I now have this lovely Droid Charge with a 32GB Sd card. Is there a way to have dropbox truely sync like it does for the desktop version?
Dropbox app. Doesn't auto sync files though. You have to download them manually.
Yeah is there a way to have it auto sync all my files. I would hate to have to manaully download all my files.
I'm thinking that they don't set it up this way to avoid battery drain, and being blamed for excess data charges. Not everyone has unlimited data, and having the option to auto-sync available could end up costing a lot of people that don't know better money.
Sugarsync
Well I was able to find this great program Sugarsync and will sync to the phone. Also they offer 5GBs free. Also you get 500MB more for each you refer.

If you don't have a SugarSync account, click HERE to open one and get 5.5GB of initial free space instead of normal 5GB without a referral.
Steps to get the EXTRA 2GB:
1) Log-in to SugarSync
2) Click on "Getting Started"
3) Click on "Give 20 friends free storage, and we'll give you 2GB"
4) Choose account and choose 20 emails that SugarSync will send an e-mail (they technically don't have to be your friends...)
Note : I suggest you change your password after your log-in (just in case...)

btw, I would like to mention that they do say "for a limited time only"...
Thanks, mate. That was easy!
cheers, just made a couple.
I have a Box account. I'm trying to find the value in it, as I currently use Dropbox. Does anyone here use Box in conjunction with Dropbox?
The Box sync application for PC seems to work well, but I don't see any utility that Dropbox doesn't handle. The file size limit (Box) is pretty debilitating.
How do you handle your file syncing?
I actually use 3 different syncing services: Google Drive, Dropbox and SkyDrive, each with its own specialty.
I use Dropbox for all of my pictures (they recently made a nice improvement on their site which lets you organize with a nice GUI your albums and photos).
I use Google Drive to sync my class notes because it integrates quite usefully with Evernote (using IFTTT). I also manage my personal stuff with Google Drive where I have a 2-step authentication to protect these files.
SkyDrive is mainly used for Excel, Word and PowerPoint files across my work and home computers.

Ah, nice. I forgot to mention that I also use Google Drive. I'm a bit disorganized in what I use each of my syncing services for. I recently signed up for Skydrive too lol; haven't used it yet though.
Thanks for sharing.
I use Box for all my personal stuff. I also use Dropbox, but that is for business/work stuff.
I like box better (now) because they gave me 50GB free for life, whereas drop box only gave me 26GB for 2 years.. Though drop box has a better ui and site

I use Dropbox for pictures and managing my nooks ebook collection (via dropsync on the device).
Box is used exclusively for android phone stuff like backing up apk's, wallpapers, ring tones, and syncing titanium backup. Basically it's useful for instances where you have lots of small files that add up real fast (which is no problem thanks to the 50 gb of storage).
I also use Google drive because I don't do much word processing anymore and don't even have an office suite installed on my computer. It's basically used for the occasional letter or for updating my resume.
Used to use sugarsync while I was in school so I always had access to school stuff (spread all over my hdd) but haven't even logged in in months.

I use both, i like dropbox better but i have more free space through box.
How'd you guys get the 50gb on Box? From the app page all I see is 5gb they're offering :/
& to answer your question OP, I'm using Dropbox + Google Drive. Dropbox has a superb UI and is just much easier to use.
They ran a couple of specials a while ago for iPhone and Android owners that offered 50 Gb if you installed their mobile app. Suffice it to say that the offer was too good for most of us to resist even with their file size limits.

Was able to get 25gb for box for running windows 8 on a dell computer. Good enough, same as dropbox. I also use google drive for school and Ubuntu one to transfer files through multiple computers/devices.

Same. Box has a sketchy terms and conditions thing though. They take your address book and stuff for no reason.

Yeah box was the way to go when they offered the 50gb signup promo. I got 150gb signing up with three different email addresses.
Dropbox for syncing, skydive for backups. I keep my music on Google play.
Check out an app called Foldersync. It is amazing for keeping all of your files in sync with all of your services. Free version does scheduled sync but paid version does instant sync. Both do two way sync, and both sync deletions. Highly recommended.

Hi Guys,
I'm paranoid about loosing stuff, so I use 4 services for pictures. Yeah it's too many, but hey they are free
For only pictures I use Flickr.
Flickr gives you 1TB(!) of space, and that's whole lost, even if you record in HD. There's an app called "Flickr Uploader" that auto upload my stuff, set it forget it.
For the rest and pictures, I use Dropbox, Box, and Google.
There is a neat trick I just came up with, since my 25GB Dropbox account will expire soon, and I got 50GB at Box in that promotion...
I just moved my Dropbox folder on my PC into my Box Sync folder, and blam, now both Dropbox and Box have the same stuff So easy and it works like a charm...
I think Dropbox is more robust, and seems to work faster, but if my account expires, I don't think I'll pay for it, because for pictures, that are my main uploaded content, Flickr and Google+ are better.
Peace
I think you're all mad. Do you seriously think these companies are offering""FREE"" storage?
They look at your files, shared drives and resources, etc etc etc.
Download BOXCRYPTER. It will encrypt all contents to your cloud storage service.
Great thing about BOX is that they support WebDAV!!!
It is by far the best for collaboration, commenting, permissions, privacy, etc. ..
BOX.NET / BOX. COM = Absolutely Bloody Brilliant!!!!
Android iPhone blackberry. .. Their apps all support Box or WebDav, obviously some don't, however I've been successful in twisting either native Box API , or BOX WebDav configuration.
If you ate going to collaborate with others, then you really should go see your doctor, if you don't choose Box!

If you want higher security than Box and still be able to collaborate, then check out DumpTruck. They are 101% anonymous and implement all the necessary steps for fault tolerance, security, and anonymity.
Die once in your life you won't feel violated with other people (the owners / provider) going through all your data....
But for free services you can always look into Mega who are also serious about not violating their users and paying customers and visitors.
Hello everyone. I have been trying to find a solution for a couple days now for a reliable auto upload video/images app. I'm using the zenfone 4 max
I am currently using nextcloud app which auto uploads videos/images to my private nextcloud server which has been pretty good until last night.
I took a video which was 300mb and the app only uploaded 143 mb and resulted in a corrupted upload file.
I choose nextcloud over dropbox because I am trying to avoid paid subscription services.
Nextcloud server is on a shared hostgator account and wifi was on the whole time.
Appreciate any input.
I use Degoo with offers a 100GB free upload server, and Google Drive, which is $2 per month for 100GB.
