Hi All,
Not very on topic, but want share it with you all. Get 15GB space from Copy. After login when you have installed the application you get 5GB extra. A very good cloud service, I love it... was a user of Dropbox many years, but this is better.

Free online storage list. Add to it if you can please.
I did a little research and found out that DropBox is not the only free online backup solution that can be used for your EVO. I have been trying them out and some seem really amazing and so I wanted to share.
I would put links to them all but you can easily find them by searching on google and I don't know how the MODS would feel about all the outside links.
Although Dropbox seems to have the most fans, I am trying SugarSync because of the instant 5GB storage. Sign up on the SugarSync.com website or click my link below to get a bonus 500MB
Here is the list I created. Feel free to add to it.
Dropbox 2GB
SugarSync 5GB <-----My favorite by far...
ZumboDrive 2GB
Memopal 3GB
Spideroak 2Gb
Syncplicity 5GB
Dmailer 2GB
IDriveSync 2GB
Box.net 5GB -->thanks @eelmonger
Microsoft SkyDrive + Sorami (app)- 25gb --> thanks @michaelvibe & jobryan26
Adrive 50GB ---> thanks @michaelvibe
Attention MODS... If I can get an official go ahead from you I will put links (not referrals) to these free resources. I will also do mini reviews on each because some are obviously better than others. The best ones out there such as Dropbox and Sugarsync (IMO) are "the best" because they offer an apps for your phone and computer (MAC or PC).
Dropbox has always been my favorite, they treat their users like kings, seriously. They offer free space all the time, usually for no reason.
Last time someone made a topic about Dropbox everyone started posting their referral links and everyone got a good chunk of space for free. Let's get that ball rolling, yeah?
Dropbox!
Not just about Dropbox
I appreciate your response. But I did not want this to be a list of where people posted their referral links to Dropbox. Thats cool and all... I have a referral link which has never been used and would love for people to use it but I was hoping more of creating a list of Dropbox like services.
Obviously people will post what they want, but maybe you could start another post about Dropbox specific and see if you can get it started? Cool?
I don't want to be a hypocrite because I did put my SugarSync referral link up there.
p.s- I would like to make a nice resource for everyone looking for free online storage. Does anyone know if the mods would mind if I put links (not my referral links), but just simple links to each free service so people to access easily?
I love Dropbox, but when I started filling that up, I found Box.net which gives you 5 free gigs, but has some limits on filesizes and such.
thanks @eelmonger
I added box.net to the list!
Keep them coming!
Microsoft SkyDrive - 25gb
Ridiculous amount of free space. Haven't used them in a long time though.

I dont think it would be a big deal. Just make it clear that they are outside links and not refferals.

Yep, been using these guys for 3 years now. No issues. They do not offer SSL encryption on the free accounts though or FTP access. Also, keep in mind that they have 2 free accounts: one which is 50 GB completely free and another one which has also 50GB but has a 14 day trial. Make sure you choose the right account on creation.
Once inside all file transfers are handled through a java interface.
I have been using Dropbox for about a month and it is amazing. Keeps all of my things in sync between my Laptop, Netbook, EVO, and iPod Touch. 2GB is more than enough for me and it is so simple to use.
Thanks for the list of other places, I might be curious to try other services though to see what else is out there.
Dropbox vs. Sugarsync

Here are 3 more cloud storage services:
MobileMe
Carbonite
Mozy
I use Dropbox btw. New to cloud storage services, and it was the first I came across via a referral on xda. I haven't tried others, but am happy with Dropbox.
This thread is spam. The only link in the op is a referral link to benefit the thread author.
@Biker1
@Biker1 - Thanks for the resources but I checked them out and as far as I could tell they were not free. Please correct me if I am wrong. Nice link to compare Dropbox with Sugarsync!
@indagroove - This thread is not spam. Your post is not helpful. I check this thread daily and will continue to add free resources as I find them or when people post them. I OBVIOUSLY put my link to Sugarsync. Plus I OBVIOUSLY mentioned I have Dropbox which I did not put a referral link to. I said Sugarsync was my favorite and I thought others would like it and using the referral link will give you an extra 500mg storage... and duh, I get a bonus too but thats not the point. I will gladly put links directly to these free resources if I get an okay from the mod. Not referral links, just plain links. BTW, why not have referral links to give extra storage to someone trying them out? It's a thought worth thinking through.
Notice the little yellow star under my profile? (you have some too so I think you understand). Want to know how many times I have donated to various developers? I am not here to cause problems dude so please chill out. I am here to learn and share. I realize I flipped out a bit here on my response. I dont like accusations. A question directed at me would have been a better way I think.

You posted your own referral link, and directed others not to. I think that's wrong, and hypocritical.
I'm all for referrals, so just be clear about what you are doing, and make it a referral thread.
I have a Hulu Plus referral link. Please use it to get 2 weeks free: https://hulu.com/r/E9qhSw
My own servers. 1300GB.
just signed up for Adrive! thanks for the tip. ...is there an android version floating around or do i just have to use a browser and sign in via web??
@adeyo- How do you like Adrive?
Thanks Adeyo. I don't know anything about Adrive. Tell us what you think about it when you get a chance.
Maybe you should...

In all honesty, I don't care if people post referral links. ALL I was saying to the OP was that I don't want the thread to be ONLY about referral links. I really want to make a nice list of free online storage for us.
I have seen those threads that are just about referrals. One hundred referral links to dropbox gets old and cluttered.
I have a thought. Maybe on a first come basis then as a "reward" for finding cool free online storage each user can post ONE referral link to the resource they found. That way anyone wanting to sign up for that service gets off to a nice start.
BTW- I just started this thread, I don't control it. Do what you want. But don't go claiming this thread is spam because its not.
What does this mean? It means that the referral bonus is going up from 250MB per referral to 500MB. That's it.
FAQ:
What if I already got referrals or maxed mine out?
You'll get a credit on any referrals you've already made within the next 48 hours.
What if I signed up with a .edu email and already had 500MB referrals?
You get no love. It only applies to free and Pro accounts. Free .edu accounts are excluded.

Hey everyone!
Today, we’re really happy to announce that we’ve doubled the amount of free space you get for inviting friends to Dropbox!
How much space is that, exactly? For every friend you invite that installs Dropbox, you’ll both get 500 MB of free space. If you’ve got a free account, you can invite up to 32 people for a whopping total of 16 GB of extra space. Pro accounts now earn 1 GB per referral, for a total of 32 GB of extra space. Have you already invited a bunch of people? Don’t worry. Within a few days, you’ll get full credit for every referral that’s already been completed. Boom!
Once upon a time, we noticed that Dropbox spread fastest via word of mouth. We’ve always believed that sharing is caring, so we rolled out this referral program to make recommending Dropbox an even sweeter deal. Back then, we gave out only 250 MB per invite. Then we doubled the space for students for inviting friends, and they liked it so much we decided to give it to everyone!
Start referring your friends now.
Here’s a quick guide to getting the word out:
Import your email contacts – After you import your contacts, you can select which friends, family and coworkers to invite. In case you miss someone, you can always type in their email address. This also makes it super easy to share folders with them later.
Post to Facebook and Twitter – This lets you invite all your friends in one go.
Share your unique referral link – Anyone who installs Dropbox with your link will count toward your referrals. Use the link in emails, blogs, or whatever you’d like. Get creative!
Once you’ve invited your friends, you can check in on your referral status here, and encourage them to download and start using Dropbox.
Thanks for spreading the Dropbox love!

Theres also another trick to get 4.5 Gigs of space. By turning on the auto upload feature on your Mobile app. For the first pic it gives 500mb then after every 500mb Auto Uploaded with your camera it gives 500mb up to 4.5 gigs! I just kept making 10 minute videos over and over
Hello guys (and girls), I found a sweat deal on the internet.
You can easily win gift cards for Amazon, Google Play Store, Hulu or Itunes.
How can you win a gift card?
MOD EDIT: removed link
What is the deal?
You then start downloading sponsored apps which give you points, which you can then transform to gift cards.
And even in the process you can find an useful app.
The strange thing is that you don't need much points for a $10 gift card, for example.
I'll be grateful if you follow my link, because it will give me some bonus points.
MOD EDIT: removed link
Should you have any questions feel free to ask!
Happy holidays to everybody!
Wrong forum? Also many people are giving this app very bad reviews

regardless of your intentions you arent allowed to post referral links.
Yes, referal links aren't allowed on XDA.
And since it's the wrong forum too:
Thread closed.
Hey guys, I don't know if you have heard about this particular cloud storage, but It's really good.
It has 15 gigabytes free, + 5 if you register with any referral code, giving you a whoppin 20gigs.
It also has this nice fair storage feature, it works this way: If three people are in a 12gig shared folder, you will only use 4 gigs of your own storage. It's like splitting the paycheck.
copy.com
Oh, and here's my referral code.

NOTE to moderators: if this thread is against the rules, please delete it. I'm sorry for if its against the rules.
binaryfalcon, in my opinion there are better options:
Google gives you just ~15 GB, but it's integrated with the other services and has a good sync API.
Mega gives you 50GB and promises to give a full sync API & more in the near future.
Cheers!
Great post!
Great post! I'm loving Copy service, as any new company it has some initial bugs but nothing alarming, I think it's totally worth to give it a try, let's spread the news
Here's my referral code for those who want to try it: h ttps ://c opy.com?r=W2WCP3

By the way, I love xda forum, I've been able to do a lot of tricks on my devices along the years and been learning a lot as well
Thank you. I'm going to try it.

lol, if you don't mind sticking to browser for access, Tencent gives you 10TB (yes, not 10GB, but 10"TB") for free. I haven't uploaded 10TB worth of stuff yet so I don't know how well it works, and I don't know how they'll treat the data you upload, but judging from their well known, good, reputation, I'm guessing they're pretty trustworthy.
Hello everyone! I wanted to share what I've found. First let me express my newly found hate for Dropbox. I have about 100gb space on Dropbox and I thought "How cool if I could just backup my pictures and documents to dropbox and have it reflected on EVERY computer I own!" So I did that. BIG mistake. Having 50,000+ files made it reindex frequently and bogged down my computer multiple times a day for 5 minutes or so (sometimes more). Huge pain.
I set out and tried out A TON of different services that offered very good pricing and similar functionality.
I found my #1!
The company is called Copy.com, from what I read they're supposedly very good.
Here's the awesome news. They START with 15gb free data. Here's my referral:
Moderator Edit Link Removed
It gets another 5gb for you (and me)... So 20gb free to start.
For EVERY person you get to sign up under your own referral, you get another 5gb. I think it's a great idea! They want to get their name out there. hehe. At the moment they say there is no limit to the number of people you can invite. I saw some guy has 600gb+ right now. Crazy, huh? They also say it's for life.
Now, I know you can sign up without my referral (you'd get less space) but if you do sign up, I'd appreciate it if you clicked that link to get me some extra space as well.
On to my personal opinion about the service:
I like the space, that's for sure.
It's also a fairly stable app. I haven't had any crashes or anything like that.
The company offers 30 versions of your document / file. I think this is a MUST. I don't know how many times I feel like something has gone wrong and I wanted to go back to another version.
Speed? Well... I have a 105mb down and 11.5mb upload speed. My upload speed uses about half, while my download isn't an issue at all. I wrote them to see why I'm uploading so slowly. But uploading at 500kb/sec isn't that bad.
The mobile app is actually really good! It's really easy to use
Here's a big one: FAIR STORAGE! Finally! Something Dropbox doesn't understand :-\... If I share a folder that has 10GB and I share it with another person, just one other person, it wouldn't take 10 of my GB and 10 of the other person's. It would take 5 from me and 5 from the other person! If it's between 3..., well... 10/3= 3.33GB each! THANKS! Finally! Dropbox would take your 10 plus another persons 10. So 10GB of files would be 20gb with 1 other person. Shared with 10 people, it would be 100gb!!! Not 10! Arg.
I think it makes a great companion for my Note 2 because all my pictures are synced up there and they load REALLY fast! (not like my Skydrive account, REALLY slow at loading, and lack of versioning for anything other than documents). You can also share files publicly very easily as well.
So give it a try! I think it's worth it. I've already moved the majority of my files off of Dropbox and my CPU is thanking me from all the reindexing.
This is why referral threads are prohibited.
