There's like seriously so many ways.
The 3 easiest that I use are; Dropbox, ADBWireless, and Chrome2Phone.
While only one of them is actually local (ADBWireless), the other 2 are just as quick, just as effective and just as easy.
and number 4 Awseome Drop

You could use the chrome to phone firefox extension to send the link for the apk to the phone, and use wifi to download it.
I am trying to get my hands on a working copy of Media Hub for my T-Mobile tab, does anyone have a working copy or know where i can get one? There is a copy used on the AT&T tab here at the forums, which works great, but that one intails changing some build.prop files and by doing so i no longer have access to the Samsung Apps app and it changes my tab to T849.
Hope sonebody can help me out.

EDIT: no need for the app as i will be keeping the one used for the AT&T tab, i just restored my original build.prop, that fixed my Samsung Apps app and my signature.
In this thread, I just want to discuss what online cloud storage you use and your setup. It would be awesome if you could rate, or just describe your experience using it.Recently I've been thinking of paying for one of these services. The future seems more and more integrated with the cloud. Thinking of buying extra Google Drive storage to go with full-res upload on Google+. Also does anyone use a NAS server on their Wi-Fi Network? If so also let us know about it, really interested in that too.
So...
I currently use my HTC One X with Dropbox, Instant Upload enabled. In addition I store my iPhoto library on Dropbox. Everything is synced seamlessly, however takes forever for me to download them.:silly:
SkyDrive
Personaly i use SkyDrive since i am one of the older users i got the free 25GB of storage and no other service has been able to top this yet.
I use both the desktop software and the network drive mapping trick if i am on a computer without admin permissions.
I mainly store files here handy to other people or files that i want to be able to access easily on a range of diffrent computers.
In addition i got a 1GB network share hosted by DD-WRT for easy file transfers over the network.
I'm the dev of Send It - which integrates a bunch of cloud storage solutions (not trying to plug just giving my experience of using them all).
In my testing I've found Google Drive or SkyDrive to be the best implementations from a technical standpoint. Dropbox I found to be very slow both uploading and downloading compared to those. Box is also a nice solution and if you have an LG device you get 50GB free, but I found the online UI pretty clunky.
If you're looking to use it from a Phone then I would suggest Google Drive just because if you already use Google services its so much easier. Or if not SkyDrive. My 2 cents
Google Drive, because it is most reliable and fast, plus it is integrated with google services that i use, and Google provides simple desktop and mobile app for sync (i know that almoust every storage service have it, but i like simplicity of Google one)
I'm sticking with dropbox, simply because of how fast and simple it is!

Just getting into dropbox and mediafire however I find that wetransfer is a great alternative to storing data in your gmail. Also teamviewer allows remote connections very simply and easily to store data via xfer to remote computer tablet or smartphone

I'm using the cloud storage of One.Com, because my website is hosted there, too. you get 5 GB at first, the first year is free. pretty fast and can be integrated into windows as an "network" drive, there is an app for Ios and android, too.
Some advice please?

Well, thanks for letting me know bout Send It. Its Really Neat, great job. Its probably making lots of people think, why didn't I think of that, it is so simple yet it works flawlessly.
However, what I want to ask is, is using a few cloud services to have this "safety-net" if any of these cloud storage services fails so that I don't lose my work a good idea? Or is it already safe enough? Its not about the lack of storage though. I just want to know that my files are safe and backed up so I don't have to worry about it. Is what I am thinking really not worth the cumbersome mess where Less is More applies? Any help is really appreciated
I am currently using Dropbox and Box. I use Dropbox the most because it is faster and allows for larger uploads. I currently have 25GB of space to use (thank you fiverr). I use my Box account for documents, some music, and smaller backup files since it is slower and has an upload files limit of 250MB. I was able to get it early when it just started and have a 50GB account with them.

I do not use cloud storage except Google Music, it really help free up my phone storage. Though I still keep songs my phone, I have all my songs streamable which is nice.

i think skydrive is great for windows phone users as all office files, pictures etc get uploaded in a touch.also some apps allow skydrive backups
I have no problems using Dropbox. However when I am using it on mobile too I don't put large bulky files in it.

I suppose it depends on how easily you can upload to multiple services at once. Cloud storage is great for portability for but offline backups are always the best as you control them. Most, if not all, of these services have versioning too which is some form of backup if you accidentally overwrite a file. That's a big reason of why DropBox became so popular was ease of use, you didn't have to do anything.
I find Dropbox best for my pc, on my phone I use SkyDrive via Send It to quickly sync specific files, all of them have something different to offer. Personally I would say try a few and see which best fits your needs and then stick with one

Google drive and skydrive are best ever

Also you should know the popularity of dropbox ...
I am glad I found this thread as I was getting ready to ask the same question as the OP.
I have been using Ubuntu One which will give you 5.5 GBs of space if you use this referral link (5 GBs if you go directly to their website without using the referral link):
http://bit.ly/VOm9O7
I like it a lot:
Simple to use Android and PC interface.
Good layout on webpage.
Automatically syncs from phone.
Decent amount of space if you have a referral link.
But there are two things I don't like. First, it will not let you pick what additional folders you want to have automatically sync'd. Second, it doesn't appear to allow uploading videos saved in the Android camera folders (it might if selecting each video manually but that ties into the first issue).
So that brings me to my question. Does anyone know of a service that allows users to pick and choose what folders they want to have automatically synced to the cloud? If I could just do pictures and videos; that would be awesome! Additionally, SMS and MMS messages and maybe contacts would be nice as well.
Skydrive since almost the day it came out. Awesome integration with Windows 8, Surface and WP8.
Box and google drive. Box is the best cloud service and astro file manager helps me managing my files. Though there is already a box app in the play store but astro file manager is much easy to manage the files.

PogoPlug, because the oly cost is for the device, and the only limit to your storage space is the size of the HDD(s) you connect to it!
Well, thanks for all the advice, but what i really am interested in is a secure way to backup my photos. I believe that cloud storage is a lot safer somehow, but has no privacy, not that I care much. A downside might be cost, but don't have to worry about that for another year. 25GB of Dropbox from HTC . I think the more backups you have, the better? If I am just going to keep local copies, what are some good Photo Library apps for a Mac? Mac and Android Fan, no, not an alien. Or is there a way to set up a private wireless drive and upload straight from the phone.

Hey everyone!
I was looking at a few storage apps like Drive, Box, Dropbox, and Ubuntu One and was trying to think of how to better make use them. Anyone any neat ways they are using the cloud that they would to share? Best I've come up with is using it to access files that I use often that may get erased from my device with flashing new roms.
Looking forward to using it in more creative ways so thanks for any input you guys have to offer!
I like to store apps that you can't download from the play store or those complimentary paid versions like BetterBatteryStats and SetCPU. That way I can easily download them or share them with a friend. I store my wallpapers so I can share them between all devices (I change it a lot.) My most useful one is for BitTorrent. If you're out and about and someone says "Hey, have you seen this movie?" I always forget to download it when I get home but if you set up a folder on one of your cloud services that syncs to your PC you can set your BitTorrent client to pull new torrents from that folder. Basically, you download the torrent file and then upload it to the cloud. If you keep your computer on then it'll be ready to watch when you get home.

Keeping copies of anything I'm willing to lose or be seen by the man
I use foldersync to backup my photos and documents (among other things) to my cloud services like Sugarsync, gdrive and Dropbox. All my app backups from titanium go to Dropbox .
Cloud storage is extremely useful.
I guess I hoped there would be some more efficient and effective way to use the space... Something other than just saving stuff there... So far I have come up with scanning receipts and saving them to my Google drive account for later use if needed. It would be nice if other apps could access the information easily as well. Basically making it an extension of the tablet or phone's storage.

Depends what you want. I use evernote for receipts because of its amazing search and tagging options. Documents I share with work are in Sugarsync. Goggle drive is awesome for larger documents.
Unfortunately, I haven't found one service that does it all, so I split between different services depending on what needs to be done.

I have been using different cloud applications from last 11 months and the basic reason of using it is to keep all my office and personal data on the roll Which is the best? I like Dropbox!

Did you guys hear about CloudOn? It allows you to access your Box, Dropbox, Google Drive and SkyDrive account through a single APP, CloudOn.

Hi, I'm been using the paid version of MyLogs by Ambitico for logging various health-related information. While the app offers the ability to export data to .cvs files, it seems impossible to re-import those .cvs files if they've been modified. Plus, the charting feature is very limited.
What I'd like is an app I can use to log and chart my data, back it up to Google Drive, and import data that I've entered on my computer. There is a host of logging apps on Google Play that look like they MIGHT work. Can anyone recommend an app that meets these criteria, or perhaps another method of accomplishing this? Thanks!
