Hi. How can I upload a big video file (~300MB) from my Windows Phone 7 to any online service without resizing the 720p video? Skydrive, Dropbox, Youtube, anything is ok. I have a rooted Nokia Lumia 710 running Rataplan ROM
Move to Cloud is otherwise a really nice app to upload anything to SkyDrive, but there is this nasty filesize limit of about 50-100MB.
Built-in Internet Explorer browser can't upload any files anywehere.
Opera seems to, in principle, allow uploading, but I haven't succeed.
Any advise?

I am curious if any of you use your TF for doing presentations for clients at wherever you work.
I have a couple of apple guys in the office and with their Ipads they have downloaded a program called "Portfolio" which I have not found in our Android market.
The basic functionality is that it lets them break up galleries into folders, so they create a folder for each product. Then for the client they can just click on the folder for the product they want to see and can show them photos/pdfs/etc.
Is there any way we can do that with either the standard gallery or another gallery?
U don't need special app to makes different folders for your different clients. The stock gallery already supports this.
Go to your SD card via any file manager, create a folder "client". Then create more folders within "client", name each of these folders with your clients name. Then drop the related files in their respective folders.
The stock gallery should pic this up and display your client's name in folders.
Apart from that, u can try Quickpic as an alternative gallery, its more flexible compared to stock gallery.

+1 for QuickPic.
Also recommending QuickPic.
If we could only have Quickpic with the smoothness of JustPictures ^^
Thanks for the tips!
Quick question, if we have some marketing videos that I would also want to use that are either in Quicktime or WMV will they work on the transformer or do I need to convert them to something else? If so, what is the best for conversion (both time, ease, and quality)?

Yes for WMV as long as the resolution isn't too high (1080p isn't smooth with this format, I've tried. 720p or lower is fine for me), but you'll need to convert Quicktime into a more useable format such as MP4. You can use Handbrake to convert it, it's free so nothing to lose in trying it out.
I have been trying to share uploaded videos from my phone to skydrive. I can get it to upload. it uploads to my mobile uploads folder but when i try to get a link to share only pictures in that folder show up and not videos. Does anyone know if this is possible or if I am doing something wrong? How else can we share videos that are too large to email from our phones.
shared folder
how do you even get files to show up in the shared folder on your phone?
i have a samsung focus with mango 7712
why not youtube them ?
directly from phone?
I believe that you tubing it involves emailing to you tube (I could be wrong) so that might not help
so there is no way to share videos if you can't email them?
Have you got the latest Silverlight installed ?
Are the folder permissions on SkyDrive set correctly ?
When I view the link that the "get a link" process generates sometimes I get a Silverlight error but a browser restart fixes it.
What you have explained is how I share vids direct from from phone (since mango) so it does work

Having the same "problem" though probably just not doing something correcly.
The video appears in the Mobile Uploads directory and I can play it back when logged on via a browser.
However the generated shared link when loaded in a browser just shows the standard picture carousel. The video is not an entry.
So how canI share these videos with my friends?
How is it possible:
1. Sync photos between Skydrive and Windows Phone 7.5 in original resulution ?
2. How to sync MP3 files between Skydrive and Zune player in Windows Phone 7.5 ?
Thanks for help and ideas.
1) I don't think it's possible but I could be wrong.
2) Skydrive can't be used for Zune cloud storage. Microsoft wants you to stream music using Zune Pass so there would be no need to store music locally or in the cloud.

1. no sync, you can only upload via Skydrive app
2. its not possible...
MS makes strange features... Autoupload from photo app to Skydrive resizes photos to 1/4 of original size, so its unusable... There is no internet on every places, why only stream music from cloud? There are many and many stupid things in WP...
So I have two apps that I would recomend to use if you want to stream music from the cloud:
Music Cloud - Use with SoundCloud
StreamBox7 - Use with DropBox
Both apps have a free trail along with a paid version.
Hopefully this may help you out some.
it sucks that the screen resolution gets changed, i hope this problem is getting fixed by microsoft.
Ach, jo.
What I need is so simple:
1. Sync music from Skydrive to my Phone Zune\
2. Sync pictures from Skydrive to Picture Hub with Folder support.
3. Sync IE Favorites from Skydrive to IE.
4. VPN [ SSL VPN, IPSEC ]
Why first 3 areso difficult to build in ?
I must mention that the following is certainly possible and probably best amongst all mobile OSs I have used
Sync Photos between Skydrive and Picture Hub
1. Upload your photos to the SkyDrive associated with the Live ID used as the Primary Live ID of the device. You can do this either via SkyDrive app on WP or use SkyDrive website via computer (which is easier obviously).
2. You must set the folder to which you have uploaded your photos as "Photos" to make sure it syncs and shows up in Pictures Hub. Otherwise, this folder will be tagged as "Documents" or "Others" which may show up in the Office Hub but the pictures will not be recognized.

Yeah, I found it also. If you upload photo via function "share"
its uploaded to Skydrive and If I will make HW reset I can just easily
open this pictures from Skydrive, and are automatically synced to Pictures Hub via WIFI or Data connection.
It's mean that at the first time I have to connect to wifi or data connection and download the pictures and then I got it there.
But still missing SYNC IE favorites or music via Skydrive.
Is MS preparing something new for us ?

It must be "photos" in folder name (not exactly "Photos"), i have folder "Photos Full Resolution" and it syncs with photo hub also
Is there a way to watch videos loaded in SkyDrive on you device?
Sent from my Lumia 900 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
Yeah you can. You just have to make a folder and if you're using SkyDrive.com, click on the checkbox of that folder and click on the 'Information' tab in the right column. In 'Folder Type' change it from Documents (the default) to Photos.
Now if you go to that folder in the Pictures Hub or the SkyDrive app, you should see the thumbnail for the video. But of course Windows Phone will only play the video files its supports natively, i.e. MP4 files.
Hope this works for you (it works for me!)
Awesome thanks!

Holy crap this is awesome. I have been looking for a way to control what albums / folders show up in the photo hub. This totally does this, along with the playing .mp4 benefit. Thanks!
Awesome sauce! Couldn't get it to work in the Pictures Hub at first, but somehow it did after I refreshed SkyDrive on my browser. Didn't work even after syncing my email and SkyDrive on my phone, or maybe it just happened to refresh on my phone afterwards too.
Edit// Oh right, I did try uploading a picture as well, maybe it refreshed after that.
Can't get it to work. Do you upload using the SkyDrive website or the app that was released last week. I used the app.

[UPDATE: Never mind. I had to restart the Skydrive program on my PC for some reason to get it to start the sync.]
I'm having trouble, too. I'm not sure what the correct sequence is.
I created a folder on my PC in the SkyDrive folder that was created when I installed the "app". Then I put a video file into it. I thought it would sync and create a parallel folder on the Skydrive site. Nothing happened. So I created a folder with the same name on Skydrive. The file from my PC didn't sync. I looked for a way to manually sync on both my PC and Skydrive but couldn't find any.
I also tried to drag my file to Skydrive but it complained it was more than 300k (IIRC).
Please tell me what the correct sequence is to get a new folder created on Skydrive and to sync files from my PC.

Only way I can get movies to play is view skydrive through the browser. Vids don't show in my pictures hub and on the skydrive app, it just gives me the vid details when I tap it.
To watch MP4 videos directly from SkyDrive, need right MP4...
Not all MP4 files are created alike, unfortunately.
My old videos are from a (gasp) Palm Pre.
Converted them to Microsoft Zune HD WMV movie format with "Any Video Converter" (freeware), and volia! I can watch them on my phone again (without taking up the space!!!)
For some reason the conversion to some of the other MP4 type files did not work as well as the WMV format for me. I don't pretend to be a videofile, but works well enough. They're not high quality vids in the first place.
Oh, and if you are having trouble with a "new folder" on your SkyDrive folder in your computer showing up online, try refreshing the SkyDrive page, or log/in out. It should pop up.
i'm going to change my mobile, so i want to save my media from whatsapp.. not only the photos, but the videos too! They stay at media group, so they should been saved somewhere in the phone... i tried WMDC, but i cannot do a full unlock im my Omina W, i guess, and tried webserver but the isolatedstorage seems to be empty for me.
