Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, but I was wondering if anyone else is having dropbox issues with their Nexus? Everytime I try and upload a file, Dropbox poops the bed. Not a huge deal, but it's the most convenient way for me to send NZB files to my server.
For totally legitimate reasons, of course.

Same thing happened to me. Just uninstall and reinstall dropbox. If you have to, sideload it. For whatever reason, it wasn't showing up in play for me.

Would someone please suggest a solution to backing up pictures and or whatever files I'd like to store from my phone. I'd like to be able to sync directly frm my phone to the cloud. I know Hotmail offers the SkyDrive but I don't see anyway to sync directly to it from my phone. Gmail would be the ideal location but I'm open to suggestions. Thanks.

Try dropbox.

Great, thanks.
I just found "MyBackup Root" (from the market) last night, and seems to be pretty nice.
It can backup / restore a ton of things including images, mms, call logs, home screen shortcuts, etc.
I haven't tested restoring yet, but a lot of reviews say it's pretty good.
The paid version ($4.99) has online backup support, but it seems it's limited to only 50MB (lame).
People are requesting Dropbox support (would be nice to see that incorporated).

Thanks again!
For pictures, go with photobucket for it's automatic upload. It is essentially a set it and forget it types of operation.

Tht's what I'm looking for. When I had a Windows phone I used MyPhone. You could tell it what to sync and it would roll automatically. Unfortunetly they only offered 200MB of storage.
you've also got native, built-in picasaweb syncing you can use, if you haven't tried that out.
But ya, I use dropbox 99% of the time. Or a wifi FTP app (fireftp?) if it's a lot of stuff.
when I select multiple pic and click share through picasa it always say fail to retrive account information. Never have this issue with any phone before. This is my first blur phone. Please help if any one experience the same issue.
having same issue here.
can you see existing albums on your picasa account to transfer to? i can't on mine. i have google hosted apps btw...

Nope, cant see existing album. It can't only be just 3 of us that have this issue. Is something wrong with our phone?
I have the same problem as the original poster.
Hello,
I searched and still could not find the answer. The problem or issue is this...I paid for the Beautiful Widget app and want to 1. Backup the app to my pc incase I need to reinstall and 2.Want to add it to my other work phone.
I know about apps that backup your apps but that is not what I want. I want to be able to save the actual "app" onto my pc and then take that app file and install on my other work phone.
Please any ideas on how to do this, would be great. I connected my phone to pc with usb cable and didnt know where to look to find the app file.
Thanks in advance,
if you need to re-install, you are able to redownload and reinstall from market without being charged again (it tells you that when you download app and when you delete paid apps from phone). if you want to put it on your other phone all you need to do is sign into other phone with your google account. any other advice constitutes a violation of the anti-warez rules of the board and piracy (if you are trying to get a paid app on a device that is using a google account other than the one the app was purchased with).
thanks for taking the time out to help. I truly do own this app and was only trying to figure this out. My work phone has a different gmail acct cause its for work. what about saving the actual apk file onto my pc...where can I find it?
Thanks again,

I would send level up (the owner of the app an email. I am sure they can answer the question, if not provide the app.

I had read or hear somewhere that there is an issue with attachments in gmail on the note 10.1 Is this confirmed by users who have one and use gmail or just a bad reviewer. Still trying to decide on Infinity or 10.1 and this is very important to me.
Thanks in advance.
I assume you mean using the stock e-mail client. I don't imagine the GMail app would behave any differently on the Note than it does anywhere else.

Just install a file manager app like Astro and you will be able to attach any file in the GMail app.

I don't have this problem.
No probs with attachments here, neither Samsung client nor original Gmail.
The Samsung client only sometimes won't download integrated pictures in emails like company logos.
No issues for me either. Just bad reviewers.
No he didn't mean the stock email client he meant gmail. Within gmail you only get these options (gallery or dropbox) stock for attachments but you can also send stuff initiating outside gmail using the share options in what ever app your in.
Also as gdirks says installing a file manager will let you choose whatever.

I have to admit that's pretty stupid. In my pics that's GMail being used via ActiveSync and you can see the stock e-mail client has Samsung's My Files app as the number one option. It also gives the option of sending content created in the S-tools. There's no reason (that I can think of) that the GMail app shouldn't behave the same way. At least to your point the problem can be solved by installing a third party file manager.

yes that is correct, installing a file manager like x-plore or solid explorer will work just fine.
Thanks all for your response. I will check things out a bit more.

Yup, agreed it shouldn't but it's samsung's terrible software design at work here. Maybe it was an honest oversight and they will fix it. I say we pressure them to do so. I'm sure someone will figure out how to fix it soon enough on xda but the whole point is that we shouldn't have to fix things like that, it should work just like stock aosp android.
I really don't want to setup gmail as active sync.
A friend also had the same issue. On my Galaxy Note 10.1 I had a slection for "attach video". Fixed the problem with this app: [I'm not allowed to post links- sorry]. Go to Play Store and search on "Attachments [Gmail Attach]"
I have no relationship with this developer. Cheers, David
I have rooted nstg with 1337 rom. For very long time i've been using dropbox & dropsync to sync nstg with my hdd bookshelf. But my old version of dropsync is not working anymore and newer is not compatible with android 2.1.
Is there any other usable aplication to sync dropbox. Or maybe there is better system to sync computer with nook over internet?
Yes, i know this is ancient system and hardware. But apart from this feature it is still usable.

So, I only know about Dropbox. Is that not working for your NSTG any more? Google Books is another option if all the books are EPUBs.
Mmm.....I just fired up Dropbox on my NST and uploaded a file which I can see on my PC.

Can You tell me your exact version of the app? Is it orginal dropbox app or third party like dropsync?

It's an "original" Dropbox app, v 1.2.4. You can download the apk file (and others) by following the link in my signature below.

I checked. You are right. Orginal dropbox 1.2.4 works. But it can only download/upload files. I can't sync local folder and dropbox. I would like to have exact copy because i mostly read offline

Thanks for the heads-up on the file problem at Mediafire. Hmm...I wonder how to get around that?
There is still Google Books. Once the book is available on your device for off-line reading, you don't need to reconnect and sync unless you want to read it from some other device and pick up where you left off.
Edit: OK, I think I've fixed the zip file download. At least it just worked for me from a newly edited link. Thanks again for the info.

You're right, it's gone. I removed it recently since I never used it. Let me see if I can scare up a copy.
Edit: Here you go. Version 2.3.8. I just tried it and was able to log into my account.

When I try to log in, I get a message saying the app is out of date and I need to update it. Is there a way to get around that?
Edit: It won't let me log in because of the message, it's not just a superficial issue.

That's pretty bizarre. I really did install it last night before posting and was able to sign in without difficulty. I even saw a document I left there some time ago.
I wonder...have you updated your cacerts.bks file? Maybe the security certificate needed to sign in to the Dropbox server has expired in the old cacerts.bks file. That's not so far-fetched as a cause since similar behavior was seen with the Kindle app when that certificate expired.
Omg thank you so much for posting this apk - it worked to get my NST back into Dropbox with the workflow I’m used to. I thought the ability to use a working Dropbox sync was dead long ago
FWIW - I accidentally clicked login without my password filled, it asked for a 2-factor password pin sent to my email. I entered it and my Dropbox password and it’s all good now

You're welcome. No one is more surprised than I am since I long ago got the message from Dropbox that the old app would no longer be supported!
