Might be pretty usefull for dev's mirroring ROM's.

The dropbox limits are pretty annoying.

Thanks, cant ever have enough free space to put things

Agreed. I'm waiting for proper SkyDrive app and I'm ditching Dropbox for good.

Anyone found how to create a folders? I'm either stupid or blind but cannot find a way to do it.

try dragging in a folder from the desktop
its strange - when i did it with an empty folder i got a folder and an empty file in the folder - deleted the file..
that's the only way i found to do it so far.
also when the top link is full (50GB i think is max?) feel free to use mine to give you and me an extra gb storage
edit: my account is maxed out

minus faster or Dropbox?

i havent got 50GB - but you can get that much free I think from referrals - Android Police said they maxed theirs out a few days ago on Google+ and I am sure I read at 50GB.
you start with 10, 11 if you sign up from a referral.

Free 25gb here (skydrive)
http://www.appbrain.com/app/sorami-skydrive-beta/shoozhoo.sorami
easier mount as network drive on PC
http://www.gladinet.com/p/intro_microsoft_skydrive.aspx (trail works fine also suports other cloud storage)
Linux
http://skydrivesync.codeplex.com/
also when i registered my phone with dropbox they upgraded it to 5gb (for 12 months) just install the app on your phone after installing on PC
hope this helps...

Without (proper) Android app is SkyDrive useless. Microsoft is suppose to release official one, but I have no idea when.

maybe but it works well enough for me along with dropbox ofc

probably in time for Win8.
they are hyping it up for that I think

It should be out with WLE 5, but again, not sure when or if it will be in beta. Only time will tell.

looks like if you upload a file too, you click on it to open it there's a 'rename folder' option at the top left - so you upload a file it creates a folder automagically which you can then rename - and add more files to that folder

my account is maxed out
50GB storage space

Is it possible to move files between different folders?
Edit:
If someone want he's ref link in first post PM me, as my storage is full aswell (50gb)

So Is started using Minus and I must say the comfort of using it is nowhere near DropBox.

Seriously though, just use explorer, copy the stuff you know you want off it and delete the rest in non-system directories.. That's what I do.. Then again, you could always get a big whopping 64gb sdcard and use it instead..
Look in your download folder. Old roms were my problem.

I have 24.4 GB Dropbox space permanent from referral, Dropquest, Image upload and being first mover on beta versions ... actually I only need ONE MORE REFERRAL before I hit the roof When I use it at most I use about 45-50% ... so NO at the moment I don't need 50GB
BTW I have 50GB Box and 25GB Google Drive and 25GB Minus and 25GB Skydrive that I don't even use.
Dropbox in - my opinion - is still the best, but that easily could change ...
I hope that some smart app one day will make it possible to join it all seamlessly into one big pot :good:

Not to show up!
My point is that everyone can get free space without cheating !!!!
By example: "Get 10 GB of free disk space and up to 50 GB for free http://minus.com".
For every friend that joins Minus, we'll give you both 1 GB of extra space.
If people want to hack there way to more space fine for me ...
And big thanks "grassysparkie" ... you just helped med getting my last 500MB Dropbox space. If you need a helping hand PM me :good:
Worked like a charm... great work... now wondering what i am suppose to do with so much space..:good:

How to delete Need for Speed?

To the Community :
Anyone know where the 1.8 gb or so of NFS is stored? Definitely itching to free up that space.
Also, should I transfer it to my pc so when it's time for the next Android update I can reinstall it, or is that something that's included when I flash the stock rom?
Thanksies in advance..

I don't think you actually downloaded the whole game then. You have a demo by the way since the file ends with "embed." Did you ever play the game? If not, I dont think you downloaded the real big game files yet. Either way, download Solid Explorer and search for nfs. delete all the results.
ps - please read the results to be sure they're nfs related though lol who know if some system files contain the letters nfs.
Hes in the wrong folder it should say android/data/com.ea.nfs <<<<< something like that

its not ransom or blackmail....its a serious issue he has some family photos which he use to keep safe because his mobile was used by many peoples.
It probably just hides them somewhere in the internal memory, download es file explorer, enable show hidden files/folders in the settings, then look through the folders beginning with a "."
I'll download and try keep safe (if it's free) soon to test this myself.
Edit: confirmed, they're in ".keepsafe" the and they have ".hid2" added as a file extension. Just move them out of there and delete the ".hid2" from the name and it should be fine.

[Q] 375mb of screensavers

Hi first post here so a quick hello
Just realised that my fire TV screensavers are taking up a whopping 375mb, I wouldn't usually care but with the ftv only having a crappy amount of free available storage it kinda sucks. My question is it possible to stop the afv downloading them all again after you delete them.
You could try to create an own gallery with only one picture and use this gallery for screensaver.
Thanks for the reply How do you create a gallery?

I'd be interested in this too. Actually kinda surprised I haven't heard anyone bring it up before and I didn't know they used that much space.
You must upload your gallery (or your single photo) to your Amazon cloud drive. Then you can choose this folder as slideshow/screensaver instead of the Amazon slideshow/screensaver.

Well that sucks as cloud drive you get no free storage anymore, what a load of bs.
