Dropbox Alternative - Vibrant General

I know some of you don't go out of the Vibrant section often (I don't).
But here's a great alternative to dropbox:
minus.com
It comes with 10 GB of space and 2 GB file upload limits. Plus it has native a native android app as well.
I'd really appreciate if you used my link to sign up for it.

Thanks.

There's no need for that. I got my 50GB the same day. Just search it on the vibrant section and you'll see instructions on how to do it.

I'd stay away from CX.com. I was sucked in by the amount of free storage they allowed, but in the process of backing up my files more than half of the files on my hard drive were deleted. I did extensive searching, and they were not moved - they were gone. I emailed CX a half dozen times begging for help, hoping it was part of their backup process and that they could help me easily restore the files. I never got a response to any of my emails, and when logged into my account the dashboard said I had no outstanding inquiries - my emails to tech support disappeared just like my files.
In the end I had to go through 500 folders, each with 3-5 subfolders and many files in each one, to find the stuff that had been erased and individually download them back to my PC. There wasn't even a way to DL the folders with all their contents; I had to DL each and every one, one at a time.
Steer clear, and good luck.

Good to know, I actually only tried it once but have since moved to D-H.ST as my main source of uploading, well that and my box, dropbox, accounts
Thanks for sharing! Can I ask a question though, Do any of these cloud services not have a upload size file limit on a free account? I think dev-host says 512mb and CX has a 200mb limit and mediafire also had some limits. I don't remember Box or Dropbox, but are there others(free accounts)?
Sent from my R800i using xda premium
Dropbox or Box hasnt got any limit, except the space your storage. Btw, if you install Box on your Xperia, you will get free 50GB space
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
If I'm not mistaken box does have an upload size limit (100mb) for free account...but its been a while since I've tried. that was also from the app.

[APP] SugarSync, the best Dropbox alternative. 5GB free storage

Hey guys, I recently just decided to join the Dropbox/ Cloud storage initiative. I found the best possible Cloud storage service called SugarSync.
The best thing about it, is that unlike Dropbox, You can sync any folder on your pc, as well as having a Universal folder that syncs with every device like Dropbox.
The second best thing is that you get 5GB of storage instead of 2GB, and upto 32GB through referrals, unlike 16GB in Dropbox.
The last thing I love is that with SugarSync you can Sync entire folders with your phone unlike Dropbox, where you can only sync a file at a time.
Anyway instead of me talking about it have a try for yourself. Just click on this link SugarSync, to get 5.5GB storage instead of the 5GB that comes with it, or click the link in my Signature.
Hope you like it as much as I do.
I still prefer box. It gives you 50 gb of storage if u use lg phones

Oh ok, well if that's true, that would be good, but besides that all the features SugarSync gives is pretty awesome =)
Problem with box.net is that it has no PC sync, some people like me really can't live without that... having the same music on a laptop, a PC and my phone, with no effort
Also my C++ projects are on it, so I can.work on them anytime, without a usb stick, and then download in class
So I use dropbox

And the 100mb upload limit is ridiculous. So far Sugarsync to me seems the best option, beter then dropbox definately. Try it for yourselves anyway...
i'll try this one out anyway.

Just a small update, although SugarSync doesnt have a native linux app, It does work fine on Wine, so worth trying out people who are on Linux distros

Yea, also dropbox linux version is actually a lot worse than using it on wine, it installs 3 different things to make it work with gnome or whatever, but normal wine version just works, although the icon in status bar up look lot worse

New cloud storage app

Great service and you get 15 GB just for signing up (5 gigs on sign up and 10 gigs from the promotion they are running).
And if you use the link below to sign up we BOTH get 5 more gigs!
It's called jotta cloud and I am liking it more than drop box. And having my files separated by device is nice (PC, Android, etc).
***removed link, please scroll down to see links others posted***

Some more info provided by another user:
If you sign up till the end of November you will receive 15 GB storage. 10 GB is a bonus for early adopters, the basic and free version of the service will offer 5 GB. But what is interesting the Jottacloud Android app backup and recovery functions and they work really very well.
Some first impressions:
- the online version of the service is in Norwegian by default and you have to switch it manually from Bokmal to English, German, etc.
- in order to receive the extra storage you you have to set up and do at least one synchronisation. After that the extra space should become available to you
- the recovery function works really well and I wonder if it can be used for syncing accross devices (like tablets and smartphones). I cannot test it because I have only one device. Is anyone who can figure it out?
- what is nice you can choose if syncing/Android backup should be done over WiFI/3G
- the upload is blazingly fast. The upload saturates my 40/4 Mb VDSL. I use different storages and Jottacloud is one of the best (like Russian Yandex or Swiss Wuala), far faster than Dropbox or Sugarsync
- there are no size limitations - I uploaded a DVD ISO file (4.3 gigabytes) and had absolutely no problems with it.
- as in other services there is a referral program and one can enlarge the storage space up to 100 GB (according to the service: Invite friends to Jottacloud.Your friend will receive an invitation to Jottacloud by e-mail. Your friend clicks on the link and sign up on Jottacloud. Both you and your friend gets 5 GB of bonus storage You can get up to 100 GB bonus storage).

Used the link and synchronize mms, got 20 gigs. Thanks for the info. The service on my android doesn't appear to let me choose the files or folders to sync. Autosync will only let you sync entire category you pick? 22 thousand pictures, no way. on the laptop I have Linux mint and it won't even let you upload a file to the web interface, I'm sure windows and other more popular OS will sync okay. Thanks again bro.

Dropbox Replacement?

I like that I get the storage with Dropbox with my S4, but I am a little concerned over their privacy policy. I've been eyeing SpiderOak, but I don't know if there is a way to get my S4 to auto-upload SpiderOak, or something similar. I'd even be ok with it encrypting things before they get to DropBox. Does anyone have any thoughts/suggestions here?
I use Drop box just for Pictures..take a pic bam goes right to it.I have also was wondering if there was something else out there but for now Drop box seems pretty good haven't had any issues...
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda premium
Personally I use google drive. But these clouds are good and bad. 10 years later dropbox may still be around but smaller sites may be down or gone. Privacy seems to be the big trend now so I try to let one company (google) store my info rather than having several companies have my info. Samsung probably has your info too. Eye tracking. Clever name. Just call it I'm Tracking you.
Jokes aside the best thing to do is to encrypt your data then put it into the cloud. Takes more time but if its valued pics and videos or docs then its worth it. Other sites you could check are box, copy, and skydrive but im sure they all have the same privacy policies.

You can try mega, I believe it has the option to auto upload like dropbox. Oh and you also get 50 gbs of storage for free just by making an account.

The app for Mega is third party. I was advised to uninstall it because of this.

I try not to upload anything to any cloud storage without encrypting it first if I would not want the contents on the evening news. Even if it is mundane, boring, everyday data I try to keep it in a secure container before sending it up. I know, email is not any more secure than cloud storage, but I don't email out my financial or more personal information either. I am just getting into the Android OS, but am looking at Cryptonite for a mobile solution. It appears that Cryptonite is compatible with Truecrypt, which would be wonderful. Would be even better if the Linux version of TC could be ported over. Or, maybe it can be. Perhaps someone with more knowledge in that area could offer some direction.
I use Ubuntu One.

I still mainly use and trust Dropbox. FYI, Norton also has cloud service called Norton Zone. They start off with only giving you 5GB, but if you install the free Norton Antivirus or Utilities app from play store they bump you up to 50MB even if you delete the free app.

Yes, to get 50GB of storage for nothing is great but generally speaking Dropbox is better in terms of smoothness, easyness of use....

[HOWTO] Get the Samsung Gift of free ebooks on a AOSP rom.

I just thought people might like to know that Samsungs newest promotion of getting a free ebook every month using "Kindle for Samsung" is possible on a AOSP rom. I successfully got it working on Omnirom (Kitkat)
All you have to do is get a hold of two apk's com.amazon.kindlefs and samsungservice
I got the first one by searching Google and someone posted a link to it in a comments section (I lost the link though so you will have to find it)
You should also be able to extract it from a stock based phone that got it the right way from "Samsung Apps"
Then for it to work right and let you get the free book you also need the "Samsung Account" app which is just samsungservice.apk. Easy to get from any rom or search xda I found the apk it self without having to download a full rom.
Installing both of those was enough and I got my first book free.
Hello,
thanks a lot.
I asked about this on Q&A.
Due to request. Here is where I found the kindlefs apk (in the comments)
