Promises 2GB file sizes, 10GB storage with no download limits...
http://min.us/rdiBKVs
edit: my account has Max 50GB storage so if anyone wants me to put a different referral link in let me know...
Link above should give me and whoever signs up an extra 1GB of space too
I'm not sure how good it is on par with DropBox, Box.net, SkyDrive etc. but 2GB file sizes seemed good to me - my Box.net account didn't want me to have more than 100MB files which was annoying.
Almost forgot there's an android app for it too https://market.android.com/details?id=com.minus.android&feature=search_result
Since we are going to be limited on the amount of internal space I'm curious... what type of cloud storage do you use and why?
Personally I have a box.com account because I was able to get it when it they were offering 50g free for signing up. But I know 50g won't last forever so...
What do you recommend?
Dropbox mostly. I like how well it integrates into Windows and how easy it is to share files. And so far the 7GB I have has been enough.
Might try using Google Drive a bit more.
Stared to use Google drive lately and does the trick

I think my 30GB dropbox will do me nicely. Also had a box acc. with 50GB, but didnt like their 100mb upload limit.
Between Dropbox and Drive I've got 10 GB of cloud storage, free. You can up Drive storage to 25 GB for $2.49 a month.
I've got 25GB on Skydrive, 3.6GB on Dropbox and not even touched Google Drive barely. I just spread things around between them, good to have the choice.
Main one is dropbox just so easy to use though the others pretty much do things the same way now. Tend to also use it to transfer small files to my phone/tab.
Google drive I mainly use for syncing backups from Titanium backup, don't like the way you can't just download a file somewhere sensible on android without hunting through folders for where it put it.
Sugar sync mainly on PC it syncs a few specific folders for backup, photos standalone apps I never forget where I got them from etc.
Box have an account not really used it for anything.
Sky drive not really used yet
Asus sync, have the old unlimited storage plan £20ish a year thats no longer available to new customers. It has backup of most of my PC, has a stupidly slow upload speed been backing up my computer for over a year.
No need to restrict yourself to one.

Do they still limit uploads to 100 megs?

I thought I was supposed to have 25 gigs also. I sighned up b4 they announced they were lowering the limit to 7 gigs. But this morning I got a notice that I'm nearing my 7 gig limit!
I use them all, and none of them work worth a **** for streaming videos.

I downloaded a trial of Just Cloud. A pop up came when the trial was over. I followed the link to an offer for 50% off. I decided against continuing when they offered 70% off and I jumped 250 GB of storage for $27 a year. The only down side if the app won't work for my Nexus, just my phone.
I have Box, SugarSync, Drive and Drop box. I need to pare this down a bit I think
I use MegaCloud. A free account gives you 8GB for files, and 8GB for backup. It's easy to earn more free GB's too, and they have a free app in the Play Store to easily transfer your stuff back and forth to the N7. If you need more storage, they also have paid accounts.

I suggest anyone to get the Pogoplug from walmart for $50 its an in house cloud device just hook up external HDD whatever size and it even has a slot for SD cards on the side. Then you can read anything off it from all devices you want to reach it. Its basically a cloud storage that's in house on your hard drive or SD card. check it out here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzxKko1bzJw

That's a good option for anyone without NAS

I got Box, SkyDrive, Dropbox, and Drive.
and i access all of them conveniently with ES File Explorer. full copy paste download options, except, of course, Box got 100mb filesize limit. silly Box.
i use GDrive as pictures as they have unlimited pic and video storage and my RAZR does all the shooting. everything with camera i upload using desktop Picasa. unlimited. storage.
sure it has some 5Gb of misc storage too or something.
DropBox is nice for quick document multi-location work as it syncs best between desktop and phone. but 3.75Gb only (click the link on my sig! ) also use Public folder for sharing public pics for forums n whatnot... and pretty much sharing public stuff.
SkyDrive i got 25Gb and that's where i store most of my office docs and misc files.
Box i got 50Gb but with the filesize limit i use it only for Titanium Backup and a couple Android stuff (fastboot and ROM and stuff). i use GSplitter to split/unify the files.

Dropbox + ES File Explorer + MX Player. Streamed xvid avi just fine for me. need to try SkyDrive i suppose...
edit: just tried Skydrive. it doesn't support AVI. but Box.net works just fine. And Drive too. maybe ill put my movies in Drive.... hmmm....
edit: spoke too soon. Box uploaded and stream just fine. But Drive won't stream. it uploads and it looks like its playing, but i only got black screen. oh well, i can always go to G+ app and open my videos there.
I have some TiVo shows that I want to watch. Currently, I am guessing I need to put them in the DropBox until the OTG Cable comes in (going into the hospital for a few days this week and I don't know if I am going to need to go to a rehab facility before coming home.
Is DropBox the best and / or Browser for SkyDrive also?
My Nexus 7 is not rooted
Thank you!
Sign up for the free Google Drive and put it on your computer and N7. Free 5Gb storage and native app for your N7. Dropbox would work, too. Put your shows in the Google Drive folder on the computer and sync or access them from the N7.
most cloud storage has individual file size limits...i can't remember what they all are, but i do remember that Sugar Sync has NO file size limits
...edit...this page shows file size limits
http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2012/04/cloud-storage-a-pricing-and-feature-guide-for-consumers/
Is there a size limit per file that I can back up to MiMedia?
"If you have a Java compatible browser, you can upload files as large as 3 GB in size.
If you are using a Flash compatible browser, you can upload files up to 1 GB in size."
Goodbye DropBox? Hello Copy.com
Hey guys, this had a good reception on my new device's forum, I thought I'd skip back over here and share. I know a lot of us use DB to share files here and there, and this service is a lot less prohibitive. FWIW. I listed some of the features below.
Epic FTW!
Unlimited file size
15GB free to start
Additional 2GB For sending a tweet
Public/Private file sharing
Check out some of the additional features:
Multiple device compatibility –
Copy works across Windows, Mac OSX, and Linux computers and offers mobile device support for Apple iOS (iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad) and Android, with Windows Mobile coming soon.
Easy file sharing without limits –
Copy allows users to upload and share files of any size, including 1080p videos and raw photographs without size limitations often found in email attachments. These shared files and folders can be sent to anyone either publicly or privately and accessed from any location or device.
More security –
Copy provides a secure alternative to some other cloud storage services. Included data verification inspects data before Copy accepts it into the user’s cloud storage. File-level ownership is verified prior to transferring anything to other devices. Copy also allows users to share files privately using Copy's built-in identify verification.
Copy lets you undelete any file right from the desktop app. And on the web, you can even see different file versions side-by-side. Try that with Dropbox.
Copy believes that you should be able to organize your files however you want. That's why Copy lets you sync any folder no matter where it is on your computer. Even external drives. You can't do that with Google Drive or Dropbox.
Ability to stream video (And audio too I think).
Thanks!
Just an update, I was doing some testing and was able to pull download speeds of around 2Mb/s from copy.com's servers. Pretty smooth

Just a reminder to not post referral links. There is a thread just for referrals in the Off-topic section of XDA.

Sorry about that, I'll remove the link from the OP. Nm, looks like you got it . Thanks Kenny

Just wondering how y'all best utilize cloud storage on your device? This will be my first phone without expandable memory so, if possible, I'd like to set things up so the phone places pictures and other media automatically in the cloud rather than on my device... if that's even possible.
Anyway, just curious how yall have things set up to best utilize the cloud.
FWIW, I have a 50gig box account... so plenty of storage room (in addition to the 64 on the phone). Just need to figure out how to best utilize it!
I have used Dropbox and Copy for backup, but they both seemed to have bugs that prevented syncing from time to time; not to mention they are only free for the first few gigs. Now I use Google Photos for photo/video and it's amazing. MUCH better than either Dropbox or Copy if not only for the stability, but also the insane search features.
For other files I will probably end up using OTG or Pushbullet (small)/Google Drive (large) just to bounce files around between devices.
