www.sugarsync.com/referral?rf=bc666tvfa7oyg
Happy new year to all!
Just a reminder: after complete the form, don't forget to install the program on your PC or Mac to be able to sync your data
Some people have asked me by PM if they have to remember to sync the files: the answer is NO! The program syncs all data automaticaly. Just after putting new files or modifying existing ones, they are uploaded to the cloud.
Great news from SugarSync guys: the new Android app now has the capability of automatically sync videos over WiFi networks. No more worries about forgetting to backup them.

1 click backup to dropbox

I didn't know about Titanium backup. But do they offer anything to sync files from PC or MAC to the gadgets?

I take a lot of videos of my daughter, pictures also, and I wanted an easy way to sync my dcim/camera folder to a folder on my computer. I know I can plug the phone in and sync that way.
I already have a dropbox account and 1gb is used up with roms and such, any other alternative?
I use Titanium Media Sync to sync to my Dropbox. I take it you don't want to use up the remaining gig on your Db?
SugarSync always works very nicely with syncing and PC/Mac. And if I'm correct it may have about 2 GBs of storage as well.
P.S. Check the sig for a referral.
I didnt even know DB had a limit. Is it based on what are in the folders or overall uploads?

Photobucket works too. At least to the cloud. You'd have to pull it from there to the pc. If you're around the house you could always send them over wifi with shared folders if you don't want to plug in the phone.

I had the same need and first tried out Titanium Media Sync (on HTC Desire) but was annoyed to learn that you only have limited options for the sync (currently "continuous" and "single one way"). I needed the app to upload (and unload) photos and videos from the device to a network location, ultimately to free up space on the device. However, with the continous sync, any files deleted on the device will result in deletion on the network as well; which does not provide much of a backup.
I ended up with Syncness, which is exactly what I needed. You can configure it to sync only with specific networks, at specific hours of the day, only at A/C power, etc. (the latter is in all fairness also supported by Titanium). It can even save original file dates/info to the remote location. You can also ask the app to delete the synced files once they have been copied to the remote location. Syncness ftp's the files to my Synology FileStation NAS server on my home network - I'm not sure what other transfer protocols are supported.

Is there a way to sync data between my Xoom and Evo 3D, preferably wirelessly? I'd like to be able to sync pictures and videos or other files.
This is a good question. I have a Desire and we should seek a solution that would work between different kind of android devices and also perhaps between more than two devices.
So far I'm using two apps to do this, but not an ideal solution yet. The data sync is more kind of a workaround.
Syncing pictures/video/folders
-Titanium Media Sync [https://market.android.com/details?id=com.keramidas.MediaSync] to sync folders between device and either dropbox or ftp. This works quite well, but I still need to do it kind of manually it feels. Not 2-way. I need to manually sync folders from my ftp(originating from desire) to my Xoom when i see it necessary to update. But it automatically uploads folders of my choosing to ftp/dropbox. The app is still being actively developed, and it keeps getting better. I like all the options for choosing/filtering files to be synced, but it may look difficult at first. There are options to sync immediately when you say take a picture or wait until the device is on a charer/wifi.
Syncing app data
-Titanium Backup [https://market.android.com/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup] to sync app data for spesific apps/games back and forth. I do this for the games I currently play when i want to pick up from the progress I had on either phone or tablet. Make a new backup of game. Long hold on game in backups-list. Choose "send backup" and send to mail or dropbox folder. Download on other device into titanium backup folder. Go into Titatnium backup on that device and find the new backup you just copied in there and restore it.
The best thing would be to just sync the entire titanium backups to Dropbox and the do the same on the other device and it woul sync, but I do not dare to test if that would work... anybody do that?
There are also other similar apps that do these kind of syncing, I just happened to allready be using titanium backup. Also, there are apps that spesifically sync the data (game progress) of popular games like angry birds.

i will try media Sync. I want to find something I can sync data on my Mac too it possible
If you sync to dropbox with titanium media sync it would be updated on your mac (in your dropbox folder). But remember - it's a one-way sync so files wouldn't sync back the other way. Not everyone needs it to though... And I don't know if that's even possible. You could anyway access stuff through the dropbox app of course..
Btw. I just remembered the two other big alternatives:
Dropsnap
https://market.android.com/details?id=me.ctso.dropsnap
Sugarsync
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.sharpcast.sugarsync
I haven't tried them myself but one of them would probably also do a great job for what you wanted. Dropsnap seems a bit simpler in function than t. media sync and sugarsync seems to rely on having their software on your computer. I allready had dropbox so I didn't want one more sync/cloud service

With this, you might be able to just select the app, not the files to sync.. easier...
Hi,
Microsoft's myphone service was discontinued at the start of the month, replaced by skydrive. Windows phone 7/7.5 will be able to sync with this but AFAIK other windows phone 6.x has been left out of the game.
I used to use myphone a lot to backup everything, ever since I had a little incident, trying to sync to a new PC with active sync, deleted an old pairing and lost most of my contacts.
Is there anyway to get WinMo 6.x to play with any of the new microsoft services, or should I be moving to some 3rd party app now?
Be interested to get everyone's feedback.
Cheers
try PIM Backup.

It's not a cloud service but a simple backup program.
You can save to your phone, your sd card or even copy the backup file to a pc or usb stick. Should be as save as the myphone service then ;-)
mylookout.com
is cloud based, free and has a few other useful bits

Hi,
I use BirdieSync that is very usefull for sync Thundirbird mail, contacts, calendar, etc...
The only bad thing is that is not free, but very efficient.
can anyone recommend me a good cloud service?
I'm trying backup my family videos up on the cloud so I don't loose them.
I'm looking for something other then youtube.
somewhere I can keep my files intact original and also can download it off the net without a fuss.
I got a free Box.com account but the problem is upload file size limit is 100mb.
all my videos are bigger then 100mb...
if you guys can recommend a good, free, cloud service with decent storage space and appropriate upload file size limit I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks.
I would recommend Dropbox.

Seconded. I have my phone setup with Dropbox, Dropspace, SMS Backup & Restore and App Backup & Restore to keep my phone constantly and automatically backed up to my Dropbox
+1 for dropbox. you could also get a pogoplug or use their cloud service. you could also try sugarsync
Ok i have a 100gb Dropbox account.

You mean, so it uploads to Dropbox and then removes the file from your phone? I've never heard of something that would do that.
You can use Dropsync to make your phone act like the desktop version of Dropbox, i.e., whatever you put into a specific folder will automatically sync to a folder on Dropbox.
