[REQ] Dropbox for Windows Mobile

I was recently introduced to a desktop app called Dropbox.
https://www.dropbox.com/
I instantly fell in love with the app but it's designed only for Windows/Mac/iPhone but not Windows Mobile.
I was hoping there would be a someone out there interested in developing a Windows Mobile Version of this app.

Oh this would be great. Dropbox is awesome, I use it all the time to sync up my laptop files and my desktop.
Here's my shameless referral link:
https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTE4OTczMDY5
If you sign up for an account through that link we'll each get a bonus 250MB added to our online storage.

Very cool. Can't wait for that to be finished.

Uploading files

Is it possible to upload files straight from phone to site? If so explain how please, tried advanced options for ' quick reply', but couldn't get past choose file screen. I have two leaked Galaxy S 2 lwp that are pretty cool. Windmills and beach that change with time of day and weather.

Try using dropbox that's how I do it at least. It will let you upload pretty much whatever. You can get it in the market free!

I agree, Dropbox is great. I've been thinking of upgrading to a paid account when I get a little more money saved (I just went on an app buying/dev donation spree, so definitely over my online quota right now). I just found out the hard way that there's a 10 gig/day bandwidth limit for public links, but it's definitely a great site.
If you're talking about on xda, I haven't found a way to do it yet. Even with the user agent set to desktop, it won't work. I think this is because it doesn't integrate Android file explorers. You can always use Dropbox or another hosting site and link others to the file. With Dropbox, I just use the mobile app. Once you've uploaded whatever you want to share to your "Public" folder, long press the item, choose share, and then "copy a link". This will result in a direct download, which I prefer over other sites.
If you want extra space, sign up with my referral here:

EDIT: First link was wrong, so I fixed it. I believe you have to install Dropbox as well to get the extra space.

Thanks for your help...uploaded both live wp in the Themes and Apps section.

Skydrive offers 25GB Free Storage (Limited Offer)

I use Sky drive a lot more than dropbox since I have Windows 8 the intergration is good. Today they are offering a free upgrade to 25GB of Cloud storage. Just login to Skydrive select Claim your 25 GB and click on Free Upgrade. Done

Don't all wp7 owners get 25 Gb anyway. Thought that was normal or am I missing something?

Well yeah the title is a little bit misleading.
SkyDrive used to offer 25GB for every user for free, but today they decreased that to only 7GB because over 99% use less than 7GB (and that is still more than Dropbox offers).
However, if you have been a user in the past and already use more than 7GB you will get to keep your free 25GB. If you do not use more than 7GB of the service you have to sign in and go to manage storage, from there you can get a free upgrade to 25GB for the time being.

Also as a side note if you made a account after April 1st you will not get the free upgrade. For New WP users they had to April 22, if you already had more than 7gb on SkyDrive you will be automatically keep the old 25GB storage amount. Now I would advise people to go hit up your old hotmail accounts and click that free upgrade.

Thanks
The title is a bit misleading and maybe think about changing it , but you are correct and thanks for the information. just took advantage of the free upgrade

Already dropping my Dropbox! (did you catch that?? hahhahaha)
Anyway, anyone noticed any kind of " show deleted files", or "previous versions"? Dropbox features that, and would be wierd if SkyDrive didnt.

IIRC there is Revision tracking for Office documents. You can see who edited what and revert changes.
I just upgraded my account to 25GB and installed the SkyDrive App on Windows. Now I have automatic synchronization of my documents between SkyDrive, my PC and Lumia 800. Epic

thanks for the info. I use the Skydrive more regular now than i thought.
I have DropBox also... but 2GB doesn't cut it.

yesss... better than my 8GB DropBox
And I also like prices for paid service!!!
p.s. the 7 to 25 GB update is only for accounts that already uses skydrive (or account that used it once)

I use it for Cloud Music, various documents, and... wait for it... recipes. It's very hand to pin a recipe to the home screen when shopping for ingredients.

Yes, but that may be due to many people trying to get their SkyDrives up and running.

Thought so. Yet, this is frustrating.. ;/
Edit:
Also, shared files/folders doesnt seem to appear together your own files. That is really bad..

Ok, saw the free upgrade and got it. Thanks for the the heads up, I had no idea they were going t lower it to 7Gb. Thanks op!!

edit:quick google shows was released yesterday

Thanks for this....I've been using skydrive for a long time now but, just for a few documents and some WP7 apps (store their files on it). I was using less than 1gb, but, now I got plenty of space.
Can Zune (on my WP7 phone) stream from there ?

Zune, currently, cannot stream from SkyDrive, but Cloud Music can.

[APP] [NEWS] Google Drive on HOX - Now Available! :D

Just unlocked my HOX and saw that their was an update notification.
It was Google Drive!!!
Apparently, the Docs app has been updated to Google Drive.
Still exploring. More to follow.
Update 1: You get 5 gigs of storage space to begin with.
Update 2: It is ICS optimized (no annoying 3 dots). Why the Docs app wasn't optimized becomes clear now.
Update 3: The app is a bit rough around the edges. Stuttery scrolling and some low-res graphics.
Update 4: Drive supports upto 30 different file formats. Some (like PSDs) cannot be previewed by the app but can be in the web version.

Me too, but when you have 49GB for free on Dropbox, why bother?

Simple - Docs. That's my primary office suite. And I'm sure it will have a lot of other (free or otherwise) goodies to offer as well. Basically the ability to sync with all of Goog's services.
Also, Collaborative editing - A boon for people like me.
Support for 30 different types of file in the browser – including Photoshop and Illustrator files
Upto 16TB of purchasable space
It could go on and on... ;-)

How is this accomplished, I need this.
Not to get off topic, but I will probably be getting Google Drive, as I do use Google docs quite extensively when working with teams. Looks pretty cool!
You mention that only 30 types of files are "compatible" with Google Drive. Do you mean that only 30 file types are viewable, or only up-loadable?

[Q] Best app to automatically upload camera photos to Picasa, etc.?

I have a tendency to accidentally lose photos (eg: SD card crashes, etc.), and wanted to know the best program that automatically uploads photos to the cloud, whether it be Picasa or whatever.
I know joining Google+ allows you to do this, but the big problem is it resizes the photos prior to uploading them, and I wanted to keep the native size.
I've tried Picasa Mobile, but it doesn't organize photos well at all and doesn't let the native camera app automatically upload photos. Any other suggestions?

Have you tried dropbox? They upgrade your 2 GB with an additional 500MB when you elect to upload automatically.

I love using Dropbox for picture upload. Up to 6 GB now and the nice thing is, I just bought a new laptop, downloaded the Dropbox app on the computer and it downloaded all my pictures back to my computer.

agree with Dropbox. Photobuck mobile app also allows to do this.

You can use "Folder Sync" android free app. Free user can add one folder to sync with your favorite cloud. If you can buy premium version you can sync unlimited folders with different cloud services.
As well as you can use "DropPin " but it only support dropbox.
