Hi,
I just started using cloud storage to backup my videos and pictures online, using box and google+.
But before i delete everything from my phone to get extra space, i want to make sure everything was actualybuploaded.
Is there anyway to compare files between the box and my device?
Same with google+ and my device...
Thanks!

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.
Is there an iOS like "PhotoStream" manner of getting pictures onto N7?
Picasa?
I know one can plug into USB, just look for a more streamlined method.
Thanks for any input!
It's called Google+
Sign in the G+ go to settings and it's called "Instant Upload"
any picture you take, it'll auto upload to G+ (in essence it's Picasa also)
BTW, Google had Instant Upload before the "PhotoStream"

And FYI, any photo/video that is automatically Instantly Uploaded are marked as Private, so on you can see them, then you can choose to Share them to your Circles.
You can use drive, box, photobucket and dropbox as cloud storage to sync files between devices.
Currently using drop box but I've found I can't choose to sync individual folders such as camera uploads from my phone...that way I don't have all my drop box files filling up my N7. Anyone have a suggestion?
Guys I was wondering if with the Nexus 4 it is possible to have my personal pictures on the cloud (through Picasa or something like this). I have 7 Gigs that i occasionally browse on my mobile so, to save some space, it would be nice to have them on the cloud.
Most important part is to browse them with the default gallery application. I know it would be possible to use the cloud provider's app but I prefer using default gallery.
Hope there is a way. Ty all for you support.

I have read about that option. But using that all my pictures will be watchable on my google+ profile right?
BTW it should put picture taken with my N4 in google+ account.
I'm looking on a way to have available(on the cloud) the pictures that i have on my PC without using my N4 gigs.
i have a dropbox account and i sync it with my galaxy s4.. however I have 2 problems:
1) photos in dropbox (old photos from the computer) appear in the gallery as well and i dont want those photos to be shown there
2) dropbox also downloads everything that in the folder to my phone.. (there are a lot of computer's backup stored in dropbox) and i dont want dropbox will download stuff to my phone.. all i want is upload my photos to dropbox and thats it! i dont want downloading anything

someone????
maybe try making a new dropbox account just for your phone/photos?
Same problem for me!
in my new Galaxy S4, with dropbox pre-installed, the app downloads everything that es in the folders to my phone!!! And no file marked as favorites.
Of course I don't want dropbox to download all files to my phone. All i want, when enabled and at this moments it's disabled, is upload my photos to dropbox and, that's all!
How can I disable this function!!!
yess please help uss!!!!
Settings, accounts and cloud, you can stop that. I hope.

its simple.. i dont want to cancel my sync with cloud.. i want:
-> photos stored on my SGS4+ other items on phone will be automatically uploaded
-> NOTHING on dropbox will be downloaded to my phone
Which is the best option if you want to use it for sharing and backing up photos? When I'm out and about taking pictures and I want to share with someone, the pics are either to big for texting or there is to many to send. So I usually upload to dropbox and send a link to either just view or to download. The problem is I only have 2G with dropbox and would like to use something else to backup almost ALL my pics(about 12G of them). Is it better to upload them to G+ or Google drive? I know that pics in google drive can be seen in G+, but you don't see the pics in G+ on your Google drive directories. Also, I plan on using the app to view the pics on my phone like the native gallery. Any advice or better options?
Thanks in advance!
I use the google photos app on my phone and have it set to auto backup. So when I take a picture(s) it backs up the most recent ones when I am on wifi.I think the google photos are sync'd with your google drive but I'm not 100% sure and can't look on my computer at work. I also increased my google drive size to 1TB for $9.99/month, they also have 100GB for $1.99/month. Not sure if this helps or makes it more complicated as I am limited to what I can see on google at work.
