Hello,
so I setup my S4 with dropbox - now it's duplicating all my dropbox files?
Same here. Did you find a solution for that problem?

I am faced with the same issue currently. My solution was to remove the link between the Samsungs Cloud Backup and Dropbox.
Its under settings -> -> Accounts -> Cloud -> Link with Dropbox
(maybe different label names, as I am not on an English UI, but you should get the idea)
Its quiet for a day now and my fellow students don't get annoyed anymore :angel:

Hey guys, Is it possible to allow the phone to automatically link people in contacts to their facebook accounts ? Its a hassle to link dozens of accounts manually :S
Thanks.

There's ongoing discussions about this with people all reporting different results.
Personally, I have email address for most of my contacts and it links them effortlessly to the matching facebook accounts. It works every time I flash a new ROM, so I'm 100% sure that email addresses is the way to go. Besides, facebook uses email addresses for login so everyone on there has an email address on their account.
Hope this is of some use
Yeah true, but does that mean I have to link each contact with their email address ?? Thats the same thing dont you think ?

No - it does it automatically as long as they have matching email addresses.
Go to the people tab, all people, and then go along to the updates and events tab. There should be an option at the top "Link Profiles" and it should say "x match facebook friends" or something like that. Just click it and it does all 'x' of them.
Does that help?

Hmm I did that, and all I get is "ME", I just linked my account, but I see no option to link all my friends, could it be a privacy issue from facebook settings ?
All I did is go to ALL PEOPLE > EVENTS AND UPDATES > Click on Link facebook (but its mine only )

I can't explain it then. If I unlink a couple of my contacts and then go to that tab it offers to automatically link them again for me.
It could be down to the new privacy options that facebook recently added. I think if people accepted the new privacy options then this won't work, but if that was the case then I wouldn't expect you could do it manually either.
Doesn't make sense to me. Sorry mate .
Thanks for trying anyway, appreciated
You know whats weird ? when I open the facebook application and go to phone numbers, I see most of my friends' numbers and contact info :S
So confuzzling ..
Hmmm I found something even more weird ..
When I click on a contact, and go to link their account, "Suggested" accounts appear ... WHy doesnt it do that automatically to all of them ??
also, if your contacts have full names ie, "Joe Bloggs" instead of Joe, then it iwll come up with those suggestions at the top..

I will try editing one name and see if it works.

EDIT
That worked !! But now the name is displayed in [ Lastname, Firstname] Can I change that ?
Plus that means I have to edit all my contacts to have both first and last names ? Cant I just link them according to their first name only ? ahhh
I couldnt find another way to fix the issue.
All my friends MUST have a first and last name registered or else i have to link them manually.
Is there a tweak or a way I can force the recognition of facebook accounts by the first name only ?

You know, when I got my HD2 last week I got a lot of link suggestions together, with this new ROM I don't get any, with or without emails. Just single suggestions if you go into a contact. Strange!
So I'm trying to add a new google account to my phone under settings/accounts and sync. I enter all the details but after about a minute it tells me there is a error with the data connection.
I have tried this with three different galaxy s's on both wifi and 3g...no luck on any of them.
Are the google servers down or is it something else??
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

Ive had the same problem for the past 2 days : /
how about other accounts like Facebook & Tweeter? Is this the first time you're adding an account or there was a previous account that you deleted?
this was reported before
it's a bug, it only happens if you install the Samsung Push mail & IM add on
(...delete...)
there's a workaround by adding a youtube account which is linked to a google one, then it shows up in accounts and sync
here's the original topic

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.
Hi Guys,
Looked for an answer to this but couldn't find one in the forum.
I am trying to sync pictures in dropbox in a way that if i delete something from the phone gallery, it will also be deleted from dropbox. I have not found a way to do it so far.
There is an option in under "cloud" in settings to sync dropbox but it's greyed out so can't enable it. Not sure if this is normal or not.
So far i only got 1 way sync on dropbox (uploading from camera), but i need 2 way sync (deleting from gallery).
Maybe it's some particular service that i disabled? (i seem to have enabled everything containing the word "cloud" though).
Thanks in advance!
DropSync
Try DropSync in Google Play

Thanks Szczepanik , but is there a way to do it from the native samsung UI? or is it just not possible?
Thanks

I don't think there is a way to do it natively. FolderSync is also a good app. Allows you to sync more than pics, too!
I don't have S4...just S3.
There is another cloud solution called SugarSync (you can google for more details).
I use their option to add DCIM\Camera (or where you have your camera photos.) and use something they called AutoSync.
it seems to work pretty well.
They also have building Mobile Photo Backup and Mobile Video Backup, but these two feature doesn't seem to do two way sync ( ie you can delete in the phone gallery but it wont "delete" in the cloud).
hope this helps.

Hello!
Is it possible to remove the Google account after rooting? I'm giving the reader as a gift so I'd like to use my account to set up and provide them with it to log into afterwards.
Failing this (I may just be able to use their account if I really have to) - Is it possible to have *no* account associated with the NST? Or, at the very least, remove automatic sync/notifications - The owner most certainly will not want/need to be alerted to their emails on the reader!
Thank you!

Sorry not something I have tried. I thought BnN account email should be same as google account to play nice so I setup everything for my relatives using their account details (I know what they are as I setup both for them anyway).
I do have this link bookmarked in my Nook dir for future investigation which might interest you as similar topics.

Thanks for the reply- Anybody else know if it's possible to remove the Google account association once the device is set up? Thank you.
