its a simple app... you can download for free and use... no program needed on the computer... you open the program on your phone and it tells you an address that will connect you to your phone with a simple file interface... its password protected so its secure as you want it to be...
I like it so much I paid for it and it allows you to stream music from your phone to your computer, view pictures from the browser to dl them....
all you need is to be on the same router as the computer and you can share files back and forth

Any suggestions? Would like something that I can use both on my phone and on my computer that will sync together easily.
I came across KeePass and SplashId. Anyone have any experience with either of these? Or any other option for that matter?
thanks
I don't know about those, but I've been using LastPass ever since I found out about it. I love it and don't see a reason to ever change. It has computer-browser addons for all browsers (at least the main ones i.e. Chrome, FireFox, IE, Safari, probably Oprah too). And it automatically syncs with your online account.
I'm using keepassDroid and keepassx, synced via Dropbox. Note that you need keepass[x] V 1.x on the PC for full compatibility. Syncs easily between Android, Windows and Linux.
Definitely LastPass:
it stores all data remotely, so you don't have to sync between devices
it has WWW interface, so you could access your passwords even on a PC without LastPast installed
it has application for Android
it has plugins for many desktop browsers and for Dolphin Browser for Android. These plugins are awesome - they auto-fill forms or even auto login you, they detect registration forms and ask you to generate and fill password automatically, then save your new site, etc.
It's free to use on a PC, but if you want to use it on Android, then you have to pay 1$/month.
Keepassdroid

I would stick to keepassdroid and dropbox. Keepassdroid is open source and available for nearly every platform. I use it for more then 10 years now on different platforms and never had problems. Import and Export is available too, in case you need data migration, which is real problem for some other apps which lock you in...

That's about right, I also use keepass combined with Dropbox.
Im also using keepass in conjunction with dropbox (encrypted with truecrypt).
I'm was wondering if any of you who are using online password keepers ever wonder who can access your personal data when storing it online. I would be sceptical to this....

Another vote for Keepass and Dropbox.
I use it on 2 computers (Windows XP and Windows 7), an Android phone, and an Android tablet.

And you store your personal data on a Dropbox, so online - right?
I use LastPass and I really like it. It encrypts/decrypts data on a client side, so 3th party doesn't have access to it. Actually this is exactly the same as Keepass + Dropbox solution, but fully automatic, with browser access, etc. I was using Keepass previously, but LastPass is much, much better.
I use Password Safe
I use SplashID.
My favorite AndroXplorer v.3
I use SplashId, it works just fine for me.
On Android I use KeePass with DropBox.
Otherwise I use LastPass.
I use Catch! Used to be calld 3banana. Best note application I have found, been using it for months now. I have it set to use a 4 digit PIN to log into the app.
It may not be your cup of tea for managing passwords, but it's how I like to manage mine.
Hope that helps!
I use one password, syncs with dropbox and is compatable with everything

Hi,
When I save a file to the drop box folder on my TF...does it automatically sync?
So far the ad says "instantly available to your other devices" but it hasn't done anything yet..
Nope. You have to download each item that you want to use on your mobile device. Either the Android version is kind of obsolete or it is to save memory.
It is not just the Android version. The iphone one also requires the user to download the item in question.
thanks guys...that cleared it up...
I much prefer that it downloads only when I want to open the document. Saves on bandwidth.
Look at it this way - if you have the 50 or 100GB plans, the phone would fill up as soon as you said "Sync All". It would be a very dangerous option.
Coming from someone who does have a 50GB plan, I'm very glad there isn't an auto-sync feature. It would be nice if you could set certain folders inside Dropbox to always auto-sync though.
mobile version of dropbox doesn't or shouldn't have the auto-sync feature...or it will be nightmare since I have a bunch of shared folders...
If you want autosync then syncness will sync dropbox folders as well as samba shares. Alternatively sugarsync is an alternative.

So I finally got printing all worked out on my captivate. I have a wireless printer and really want to leave the laptop on the desk and use my phone for everything. The one major problem has been printing. Finally, here's an answer...
To Print from your Captivate, it will cost you about $4.50 (or limit yourself to 3 docs a month.)
General Printing - test this first
Get PrintBot from the market (free version to test out - supposed to cover 2700 wireless printers)
Open it and setup your printer. My settings are...
Network Connection : Protocol - Auto Printer - choose your own
Printer : Re-select your printer
And print a test page. If this works, you are in business
Printing an Excel or Word Document:
Printbot is great for pictures and pdfs, but it doesn't print office docs, so those that your coworker emailed you just sit there So here's the great workaround.
First make sure you install these two programs:
From the market, find and install google documents, open it and sign in. Make sure you can use this on your cappy.
From the market, find "My Docs - Google Docs" (by RCS, LLC), install it and sign in.
Now you are about ready! Don't give up hope to soon!
You must upload your file to Google Docs, but for some odd reason it doesn't allow you to upload xls into it (unless I'm and idiot and can't find the upload button). But "My Docs" allows this. So open up My docs, click upload, and choose your file. It will be uploaded to your google docs account. You can close mydocs, it has served it's purpose.
Open your google documents (called "Docs" in the app drawer), find the file you uploaded (don't need to open it), from the arrow on the right side - open the pull down menu and click "SEND", choose "PrintBot" from the menu and your doc should start to print. Whew! Lots of steps, but it's done and printed. Caution! Watchout for multipage excel files, it will print each and every worksheet.
And Finally Printing Email from Gmail:
For some crazy reason, none of these programs interface easily. So you are in your gmail app and want to print off your free redbox rental code or some password you keep forgetting. Leave the email alone and open up your browser (yep, back to the www).
Go to the online version of mobile gmail. Sign in and open the email you want to print (I set up a shortcut on my homescreen). On the right side of the email, open the pulldown menu (double down arrows) and click "Print". This will open up google cloud print. You should have an option to "save to google docs" where it converts your email to a pdf and stores it in google docs. Then click "PRINT", it will create a pdf document of your email. you can close the www, or just surf around for a while...
Now back to google documents on you phone, find the pdf, click the menu on the right, click send and send it to Printbot. It will print your pdf.
And that's the whole 99 steps to printing documents with your captivate. OO) Actually it works pretty quick as long as you use your home wifi. I tested it with excel, word, and gmail files.
Good luck - Will
Or, check out Cypria Free from the market.

That would work for photos, but I wanted emails, excel, word too. Plus Cypria is epson printers. But I'm sure it works great for most uses.
Sorry about the epson part. Wasn't thinking about everyone else.
Try Printer Share from the market. Works for more printers and prints almost everything.

That looks like it would work better, and has the with the ability to choose which pages to print. A bit more expensive, but probably worth it of you printed a fair number of pages.
It was free in Amazon app market a while back. Maybe the will do it again.

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.
