Box.com now allows all devices to have 50GB for free till 23.03.2012.
Hurry up !
this is actually not as good as you think it is. There is a small "per file" upload limit (i dont recall what the actual limit is) and you still need to pay to use the windows-based program. They basically just upgraded you to 50GB and you need to pay for everything else. Unless you were to use another program to autosync your folders, then i can see that.
sugarsync or dropbox is still better, IMO>
I'd still say go for it. Box's native SimpleShare client (Windows and Mac) is a great middle-man client. I would much rather have 50Gb of space in one spot instead of juggling between several ~2Gb services.
Of course the obvious downside is lack of explorer integration, but it is possible to mount your box.net drive as a network share and use it that way. SimpleShare also has hotkeys for rapid uploading plus some cool screenshot tools.
Overall I wouldn't discount this offer.
Thnx :thumbup:

Dropbox still my first choice.. 13gb dropbox... 5gb sugar sync, 50gb box and 500gb live drive...

who complains about 50gb of free storage lol. I understand other options are a little quicker, but add a couple extra clicks with box and your all set. Takes me 10 secs to add files.
Its 50 free gb.

100MB free file size limit
i believe the file size is 100MB. still pretty good, for free. i don't recall if there's a restriction of bandwidth consumption.
They have no client for ubnuntu ;-( but you can make a server connection from the nautilus.
server : www.box.com/dav
secure webdav (https)
there is no PC client
maybe dropbox is better~

i'm not complaining about 50GB of free space either but there are many other choices out there. I actually paid for my 35GB with sugarsync and my experience is 1000x better. If you are comfortable with Box, then more power to you. I'd rather pay for better experience but thats just me.
thanks for the info

Hi, would anyone like some free online storage from Dropbox?
Anyone wanting to sign up please simply follow my referral link and we both get an extra 256MB of storage on top of the standard 2GB as long as you register and install the desktop app (all free).
This service is actually spectacularly useful, making your files accessible to you via the website where ever you go, or through the PC app and of course even more convenient with the Android and iPhone apps.
You can also invite people to share folders with you giving both/all of you access to the same storage location for convenient file sharing.
PS - I don't intend to share my or your storage and there is nothing suspicious here, no pyramid scheme or profit etc. just a genuinely useful tool and me simply using the referrals to get us both the extra space
Cheers,
Mik
I guess not then :lol:
I have considered getting one of those online services ie like RapidShare etc and has considered signing up for one, but which one is "ultimately" best?. I know claiming which one is best might be a bit sketchy.
But I would prefer a place where I can basically decide to make folders either accessible to all so they are public so that people can access the folders through a webinderface and download from it. Or that people need to put in a password/key to get aceces. Or ultimately that I am the only one who can access them.
As well as allowing "some" people to upload stuff to the public folder etc.
But can any of these online services handle that?
O I think it can "handle it"...

[Post too short????]
I believe Box.net covers most of your specs....
Personal account is free and stores up to 50g.
Dropbox does pretty much everything you're looking for. Other people can upload to a folder, but you have to share it with them. A shared folder takes away from their amount of storage as if it were their own.
If you exceed 10 gigs of external traffic in a single day, Dropbox suspends the specific file(s)/folder responsible for the excessive traffic for a few days... at least for the first offense, not sure about after. I learned this the hard way.
Dropbox also only gives you a couple of gigs of storage. It's by far the nicest file-sharing client, but very limiting. I use Dropbox to share small files - recoveries, individual images, tutorials, etc. For most of my personal storage and larger files that I need to share, I use crappy file sharing sites like Megaupload etc.
The great thing about Dropbox is that you don't have to link people to some spammy site where you have to wait however long for slow downloads. Click the link and you're prompted to download.
However, if you plan on sharing large files or need a ton of storage, I'd go with something else unless you're willing to pay.

If you don't have Dropbox account CLICK HERE to open one and get initial 2.25GB* free instead of 2GB you would normally get without referral.
*must download and install dropbox client to pc for bonus to show.
**completing 'get started' will get you another 250MB for a total of 2.5GB shortly after registering
Now for the rest that do:
"Hi everyone!
Even though the holidays have passed, we're really stoked to give you guys one more present -- a new experimental release! Under the wrapping you'll find a bunch of new toys, including a brand new Camera Upload feature. Here are the release notes:
• Automatically uploads photos and videos in the background using Wi-Fi or data plan
• 500MB of free space on first photo uploaded automatically
• Upload files of any size (no more 180 MB limit!)
• Support for resuming file uploads when there are network issues
• Various performance improvements & bug fixes
During this beta period, we are also offering additional free space to test automatic uploading of photos and videos. For every 500MB of photos and videos automatically uploaded, you'll receive another 500MB space bonus, up to 5GB total (including the initial 500MB space).
[Update: this space is not separate from 5GB given for uploading on our desktop clients. Uploading from either desktop clients or Android app will count towards the same 5GB free space.]

During this beta period, we are also offering additional free space to test automatic uploading of photos and videos. For every 500MB of photos and videos automatically uploaded, you'll receive another 500MB space bonus, up to 4.5GB total.

Fix import error on iPhone with lots and lots of photos.
Better Handling of out of quota issues on first photo import.

Importing of photos from cameras, phones, and SD cards.
Batch upload/download of files.

Linux x86: http://dl-web.dropbox.com/u/17/dropbox-lnx.x86-1.3.12.tar.gz
Notes:
Clients 1.3.5 and earlier had an auto-update bug. Please install this version so that your client will stay up to date!
The photo import feature is not available on Mac 10.4 and Linux.
For Android devices, it's best to use "Connect as Disk Drive". HTC Sync will not work.
To import from iPhone, make sure to unlock your phone and enter your passcode before importing, otherwise it will claim to find no photos.
If importing from your iPhone on Mac gives an import error, try hard resetting it--hold down the power and the home button for 5 seconds. This will reboot the phone; it shouldn't change your settings or delete data.
On Windows, this feature relies on Autoplay. Please enable Autoplay to use this feature if you have disabled it.
On XP and Vista, it relies on the Windows Image Acquisition Service. If this service is not started, please start the service and reinstall Dropbox to use this feature. On WIndows Server, you may have to install the Desktop Experience feature.
On Windows 7, newer devices that rely on Device Stage (in the Control Panel) will not show Dropbox as an import option until you select "Change Program" for the default.
The Galaxy Nexus takes a lot of time to connect on OS X because it likes to pretend that every image on the device is a photograph. We now estimate how long it's going to take and show you that in the progress bar but it's usually in the order of minutes. We're working to see if this can be improved.
As usual, we strongly recommend making a backup of your Dropbox before upgrading to this build as we'll need a few weeks to be certain of its stability. We will rapidly release new builds as necessary to snipe the most common issues as they arise."

Fastest way (tip i saw on g+) is to use beta desktop client provided in first post with those blank videos (you can put any avi or mp4 video on usb as well as long as it is in the dcim/camera foler and has not been uploaded to dropbox before and note 'renaming does not work') and use autorun dropbox import function.
must connect in mass storage mode or just plug microsd card ( usb reader and external hard drive does work as long as you keep proper folder structure dcim/camera). allow import to complete then in dropbox client 'pause syncing'. go to dropbox 'camera uploads' folder and delete files. again in dropbox client 'resume syncing' and thats it.
you just maxed 5GB without wasting all that time and bandwith!
note:you must have at least 4.5GB in pics and videos plus that one initial picture
another note: your maximum in pics and videos you want to import can not be greater than total dropbox ammount available to you or it will fail to sync properly. so best keep it around 5 just in case.

Got my extra 5GB already. Swhueet. My only worry is if Dropbox catch on; which they will. What will they do about it? Could they track who has been given large amounts of space, but not made any real difference in space in their online accounts? Could easily take the space back off us.

Did you happen to try it through your computer? Connecting your phone through USB and having dropbox give you the option to import to dropbrox, I believe through AutoPlay. Because I'm not getting an AutoPlay pop up when I connect my phone to the computer so I can't figure out how to do the import. I'm using USB mass storage mode (pulling down the shade and clicking Select to copy files...). Anyone else not getting the pop-up when you connect?
EDIT: My bad.... didn't realize AutoPlay was something that could be disabled and apparently is was disabled on my computer (though I don't remember doing that). Just hit the Windows button and type "autoplay", open it up and click the checkbox at the top.
Also, thanks for the tip!
Is this still working?

Doesn't box have an upload limit of 100mb or something like that? I need to upload a few large files that's why I was interested in dropbox.
So does anyone know if the beta promo is still running?

@theos0o best known for modding Skype from sgs forum has found a way to patch dropbox client into thinking we have regular htc phone, giving us aditional 3gb free for a year here
Last chance to get 5GB. New beta just came out that takes effect today, that lowers 5GB to 3GB.
"Yo ho ho, and a bottle of code!
We wanted to say a special thanks to all of our early beta users! Thanks to your feedback, we have been able to find and fix a bunch of bugs.
Starting today, new users of Camera Upload will get 500 MB after their first successful import. Users can also receive up to a total of 3 GB additional free space for photos and videos automatically uploaded via the desktop or mobile apps.
Forum build users who tested Camera Upload before today, either on the desktop or Android, will keep any additional storage space they received for trying the beta version, and will still be able to earn up to 5 GB."
@theos0o strikes again!
Now bringing 23GB free for 2 years. Deal with dropbox and new HTC devices.

OK, maybe this is better, I have to agree
Is that forever, though? The free 16GB I have from SugarSync is for 'life' as I understand it. If you upload 5GB once, does that give you 5GB forever, or if you delete files does it get removed from the availability?
As far as I know, the only temporary promos dropbox has are the ones with HTC 3GB/48GB respectively, for 12 months.
These should be yours for life*.

Well you should continue and get all you can. Of top of my head, use it for what they are giving these 5GB for. AUTO UPLOAD and simultaneous cloud as well as pc backup of your pics and videos without compromising pics resolution, videos being limited only by the free space on dropbox. Yes I'm looking at you google+ /picasa and box.net. Not bad for syncing Titanium backup with it as well.

Thought the most free space you could have at this point was like 12GB, guess I'm wrong

Thanks. Will try this and I hope it works...
EDIT:
Thanks yet again. Followed your advice and have received an upgrade of 4GB. Wow!!
attention: windows client autoplay feature doesn't work on win8 so far...
so no +4,5GB there, if you have win8 you have to use the android client (or a vm with any of the supported os's)
anyway, here are new beta-versions, should get rid of some bugs:

Sigh. My phone have been uploading since 11 o clock. 2 hours and still uploading! Haha.
Hi, for the past year I've been backing up my photos/videos automatically with DropBox. Unfortunately my 18GB of space is going to be full soon.
I tried Google Photo's auto backup, which says it offers unlimited space if the photo is not bigger than 1080p and 2048px, but my Nexus 5's photo's are always 2448 x 3264, I think it's because HDR is enabled.
So I can't use Google Photo's auto backup as it will fill up all my free space anyways, + the auto backup isn't as reliable as DropBox, it keeps stopping every time my phones screen turns off.
What should I do?

Yes but I was hoping there would be a way to have access to all my photos on my phone and not have it take up all the space on my phone.
The best part about Google Photo's it shows a cached version on your phone.

I use Google Photos but I haven't reached the limit yet. I also use One Drive wich syncs with my windows computer. I actually have a lot of cloud services and I don't know why. lol. Dropbox, Box, Googe Photos, One Drive. You can probably buy more storage from Google if you need it. Otherwise, just make room on Google photos by moving some stuff to your computer or use different cloud services. Not really anything else you can do if you are out of space.

I don't mind paying the $1.99/m for 100GB via Google.
Does Google Photos auto backup automatically free up space on your phone after it backups photos/videos? or would I still have to manually delete it from my phone?

You still have to manually delete them
My photos get uploaded to my own Server at home.
Therefor I know who can see them and I have enough storage (4TB is enough)
To do this I run an instance of Owncloud on Ubuntu Server.

Interesting, I have lots of spare 1TB drives at home from work.
Gonna look into OwnCloud now, never heard of it before.
Hopefully it's possible to set it up on the spare Raspberry PI's I have at home.
I think Ubuntu (or any other Linux) can run on a Raspberry Pi. So you should be able to set up Owncloud.
But remember: The Server has to be online almost 24/7 (except the time you sleep).
I also use more powerful Hardware (Intel Atom Dual-Core) and also host my own File Server, Calendar and Contacts Sync Server, Webserver, DLNA Server and News Aggregator.
I'm almost independent from any third Party cloud services. I just like to know where my data is
But believe me. It really was hard work to learn how to set up Ubuntu Server with all those services. It was a long process of learning until I got to this state to run it all safe and energy efficient while keeping it reliable.

I have a tasker task that runs when I close any of my camera apps. It looks for new photos taken in the last 15 minutes then moves them to a new folder. Then I trigger a FolderSync task to SFTP those photos to my NAS.
