? About data/tethering

Hey guys, just wondering how much data would be acceptable for tethering use to my tablet. I know sprint is unlimited data but can't I get kicked off if they find out I'm tethering illegally or whatever by using to much data? Just wondering because I used about 2 gigs in just about 4 days tethering so I don't want to use too much over the next month and get my whole family kicked off the network. Thanks.

Through tethering though or it doesnt matter? Thanks

Between Slacker, youtube, nav, netflix, and all the other things I've started using since I got my E4GT in November, I started burning through an average of 5 gigs a month just in on-phone use.
They can't differentiate between on-phone and 'non-sanctioned' tethered usage except when you use a truly unrealistic volume of data. The guy who burned 50 gigs downloading torrents or whatever is an idiot because that is OBVIOUSLY tethered usage. People like him are the ones that are going to ruin it for all of us. People like him will be to blame when Sprint drops unlimited on-phone.

Thanks for the reply but yea I was just worried about using too much data and getting my fam kicked off sprint. I used 500 mb today alone tethering to my tablet so I was curious what sort of limit i should stop myself at. Being on the ICS leaks, I put the data limit using the built in settings app for 10 gigs. Do you think that would be too much even?

NO, I have hit 10 several times with just my phone.

I agree, 10 wouldn't be out of the question given the type of data-burning apps we have at our leisure. It would be at the high end, but absolutely reasonable.

On 3g I hit 8gb on 4g I hit 7gb and that's since I found out about foxfi no root required just download and run it its a free tethering app

I would not worry about it on a tablet , but tethered to a xbox or laptop etc they can tell the difference in your usage so go easy on said devices if you use them tethered ..

Did you guys get the 50 gig dropbox?

I am getting the Note 2 on Tuesday, I was wondering if Tmobile or Samsung offered the 50 gig dropbox space for 2 years with the purchase of Note 2.
Thanks
Eccoo

I didn't know we were going to get the 50GB of storage until yesterday. Yes I got mine.

log in to Dropbox on the phone. you'll get an email asking you to confirm you want the 50GB's a few minutes later. complete that process and you are good to go.
keep in mind, the offer doesn't stack. so if you did it once with the SGS3 you can't do it again.

Got my 50 GB's when I set up drop box on my phone
Wonder what happens to all your data after a year and you lose the 50GB and go back to your old quota?

the 50G is for two years. I think dropbox sends you a warning before, they won't delete your data without notifying you.

what i've read the account goes read only. I don't think it will flat out delete all the data. I'm not aware how long it will let you stay in that limbo however.
(IE, using the 'read only' account to stream movies over and over again). i would imagine at some point it will start deleting after you've accessed it enough.)

From https://www.dropbox.com/help/333/en
If your paid account expires or is downgraded, or the space granted to your account by a promotion expires, all of the files in your Dropbox folder will still be available to you on your computers, phones, and via the Dropbox website. However, Dropbox will only sync the amount of space allotted to your Dropbox account. This means that new files added to your Dropbox will not sync to other computers or be available online until the amount of disk space used in your Dropbox drops below the amount of Dropbox space allotted to your account.

This is a great promotion for people. Id almost rather have the big dropbox account than an sd card slot. All my stuff lives on there, and unlike the iPhone it becomes a whole other usable drive with your PC. The options are near endless especially if you get dropsync going, automatically transferring your media and such. Best cloud service there is.

Only downside is if you don't have a signal or data, then you don't have access to your files. What I don't understand is everyone asking about the 32GB variant of this phone. Why not just buy a 16GB version and buy a 32GB or 64GB microSD card for under 50 bucks and call it a day. It's the beauty of having an SD slot on the phone, unlike the Iphone or the LG Nexus.
Or am I missing something? Which is quite possible.

Because people need more than 16GB + 64GB.
As for Dropbox's expiration date of two years, I'm sure most of us will upgrade to another phone by then that will probably offer 50 to 100GB of free dropbox space.

Im still waiting on mine from the s3 ... well i got it then they took it back . Anyway i received the email today opened it . Still waiting

MediaFire Android app lands in Google Play with 50GB of free storage

MediaFire happens to be one of the more well known cloud storage solutions available. And while they have a nice offer, 50GB of free cloud-based storage (and a 200MB file upload size), there has been one item that may have kept them from being fully adopted by Android users — the lack of an app. That being said though, the MediaFire Android app has recently come available.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mediafire.android

Probably would have taken me a while to realize the release without your post :highfive:

Is there a legitamate reason to upgrade to the 1.50 per month plan? Is there a benefit? I'm only looking for to backup files and pics. And I'm confused as to what it means by limited for the timeframe that we can store our files on the free account. Anyone know what that means?

Like all the other free storage, its a year more than likely, then after that, you pay the fee or they cut you down to like 2g....most of them are this way. You can only get a couple gig for free with no limits

I have had the free mediafire account since 2009, I still have 50GB of available space and all the other benefits and limitations of the free plan.

I looked into this but truly I feel Adrive is a better deal. You get 50gb free with a 2gb file size upload limit or 1000 files at a time. I've had this service for 5 years almost and they have never decreased it, only increased the file limit. The only issue is the android app kind of sucks but it gets the job done. It's definitely something to look into.

Quick Office Free (Thanks 2 Google)

FREE UNTIL 9/26/2013
From now through Sept. 26, you have the opportunity to score an extra 10GB of Google Drive space, no extra charge.
The requirement: Install the new Quickoffice app for Android or iOS--which, incidentally, is also now free. Then sign into your Google account via that app. Presto! You get another 10GB of gratis storage.
Google recently purchased Quickoffice, and the fruits of their labor have finally bloomed. The app is now being offered for free for both Android and iOS, so you can do your document creation and editing without paying a cent.
Best of all, if you download the app, you can get 10 extra gigabytes of Google Drive storage for free! Sign in with your Google account in the app by September 26 and you’ll receive that 10GB for two years. Don’t expect to see it immediately; Google says it’ll be added to your account in the next few weeks.

Well, it is not free UNTIL 26.9.13, it is free without restriction, only that extra 10GB you can claim until 26.9.13. Also "recently" is very inaccurate, Google bought it more than 1 year ago.

Huh? You lost me buddy!
It's free to download in the play STORE!! FYI
And to your "recently" quote! They may have bought it a year ago. But it's now being announced that's it's available for free until the 26 of Sept. But the Sept 26 date is for the extra 10 gigs of space you GET.

No, I did not lost you, buddy. Let see:
"FREE UNTIL 9/26/2013" ... definitely not true, it will be free without restriction, that means also AFTER that date.
"Google recently purchased Quickoffice,..." ... also not true, at least I think "recently" should be maybe couple of months max, not more than a year in this case. In this case is June 2012.
from your last post "But it's now being announced that's it's available for free until the 26 of Sept." ... also not true, it will be free without restriction (as I already told).
You are only right about that until 26.9 you should get free space.
Also, I see what did you probably mean with "FREE UNTIL 9/26/2013" now, you were talking about that free space. But from the context of subject of this topic it was not clear.
But nevermind, Happy QuickOfficing for everybody.

20 TB cloud storage deal any review (Degoo on Galaxy Store)

Under apps "Made for Samsung" in Galaxy Store, Degoo App shows as 20 TB offer for Samsung.
If anyone among you have tried it and can give a review will highly appreciate it.
Have been looking for a good cloud storage service and was thinking of getting pCloud while I came across this.
Regards

Offer screenshots.

I saw it too, today, do not know what to think...

Read how Degoo work. What I remember, it's not a "true cloud". 20TB for free? Even 100GB for free is weird.

I have a 3TB lifetime sub to Degoo. It works great for my long-term storage needs. There is no native Linux client, but there is for Microsoft OS and macOS. I get an additional 2GB or so each week just for interacting with it.

Is it 20 GB or 20TB, because even OP states in title 20TB, then lists 20GB in his posts and the picture clearly shows 20000 GB = 20TB.
Let me see: with my monthly allocation of 5GB per month for high speed data on my line, I could upload my maximum allocation of data to their servers for next 333 years before they get full, WOW.

What I found... Since I am always looking for better could storage options
So here is what I found.
It's 100GB free, but you can upgrade to their ultimate plan and get the 20TB storage for $70/year since you are a "Samsung" user. Someone will have to verify if this offer is available for other brand users, I have a feeling that it is and is an introductory offer. This when compared to the Amazon storage plan I am using for photos, videos and docs is $60/ year for 1TB of storage.
Don't know if anyone used Amazon, but I signed up when they advertised "Unlimited Storage" for prime members for $60. About a year later they then dropped it to 1 TB and started offering other storage plans. Felt cheated, but that was the best available. Google is also around the same ballpark. If any of you know of any other service that will backup pictures straight from the phone for cheaper, please let me know. Comparing Amazon to this, looks like a great deal, but yet to do research on reviews, security, privacy etc.

Pcloud offers a 2TB Lifetime single payment account which I'm planning to get on Black Friday as price may drop to 275$ from current 350$.
https://www.pcloud.com/cloud-storag...p=signin&product=premium-plus&period=lifetime
If amazon can do that then so can Degoo I guess.
Also I checked 100GB free is offered to any user who signs up, the 20TB one may be exclusive to Samsung users.

For iOS, it's a set and forget. I use it to backup my photos and videos, mostly.
They have a basic app for Microsoft OS, and it does backup up your data reliably. To my knowledge, they don't deduplicate if you have the file in more than one directory, and I don't see a way to move a file once it is uploaded to Degoo. It looks like you would have to delete and reupload the file. Maybe someone else knows how to do it?
In Linux, I use the web app. I generally go to the My Files button, which shows me everything that I have backed up, by PC. I can then upload files into one of those collections.
There is an option you can set to keep files on the backup, even if they are deleted from the source system.
