50gb free

Don't forget to download box from the HP market. You get 50gb free and then you can use it on your android...

If I already have a 5GB box.net account, will they add 50 additional gigs when I download the app or am I stuck with only 5GB because I have an existing account?
My touchpad hasn't arrived yet so I can't test this out myself yet. Thanks.

Current Box subscribers with personal 5GB accounts will automatically get 50GB added to their accounts.

lol, you can actually make as many accounts as you want with the 50GB. note that the limitation of a free account still hold true, you just have 50GB vs 5GB.
wish they would make sync available on this, would be a dropbox killer

I was about to post this as well. I'm glad everyone is staying informed. Can't wait to receive both of my Touchpad orders.

Reportedly, that 50GB is for life.
The big question is, your life or the life of the tablet?

Great..now I feel even better about getting hosed by onsale...and it says life of the account.

Considering that the account they give you also works for non-touchpad devices, it will either be your life, or the life of the company.

Yep, just wished it would sync like dropbox without having to pay the premium. I use free dropbox like some do Carbonite. 50gb in that scenario would be awesome.

Viewsonic Viewbook vb730

Could we get some love for the Viewsonic Viewbook vb730 on XDA? I know that it's not that popular of a tablet but it would be cool to have a place for questions.

Agree... Should any big head of Xda help me on this? New firmware? Best software for this?

Do you have the vb730? I'd like your thoughts on this device. How much drive space is set aside for apps. This looks like the tablet for me. I just think the reviews do not give it justice.

Yes I do. I am using a Vb730. I do think it is a combination product of tablet and E-reader.
The Internal Memory is 8GB and the space for data application is about 5 GB/8GB. But you can expand the capacity by Micro SD... I am using 16 GB Micro SD card (around 30$ I think)
For an e-reader, it use LCD screen so could be not very good for your eyes.
For a tablet, it is not multiple touch screen so you can not use two of your finger the same time.
Most of the Android software can be installed by using Explorer software of this. It is quite simple. However, you could not install Android Market Software... But you can use Amazon Application...
I do think it is quite good with the price you have to pay...

Thanks. Now just waiting for Christmas to get this or the Galaxy Tab 7. I really think the vb would suit me fine.

heard the same thing and also something about an update will release it to the user. Maybe if we ever get ics we will see.

I will confirm that the "missing" ram is dedicated to the GPU. As far as updates freeing it, that is extremely unlikely, where it's at the point where I would say there's no chance at all. Doing so would gimp the GPU too much.
An old version of morfic's kernel freed about 30mb, but it no longer does so for that exact reason.

I didn't mean to come off as a prick but I had to say it cause I was thinking I hope they aren't looking at their internal storage and confusing it for RAM, but you were. That is why it is so hilarious. I made the mistake too before I got all nerdy.

havent played with it a ton but i thought it would be great for backing up my titanium backup and pics and stuff between flashes.
if anyone figures out how to upload a folder from your phone let me know how please =)

Can't upload large files. Tried to upload a Tom but it said that the file was too big.

Can't upload a folder, but you can create a folder on Box and upload into it.
Lower left of box app is a plus sign on top of a folder, click that to create your folder.

Even with the huge amount of space, no folder uploads, small upload limit, and no desktop client makes box pretty much useless. Dropbox dominates because it has these features.

Ive had that for a long time. I had to download an app which you had to login to with your Box details, then it somehow made the actual Box think that it was a certain phone (LG or SE?) that could get 50GB free and then voila.

one thing ive found out recently is that with dropbox you can set it to automatically backup your pictures (when on wifi if you want)
which is great because i always forget to back them up when changing roms (constantly)
and have lost a ton of pictures!

Just took advantage of this. Thanks for looking out.

Dropbox is about to remove illegitimate 23GB free space

Users who installed any Sense 4 ROM would also have a chance to get free 23GB extra space from HTC One promotions, but looks like this illegitimate method of getting free 23GB has been caught by the Dropbox itself.
So I think I should get my files on Dropbox as soon as possible before they deleted it because 23GB free space I've got is the illegitimate method by using ported Sense 4 ROM.
Official statement from Dropbox support:
The official Dropbox 23GB HTC promotion will not start until sometime early this month, when the devices are released. To earn the extra 23GB of extra Dropbox space you will need to link your HTC Sense 4.0 device to your Dropbox account and complete “Get Started.”
The method to earn 23GB that is being circulated on the XDA Developers forum and on other blogs and forums is illegitimate. We plan to remove any space received using this method.
Downloading apps from unknown sources is not a good idea, as they might have been modified to include malicious code. We strongly recommend that you only install the Android Dropbox app via Google Play (formerly known as the the Android Market) or from official download links on Dropbox.com.
I hope this helps.
best,
Sean

Thank you for posting that!

so should I remove ALL my files of my dropbox account?
maybe they will only remove the extra 32Gb and leave the previous space
what do you think?
thanks for the info!

They will remove the 23GB that was part of the promo but leave what you had before.
So you don't need to remove all your files.

NOOOOOOO!!!
what a bummer
they've cut me down...
shame they don't sell a middle package like extra 10GB for USD 2-3$ a month... I would've bought it...

my 53gb just became 30. well, i guess this was bound to happen specially if they haven't even released the devices .

if you'll find any other way to get it back please let me know...
BTW , if you guys don't know it there are some pretty simple ways to gain up to gain like 640MB... https://www.dropbox.com/free

Can't remember how I got there, I think by installing first ICS release, beta apk, + few other promotions but hey, check my storage I didn't get 23gb with sense 4 though. Will try it now.

Because box.net sucks badly. No Linux or Windows Clients, you must use WebDAV and it's slowly as hell. And the sync doesn't work. Also I like Dropbox camera upload feature.
