Oh my god, thank you. Now I'm not stuck with DropBoxes 1GB junk.

Mediafire has a lot more space (i think unlimited) and has super fast download and upload speeds just use that

Yes, DevHost. Just letting people know, as there may be some users who are unaware of that site

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.

Why everyone so addicted to cloud storage sites?

Just a way of extending available storage on the Nexus 4. Since there is no Sd card slot, one can put files on cloud storage that can be used if needed.

HUH it has NOTHING to do about HIDING something.
Files in the cloud can be accessed anywhere, your home PC, your phone, your laptop, go to a friends house and you need a file, boom it's there, etc.

Physical backups can fail, having a copy of your files in the cloud is just another layer of smart backups.

It's quite obvious. The limited storage this device has will resort most people to use cloud storage. You can access it anywhere if you have internet connection. You can upload photos as a backup just in case if you lose your phone or your storage mysteriously deletes itself.
I upload my homework, pdf files and important documents.

I use cloud storage frequently for sending project data back/forth with clients, FTP's are a PITA, not so much as an extended storage means for my phone however.
It sees most of its use as a phone specific thing if I have to transfer a file to/from my phone and don't feel like going to the kitchen to get my phone attaching a USB cable and adb pulling/pushing files.

I use mine for backups and to send pictures to family as I don't have free mms I just upload n send them a link bingo

no ones hiding ,most of us use it to extend our limited amount of storage like most around here we back up oour back-ups ie. media so we dont have to keep it in our phones all the time. cloud storage is very helpful in my opinion. and we'll always have access to it almost anywhere anytime. with a internet connection of course.

Nothing to hide actually... I just find the fact that you can access your files from anywhere in the world with an internet connection wonderful..... Useful as hell especially when your job requires you to move from place to place....

I've not got it either. How do I check the progress?

From when I did it with my S3 I think I had to upload a photo and give my phone access to Dropbox by signing in through account sync.
Incidentally, I still have 6 months or so left of the original S3 50GB but it hasn't updated with any more/a new expiry date for the 50GB I'm due with the S4. It will be interesting to see what happens when the S3 space ends.

Anyone could upload Dropbox 50gb apk?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2

Its not the apk that gives you the 50g dropbox.
Please correct me of I'm wrong
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

Dropbox has requested to xda before that any modded dropbox apks that gives free space be removed from this site.
So no.
Also, they were flagging dropbox accounts with previous usage of the apk and removing the unfairly earned storage.

You need to add Dropbox account in Settings -> Accounts Tab -> Cloud. When you log in, it will automatically allocate you 50gb space. This is how I got 50gb space.

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....

There should be a list somewhere of all this pre-loaded bull**** so you can remove it without missing any.

Without root you can't install WA+.
Disabling WA ist maybe possible, but anyhow, you can't install WA+!
It's so unbelievable from Samsung.
I've written Samsung and complained about this. Also on Facebook. Public is always more effective. Maybe if more complaints come, possibly something happens
Facebook App ist also a System App and can't removed, or no old version can't be used.

Not sure what would actually be effective. People have complained about pre-installed apps on Android for, what, five years now? It's never done any good, and the hundreds of millions of additional Android users since back then clearly haven't made the complaints any more effective, either. The option of rooting is there, for people who want to completely have them removed from storage. Otherwise, disabling the apps gets rid of the icons and takes care of any performance hit. The actual size they take up is less than one half of 1% of device storage, so they're really not a big deal. It's just the psychological effect of knowing they're there. I've just learned to ignore it.
After coming from the Nexus 5 with its lack of expandable storage, I learned pretty quick that a couple megs for a stock app make a poor target for blame when I'm angry because I've got nowhere to put a 500+mb game I bought.
-Edit: On the other hand, when a preinstalled app makes it impossible to install another version of the same app from the store, it might go further to train yourself to treat that sort of thing like a bug. Report it to their technical support and act incredulous that they'd let such broken behavior into a production release. ;P
