Hey I stumbled across this piece of gold and had to share.
Box.com has a new promotion going on. You log into Box from ANY android device (tablet or phone) and your account (preexisting or new) is upgraded to 50gig.
For my buddies that have iPhone i just let them log in from my phone and bam!
"Congratulations, Your account has be upgraded to 50Gig"
The offer ends March 23 btw.
Please let me know if this post should be elsewhere.
Wish it had a free syncing option for the PC....

Agreed. That is definitely a weak point and is only part of a business/enterprise account.
If you download Box's SimpleShare (win and mac) you can just drag and drop files to your "Box". One cool thing is that when you drag a file into it the URL is copied to your clipboard so you can just paste it say on xda to share. Has video capture with auto upload too.
Also, I'm not sure how well it works but I've read on other posts that you can stream your music with ES File manager from your "Box".
do you have to log in from the app or browser?
Didn't get my 50 gigs. Oh well this would help with ROM hosting.
Yes...

...If you have a preexisting Box account and have already used a promotion of some sort then you will not get it. Just create a new account with box.net via the browser then log back in to the app or create a new account from within the app.
This should work for you. I don't know if there are any weird country restrictions...?

I logged out of my old accounts, deleted the app, reinstalled, created a new account, bam 50gig.
Logged out, tried my old accounts, bam, each upgraded to 50gig.

ROM hosting may be an issue due to the 100M file size upload limit.

Hello Nexusers
I hope it's the right place to post it, it's related to ICS 4.0 and the newest Gmail app.
Some time ago I decided to check an .xlsx file through Gmail app. It sent the file straight to pre loaded I guess, ThinkFree Office. What happened next amazed me a lot, ThinkFree asked me about the password to the file. The thing is there is no password because I can easily open it on my PC.
Can anybody check if Calc .xlsx files can be opened on your phone?
Cheers

I think this is dependent on you having something like Docs2go or some other program that can open an xlsx file.

You are correct. It's entirely up to what apps you have that handle them. The included ThinkFree might not, I'm still waiting for mine so can't test it.
Depends what app you have available to open it. You should be able to open it with Google Docs if you have it installed.

I've got Google Docs installed but can't integrate it with Gmail. Only option is Open or Save. There is no pop up with an app to choose. I don't know how to integrate it. Anybody?

Or if you already have Google Docs installed it just asks you to update and voilà, Google Drive.
It says google drive is not ready, and it will send me an email when it is.
Thanks op
Do you have to have google docs to have google drive?

No, I actually hadn't re-installed Google Docs but downloaded Google Drive directly from the market.
Also says that it is not ready...
Okay I see what you're talking about, my bad, I hadn't tried running it yet had just downloaded it from the market with no problems.
It may be that it is only open to a limited amount of people right now. It is working fine for me, just downloaded it today.
ive got it. i was asked to upgrade mine, which i never had installed atleast intentionally.
I installed today and it is working fine for me as well.
My phone must be having a schizo kind of day, it would seem my google drive is now accessible. lol
itll work for anyone, just open the browser and click the docs link, then it will say download the app, then after you download it will say your device not ready and then click notify me. now go back to browser and click docs again and google drive will open and be working fine.

Will google let us link our files to others?
The last time I used google docs was probably 3 years ago, files are still there I just don't access them anymore.
Google music- I mean, play music, is great in theory and terrible in practice. It lags and pauses repeatedly on the phone and apparently cannot be played in firefox while on xp, with certain isp's while missing certain obscure security patches that no one can point to.
I just can't see using Drive for anything meaningful. My wife has two companies she does work for and they either use their own database or dropbox.
Did you delete the Sprint proxies on your phone? Once I set mine to 0.0.0.0 streaming was much, much better with Google Music.

Not bad, i got a free lifetime 50gb from box.com so i dont see myself using this for the time being

I wasn't sure where to post this so I hope this was the right place.
I took advantage of the free 50gb cloud storage from box and now I'm looking for an app that will do automatic backup of the phone (pictures, documents, ect..) straight to my box account. Something similar to google+ instant upload but to box.
Any ideas or apps that can do this?
Thanks in advance.

im not sure if they are still doing it but lg cloud has the same 50gb deal and it automatically backs up pictures and i think whatever else you choose
That sounds nice but I rather use my box account.
Then I am of no help lol

Yeah LG still has it I downloaded it a few days ago and it works I had some movies I wanted to upload cause my box account had a restriction on upload size for free users

I will answer my own question for someone that is in the same boat. I did some googling and after a few different sites mentioning foldersync, I decided to give it a try. Works perfect and gives you many options. Also will sync to many different cloud services.
Currently I'm using the foldersync lite, but I might pay for the full soon.
If you use carbon you can back up to box

Sorry I didn't see this a couple of days ago, I could have told you about foldersync. Personally have not used it but know people that have. Glad you got the thing squared away.
I will assume everyone knows about this app. You can basically track and wipe phone remotely and many other features. It is only free for today so go grab yours today.
Steps:
1. Download Cerberus
2. Create Account
3. Receive e-mail with license
If you cannot connect to services get on 4g/data and it'll hopefully good through.
Some info from their facebook page: (https://www.facebook.com/CerberusAndroid/posts/472927216123259)
A couple of clarifications on the promotion we are doing with AppGratis:
- The promo will end at 1 PM GMT, June 7
- It is only for new accounts created in this time frame. So if you already have an account with the free trial expired, unfortunately you can't get the full license for free.

Yes I tried, I got the e-mail almost instantly. Took me awhile to register because servers are getting hammered.
But if you tried the trial, it my not work with the same account.

How do I register if i've had it before but for the free trial only

If you did the free trial, unfortunately it won't give you the full license since its for new accounts only. I would recommend grabbing another android device that you did not use the trial on and creating a new account with that.

Try to do it through 4g/data, the servers are getting hammered so that error message is normal because I received it too.
wow, great find! thanks for sharing
Absolutely fantastic. Thanks OP!

Have never lost a phone before but better safe than sorry

Easy fix:
1) Go the the Cerberus login page and enter your info
2) Once logged in (if your trial is expired) it should give you a message saying "Your trial has expired!"
3) If you see the trial expired message, you should also see a "Delete Account" option on the same page, click that
4) Once your account is deleted simply download/reinstall the app and register again (you can even use the same info)
Voila! Free license!
Didnt try it but read it in reddit Try your luck
THanks a lot, uff that was close its almost 1am

Maybe if you bought a second device, otherwise I don't know. I guess you get it through your device serial number when the app comes preinstalled

The dropbox offer is only valid once per account.
I tried with my s3, note 10.1, and s4 but it only activated once.
The way I got around it is to create 5 dropbox accounts, and activated each to 50gb. (You need to clear app data between activations)
It expires after 2 years, but whatever is on there wont get deleted.
So I have one where I keep my clonezilla images (47gb), another where I keep all my drivers/firmwares (35gb), one where I keep my encrypted Titanium backups for all my devices (41gb), one for my music playlist (24gb) and another where I keep ebooks and audio books (32gb).
I use dropsync from playstore, and configure multiple profiles in titanium backup to manage backups and syncing between all the accounts.
good luck
If it aint broke, you haven't modded it enough
Where and how do i clear the app data?
Note that i'm not rooted.
Thanks in advance

Go to settings->general->application manager and click on the app of which the data you want to clear. And then select clear data and clear cache. Hope this helps.
