I saw this on lifehacker earlier. I thought maybe there were a few dropbox users here that could use more space.
1. Download the new client from http://forums.dropbox.com/topic.php?id=52900 and install on PC
2. Put a lot of pictures on your phone
3. Hook phone up to PC
4. Get 500MB extra with the first upload plus 500MB more for every 500MB uploaded up to 4.5GB free
Similarly OT, have they discovered the wonderful world of cryptography yet? Was a PITA having to crypt everything presync (yay Tasker). I'm back to sloppy homemade FTP server until then.

I don't think that there is an upload dialog on the desktop client... Just drop stuff into the Dropbox folder and it syncs automagically.
exactly i cant upload from my pc i cant find the "upload option
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
Is it not putting a small blue icon on the lower left side of the file icon? That's the upload in progress icon. A green one is uploaded.
There isn't an option that I have seen to manually up load. It just syncs the folder you set when you installed it.

I put photos/videos on my phone and then detached and reattached USB. Then, autoplay prompted me to use dropbox to open the drive. It copied them to a folder called camera uploads on my pc's dropbox folder and synced them.

Ahh! There's my problem. I refuse to allow autoplay to work on any of the Windows boxen in my house.
Here is the for sure way to get the 500mb. First either download the apk from here. Or get it straight to your phone from this QR code. Both of these links can be found at the Dropbox forum page here.
Once you have the app installed either fresh or over a previous install. Open it. It should take you through the setup as if it was a new install rather than an update. Once the setup was over the app went to a new screen and showed my photos and videos being found and then it began to upload them.
I did have an issue when running it for the first time. I went into my settings while it was uploading. When I went back to Dropbox. The app did a funky crash, force close. Then it got interesting. The app opened and wanted to start all over, then closed, then opened and began a loop of that that would not close or allow me to get to settings or anything that would help. I had no issue when pressing the fingerprint button and then choosing to shut down. After it restarted I went to Dropbox and started it. I had to log in, but other than that it is running just fine. No more weird loops, fc's or strangeness of any sort so far. And I did get my 500mb right away. I did delete the photos that I tried uploading from my pc earlier and it didn't act like I cheated or anything.
Hope that this helps.
all i did was make some throwaway 720p videos with the stock camera app. after u stop the video dropbox will start uploading. extra 4.5 gb with minimal effort...
My upload speed is 512kbps i think i cant get more then extra 500mb

hey guys,
I tried to share some videos made by myselft on my N1, but, i realized that it's only possilble using a wifi network ! So, do someone knows if i can do something to share over 3G network ? I mean any software that trick my phone and make it believe that is on wifi!
Thanks anyway !
Interestingly enough I found that I can upload any size video to youtube via 3g by using the seesmic twitter app. Run the application, and go into setup to change video sharing to youtube from yfrog. Then enter your credentials. From then on, when you record a video, click share and then seesmic. It will automatically start the seesmic app with a tweet started "http://www.youtube.com/********". Let automatic the upload continue in the background and once you check back and it is a solid link you know it's complete. You do not have to tweet the link as it's already active, simply copy the link to whatever means you which to distribute.
weird I have had no problems uploading via 3G Did a test one a week ago here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LpuZexiJPY
hey, this really do the trick! thanks! But there is no way to share direct from youTube appl? (Only have a problem with big files, i believe 2mb+)

Ok this is going to sound really stupid but hear me out I'm POSITIVE I didn't delete the videos off my phone.
So yesterday I was out with some friends just chilling and I took some pretty funny videos of some of my friends. To share them with my friends I decided I was gonna upload them to youtube, but I couldnt do it directly from my phone for some reason. So I decided to email both video files via gmail to myself then upload them later on the computer. I check a couple hours later and the message is still sending, because of the amount of memory both videos were I assume, so I decided to give up and just find them on the sd card then move them to my pc. So I delete the message that was sending with the attached files since I wasnt going to go about it that way anymore, but then I go back and look through my phone and notice I cant find the videos. By attaching them to my gmail did I move them off the SD card?
I don't know about your main problem but in order to send pics/videos your carriers mobile data must be on, it will not work if only WiFi is enabled.

Sorry I knew it was too confusing. The uploading wasn't the main problem, my main question is if by me attaching those video files to my email then deleting them while they were still in the sending process, did I basically just delete those files off my sd card too??
It shouldn't have deleted the videos, not sure how that could have happened.

You can "undelete" from SDCARD with 3rd party applications, I have done long time ago. But I am not sure you can do it since android writes/modifies sdcard too much.

I reporting back on something I stumbled on yesterdays after updating to the latest CM7 2.3.3 build. After updating I have been removing the sock music app then replacing it with the Honeycomb version. Upon that I was prompted with several permissions request and accepted them all. Syncing then started and I checked that under that under Account and Sync notice Music was syncing. This synced overnight. I put in a empty SDcard in. Then I went in to the Jumper Test that comes along with the Music app started the peer under the Controls tab, Ran a test under the Logs tab ( showed 785 files and the files names below) went back to the music app then went to music settings and checked Stream Music and my music started to show up! Played a few songs no problems at all. Let me know if this is working for anyone else.
*EDIT*
So I guess this inst working anymore. I did test this when I originally posted this but i cant get it to work anymore. Sorry guys not yet
is there a way to access those files from a computer too? i mean since its synced in the cloud, could be really useful.

If your objective is to have your music available everywhere, try AudioGalaxy. it streams to computers, android and iDevices.
How did you replace the app? I tried to but the honeycomb music just keeps FC'ing
As far a a URL to go to on a computer I haven't found anything. Ill post the apk i used when I get by a computer sometime later. Basically I just used root explore to delete the stock music app then installed the honeycomb player.

Gotcha. Did that, syncing now...
So, I have a question..
If you already have these songs on your phone, why would you want them "put them in the cloud", so you can play them on your phone, where they are already???????

So you don't have to keep gigs of music on your ad card. This is great news!
If they're in a cloud they dont need to be on his phone. In return he saves space on his memory card. However, if they're not on your phone they're not going to play when you dont have a connection.
I wonder if running a logcat during sync would reveal where this cloud is?
ah, that makes sense..
although, I have a 32 gig card, so i dont care that I have 10 gigs of music on my card..
Plus, thats a good point about not being able to play your music if your connection goes south...
Wait does this download the songs back into the SD card or does it stream your synced music from the cloud?

Is it force closing when you opened after install or after you tried to sync your music? If its force closing after install download it again. It works for me.

BTW, BOA had a 10-12 our long web access meltdown the other day. Customers couldn't log in from phones OR computers for quite some hours, no explanation from BOA but I did see one mention of a DOS attack on the BOA system, so the problem might not be in your phones, or the app, at all.

Fix for the BoA issue
I found the following post on another forum and thought I'd share it.
http://androidforums.com/atrix-4g-s...ca-app-not-working-after-update-4-1-83-a.html
Mainly, this post by rmarc71 :
-----
I was able to fix the app by doing the following (seems the trust store got screwed up with the new release):
Grab all the certs from the bank of america cert chain (I used openssl, you could probably use something else):
openssl s_client -connect www.bankofamerica.com:443 -showcerts
Grab each of the trust certs (3 total) and put them in files ending in .crt
IE: cert1.crt, cert2.crt, cert3.crt (you could also create a pkcs12 out of 'em if you are inclined to do so).
This is likely the problem with other apps noted in this thread.
Place the files into internal storage download directory. Then go to Settings -> Location & Security -> Creential storage -> Install from internal phone storage.
Use: Certificate Manager and you should see your 3 available certs. Add them and then reboot the phone.
----
After the above procedure, I was able to log in using the BofA app.
Maybe same would work with other banking apps as well.

Did you read the rest of that thread?
It didn't work for anybody else as far as I saw when I read through a different thread with the same content yesterday, and someone had a post about the certs and why this didn't work.
Also, this was right below what you copied and pasted from there:
"this didnt work for me for some reason, but when i did a brute force approach of getting all verisign certs, I was all set.
I just tried this on my phone and got both Bank of America and American Express apps to work again.
I ended up exporting all Verisign and GT certificates in .crt format using my Firefox browser, copying them to my Dropbox account (emailing them should be fine too) and installing them one by one on the phone. You need to reboot your phone after installing the certificates...
You can also figure out which certificates you need by clicking on the padlock or company name in the browser's URL bar "
Can anyone suggest an app that will allow me to copy my SD data from my old phone onto the Essential over the air? I thought Google's File Go would work, but it seems to restrict which files I can transfer directly, phone to phone. i need access to files beyond the 6 categories File Go offers. I'd like to stay away from any kind of wiring or PC use. Thanks.
Dropbox seems to be a solution. I still would appreciate additional input. Thanks.

You can take an ADB backup... Which should copy everything on device to computer...

You might want to check into an app called superbeam. It uses wifi to transfer as well and you can use it afterward to transfer files from your PC to your phone and from your phone to PC.
