Downloa Box.net from the app store and activate it on your G2x for 50 gb of storage Once claimed, your account will have 50GB of free, secure file storage and sharing forever. Its not ICS, but it is a nice plus for owning our phone! Box.net has just replaced my dropbox!
More info is here and the market link is here
no mass upload?
Edit: that app is under featured severely. No multiple selections. Can only upload and download individual files.
not without
upgrading required for mass upload.
But
Webdav is built right into it so add a network drive at https://www.box.net/dav and login...
Snap. Downloaded app and signed up. 50gb upgrade rewarded instantly. Sweet.
G2x - 2.3.7 CM7
Transformer - 3.2 Revolver OC/UV
What upgrade? No paid app in the market and no upgrade option in the app.
Awesome. 50Gb storage instantly.
Thank you for sharing!

Use a web browser to box.net for upgrade options. I like the webdav approach though. The Professional account is 10 bucks/month.
Nice, creating an account was a breeze and uploading works just fine. Thanks for the tip.

Using AirDroid may help. I haven't tried it with Box yet, so it's iffy.
Some people are just never happy. Here you have 50GB of free storage more than you will get for FREE from any other service and yet people have to still be NEGATIVE!!
P.S. - There is a bulk upload feature.

Eh, ill be the dude who has issues.
I'm using a nightly build of cm7, if that matters.
I downloaded it, launched it, registered for an account all on my phone. (G2x)
Check the settings and it still has me at 5Gbs, any thoughts?
Well 50gb storage is 50gb storage. Can't complain here!

To upload more than one file, don't use the box app. Go to Gallery (or whatever file browser for files) and select all the files you want to upload. Then go to Share, Box.net. It will then upload all the files for you.
I keep getting plz enter a vaild email add when the add that i am putting inis vaild. I have tried it with two different emails. Wont work fr me using the box.net app.
Edit: I was using the Boxroid app not box. Using box got me the 50gb nice thanks for te tip.

THANK YOU!!
Spent an hour with file expert first trying to get webdav to work (kept getting inaccessible folder errors) and then when I tried using file experts cloud management, Java memory errors. Your solution finally worked.
To the rest of you: I wasn't turning my nose up at free 50gb. But it seems an empty gesture when you can't use it. :/

So I saw that progress is being made with root being available so I went ahead and bought the at&t htc one, its nice and lighter than my inspire. So maybe not having an sd card slot isnt going to be that bad with all the cloud storage available so I'd like to know from you guys using it which are the better cloud apps I should use where transferring media/docs is secure and fast. I'm pretty sure with this nice camera I'd like to take pics/video and not worry about space. I'm not so sure I'm interested in the dropbox offer for this phone where its only good for 2 years? I know I have 50GB on box.com but I think there are file transfer size limitations? Honestly never used it as I prefer my old trusty sd card.
Also, whats the best root method for this device?
You've got five gigs in google drive , I use box and dropbox no file limits on db, as for box I believe it's 100 mb limits with uploads, I've uploaded a few nandroids from gnex to bix with no prob

lol there is only 1 method to root .
and i use dropbox, configured so that it automatically uploads my pictures from my phone when on wifi
Box is useless for me since there's no sync agent on the desktop. I have 25gb on Skydrive but there's no sync on Android.
It comes down to gDrive an Dropbox. I currently use mostly Dropbox.

when you install dropbox you automatically get 25 gb bonus.*
there is a method to get a ton of free space via referals (i got up to 20 gb with this) going to have to google it because i dont think i can post on here*

the 1 click is perma root
If you're like most, what you'll be moving around is likely to be music, pics, video, and files. One storage solution might not be the best for everything. Here's what I'm doing.
General - I have a home server and everything I have is on there. I stream video I've ripped off of it using Plex and/or PlayOn rather than screwing around with moving GB size files. If I'm traveling I'll download some stuff to watch when offline. Astro has a network module that allows me to move stuff at home and my server's a WHS and there's an app that gives me remote access if I want to d/l stuff on the road. A NAS or home server can be great when you have lots of content you view or share across your home network and remote devices.
Music - I use Amazon MP3 to store all my audio (I have it set to sync with my home server). The player shows what's local and remote via a single interface. It's not the prettiest app in the world but it's reliable and works well. I tried Google Music but didn't like the way it took over my phone.
Pics/Video - The Flickr integration built in to the phone's pretty cool. I moved from Photobucket because of it. I have it set in Sense to automatically upload the pics and videos I take. I use the mobile Flickr site to download and view stuff because adding the dedicated app confused the phone because of its native integration.
Docs and Files - I use Sense for SkyDrive because it's MS Office friendly when I want to share stuff with others. I'll use my home server if it's something I'll just be using myself. MS had a 25GB offer going for people already registered but I don't know if it's still in affect.
Just some real world stuff in case it helps anyone. There are dozens of ways to accomplish the same thing.
I use Google drive for music and drop box for other files. I downloaded an app to sync my music folder with Google drive when a change occurs in the folder. And other media and files to drop box using the same app.
I would however prefer to point the library in my player to Google drive directly or another cloud storage to avoid local copies.

It should be in accounts and sync greyed out or available to add. I have an international version so if AT&T chose to omit it as an "enhancement" let me know and I'll post the APK.
i have the att version and i don't find it in add account. can you provide the apk? thanks in advance

I use dropbox for photos, google music for music and this app called Folder Sync for general stuff.
Dropbox is good, but I have 25 gb on skydive and its amazing how you can use office 2010 on the desktop to edit your skydive files. Don't need to buy office ever again. Can't wait till they have a skydive app that can edit files.
Any news on skydive app for sense?

as far as file size limitations go... I've put files larger than 1GB on Google Drive. The one downside to Google Drive android app is I can't figure out how to copy files from Google Drive to my SDcard storage.
Here are the two SkyDrive APK's I found on the phone. Hope it works for you guys. If it does, you should see SkyDrive for HTC Sense appear in the accounts and sync.

I discovered a new cloud storage service. Of course there are myriads of them but this one has some pretty unique features and IMO it is worth testing.
The name of the service is Jottacloud and it was described by AddictiveTips yesterday http://www.addictivetips.com/window...t-lets-you-recover-accidentally-deleted-data/
If you sign up till the end of November you will receive 15 GB storage. 10 GB is a bonus for early adopters, the basic and free version of the service will offer 5 GB. But what is interesting the Jottacloud Android app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jottacloud.android.client backup and recovery functions and they work really very well (described here http://www.jottacloud.com/autosync-for-android )
Some first impressions:
- the online version of the service is in Norwegian by default and you have to switch it manually from Bokmal to English, German, etc.
- in order to receive the extra storage you you have to set up and do at least one synchronisation. After that the extra space should become available to you
- the Web and Windows work really well, the Android apk has some bugs like the way of closing the app is a bit annoying. I hope it will be improved.(EDIT: the new, improved version of the app is already available)
- the recovery function works really well and I wonder if it can be used for syncing accross devices (like tablets and smartphones). I cannot test it because I have only one device. Is anyone who can figure it out?
- what is nice you can choose if syncing/Android backup should be done over WiFI/3G
- the upload is blazingly fast. The upload saturates my 40/4 Mb VDSL. I use different storages and Jottacloud is one of the best (like Russian Yandex or Swiss Wuala), far faster than Dropbox or Sugarsync
- there are no size limitations - I uploaded a DVD ISO file (4.3 gigabytes) and had absolutely no problems with it.
- as in other services there is a referral program and one can enlarge the storage space up to 100 GB (according to the service: Invite friends to Jottacloud.Your friend will receive an invitation to Jottacloud by e-mail. Your friend clicks on the link and sign up on Jottacloud. Both you and your friend gets 5 GB of bonus storage You can get up to 100 GB bonus storage). Just in case let me know if you would like to receive the invitation from me or you can share the invitations with your friends, etc.
TIP: Click any referral link that XDA users published below. Use it if you wanna 5 gigabytes extra for you and for them It means that till the end of November you will receive 20 gigabytes of space (and 10 after November).
I just discovered this service as well and have to admit that I'm pretty impressed so far. What I especially like (additionally to the points you already mentioned) is the fact, that you can easily sync existing folders on your PC as well (and don't need to setup extra folders, as Dropbox requires).
One more thing: You can actually get 20 GB of free space. If you join via an invitation, you and the inviting person will both receive 5 GB extra. So in case you want to use this option and treat you and me some extra space, here's my invitation link: https://www.jottacloud.com/signup?referer=8B397F51699CB3E863D50F1BDAB9B9B1

Hey again guys.
So i'm always on the look out for awesome new and useful apps, a lot of the time they're apps that no one's ever heard of. So i love helping promote awesome apps that i think everyone can use and will find useful!
These 2 apps are highly under rated, i'm extremely surprised that they haven't been downloaded very much at all!
Anyways, i did my review on them and i highly recommend you check these out! I know you'll love them!
Share any file with any mobile OS by using either your dropbox account or google drive account, paired with sms, you can send any file to any phone! Just awesome!
Here's the video on CloudSend: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9ofKXRHWs8
Here's the video on Send It: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbCSCrEVtOc

Send It Play Store Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...esult#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsInJvYmouc2VuZC5pdCJd
You guys are gonna dig these apps!
tnx, trying cloudsend now.
It does have an icon now Thanks for the review though man, much appreciated
CloudSend is awesome if you have DropBox, highly recommended if you already have a DropBox account
EDIT: You didn't mention Send It allows you to queue downloads, send shortened url's (aka via flipboard) and copy the link to your clipboard so you could attach a file to a tweet or a forum post... just saying
Lol, sorry! Gotta keep em short and sweet. The attention span of some folks is about 2 minutes, seriously, i have statistical data that proves it! LOL.
Check out CloudSend's official application thread at here
CloudSend now supports pausing uploads during bad network conditions along with a new setting to customize what gets sent when sharing the file's link. Also, CloudSend too has a "Copy to Clipboard" functions for even more sharing options.
A ton of new features are in the works, get ready for CloudSend v2!
Not sure what advantage these apps would be compared to using the standard Dropbox and Drive apps. I found most, if not all of the same features in the newest versions. You should probably mention Box, though. The app supports intents for almost everything. It's so flexible, it can get almost annoying having to select the default app for some things (like installing an app) that you wouldn't expect a file share program to catch. I say almost because at least you have that option to upload to Box from ANYTHING, ANYWHERE lol.

The difference is the easy way how to use:
Find your file, share it to SendIt, choose a contact (or clipboard) and send. That's it.
The app will upload in background, get the download link and send this link to where you wanted.
Easy!

Thank you. Everything both our apps do can be done via the official apps but the key here is ease of use. You don't have to wait for it to upload via the official app, grab the download link, open you sms app etc etc..You choose your file and contact and that's that.. So simple.
And FYI Send It (Version 1.3) now has SkyDrive support which, vs Google Drive, even if I do say so myself is miles more user friendly
Try using this app in combination with BeamLink application. The BeamLink app can beam links to any screen like laptop,ipad,tablets,smartvs etc. No additional setup required. Check it out at the Store

I agree. I've had a free 50gb from Box for a couple of years, but the lack of Sync makes it far less useful. Any use of that space is accomplished manually, which partially defeats the purpose.
Unless I'm missing something - is there a way to get Box files and folders to automatically update, upload, etc.?

I don't think so. You can of course save from a lot of apps on your 700 or other Android to the cloud, and access your files (provided you have some kind of data connection), but automagically... not with the app itself. I saw that an app I have been using for a loooong time with my own FTP server actually supports syncing... <blush>: FolderSync. Will give it a try.
Trial version ("only allows two accounts and has no sync filters or Tasker support" -- enough for testing Box ):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.tacit.android.foldersync.lite
Full version:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.tacit.android.foldersync.full
EDIT: confirmed working! I really recommend FolderSync for its versatility and all the options it throws at you. Nice to see it actually works.
It works!! Thank you! I also noticed that Polaris Office can save/edit files on Box no problem.
This is a great offer, no strings from what I've been reading in their TOS and 3rd party reports. Seems they just started the offer and who knows how long they will. They do limit the file size per file though. So to move big files, then you have to pay.
One thing to keep in mind about this deal though, they offer zero warranty and zero guarantees of your data being secure. See item#14 of the TOS. But I guess you can't ask for much when it's free .

Thanks for the link - no, I wasn't aware of this, and it does look promising.
It looks like this would work for my phone, but I'll have to see if there's a Windows desktop equivalent. That's where it would be the most useful. I'm currently using IDrive to backup various files and folders on my desktop, in real time. I was able to get 15gb of free storage there, and it does do full sync, but I'd love to be able to do this with my 50gb of free Box storage. As I said, the main limitation with free Box is that it does not provide a sync function. If there's a way to enable this with a 3rd party application, that would be ideal.

Exactly - that's what I was referring to. Box definitely does do real-time sync, but you need one of their paid accounts for this.
I have mixed feelings about paying for cloud-based storage, and have taken a serious look at CrashPlan, SOS Online Backup, etc., to do a full backup of perhaps 300gb+ of photos and files. But I haven't convinced myself this is either practical, reliable, or necessary. I currently have a backup strategy with 2 duplicate internal hard drives, updated nightly, along with a similarly cloned external HD backed up weekly, and then stored off-site.
