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.

How do i get my 25GB Dropbox?

How do i get my 25GB dropbox? I setup a new account on the phone when i set it up but i still only have the minimum

Same here, I logged into the app when i turned on the phone and I havent received my 23gb or any email. I installed a hacked XDA members app that game me 23gb before I got the phone but the next day Dropbox had removed the 23gb!

you have to invite people to join drop box in order to gain more space. Based on the email I got they just upped the Max amount of space you can get. You can also gain some space by uploading photos if you have not already.

You're meant to get 25gb of storage (or 23gb if you're already an existing user) when you buy a HTC One Handset.

You get an email few hours later.
Thanks for supercharging your HTC device with Dropbox! To get the most out of your Dropbox and claim your extra 23 GB of space, visit our Getting Started guide !

That might have something to do with it; dropbox have said that they're going to be removing the space from people who used apps which spoofed the One X to get the extra 23GB, so if they've done that to your account it's probably not going to automatically re-add the space just because it's got another install claiming to be from a One X. You might need to contact them.

Yeah, i've sent them an email, will await a response but doubt they will do anything about it now after the app I installed before lol.

try going to https://www.dropbox.com/account#manage
and unlink your computer and phone and re-log into dropbox from your devices and it should re-set itself!

Didn't work and it's starting to bug me

Maybe all the tasks have to be completed but that's a bit annoying I think the phone should set it up immediately

4 days and still no increase for me.
i got 2 mails from dropbox, followed the link in the one that says "follow this to claim your 23GB", landed in a 7-step process which you have to complete to get 250MB (as it says)...
didn't complete it btw, i'm on 4/7 or something
so what's with this mess?
1. do you get automatically 25GB after you create an account from the phone?
2. do you get 25GB after you complete that retarded 7-step thing instead of the displayed 250MB?

I got the mail 5 mins after I installed on my Desktop.

I take it back, it just worked.
Now I just need my battery life sorted.

AH LOL!!!
i completed one more step -for a total of 5 out of 7 - (create a shared folder) and i got a popup on my desktop saying "Good News: the space has been increased to 25GB"
nevertheless, a good initiative from HTC&Dropbox but executed like ****.
LE: got another mail:
"Congrats on becoming a Dropbox Guru! We've awarded you 23 GB of bonus space for the next 24 months! You now have 25.75 GB on Dropbox. To get even more space, check out our upgrade options. Thanks again for supercharging your HTC device with Dropbox!"

I still have not got email from dropbox or increase in space after 2 days.
I'd like to ask you guys what can we used the 25GB for?
I currently have 7.2GB throught their beta program and only used 1.4GB. I mean we can not stream music with dropbox, got Google Music for that. We can not stream video without downloading it 1st, I've PLEX setup for that as well. Also the size is too small to be used as backup for files on PC.
So any ideas on how to use the 25GB space?

How many of the getting started tasks have you done? It really seems that it's to do with going past five of them that activates it.

6 out of the 7, done them before getting the One X, only one left is to invite someone. Maybe there is a bug when most of the tasks are already done.
I'm not really bothered about the extra space on dropbox, but will send them an email if it still not working after a week.

I already setup a dropbox account a few weeks ago in preparation for when I got my one x - did the usual tricks to get some extra space to start with. As soon as I logged into dropbox on my one x, I got an email instantly advising me of the extra 23GB -great service imo.
Just need something to upload now lol - but of a useless feature for me at the moment now I think about it but I'm sure I will make use of it in the future.

dropbox - no free 23GB

anyone else had the same issue as me with dropbox not getting the 23gb free space?
it is a brand new phone, and i have only signed into it with my one dropbox account.
signed into dropbox and still only 8gb. emailed them and not had a reply.
any help would be appreciated.

There is another main thread regarding this. It takes a few days to get the extra storage but does happen eventually.
Do a search on the One X forums for dropbox.

Use the search man, there's already a topic about that. Your answer should be in there:

You need to log into dropbox.com and go through all the getting started steps. After this you instantly get an extra 23gb of storage. At least this is what happened for me.

I completed the GS guide ages ago. I am still without the extra storage.
I have contacted support who responded with a canned response. "Complete the "Getting Started" guide", which I stated I had in the original email.
That was over a week ago, no response yet, nor do I have the storage.

my situation isn't quite the same. i signed in with an existing dropbox account on the pre-installed dropbox app and i have not got my 23gb free space. It has been over 2 weeks now and emailed dropbox a week ago.
my girlfriend also got a one x with me, she got her 23gb free space right away.

I did it with my existing account too and on the first attempt of going through the 'Getting Started' guide, no extra storage for a few days.
Then I re-opened the link from the same original email, just clicked some of the items not 'ticked' on the list and got an instant message saying storage had been increased.

Mine initially didn't add the extra space, but it was there around 20 mins later when I re-checked it. In the time I had visited the website also so maybe existing customers need to do this?

Right well I would suggest contacting HTC UK Support regarding this then.

Did you download the hacked dropbox .apk from a few weeks ago? I did and I havent gotten my extra 23GB, that's something to consider

No need to complain.
1. Ensure you have a Dropbox account created within Settings > Accounts and sync
2. Upload a picture or document from your phone.
3. You will get an email "Get free Dropbox space" stating "to claim your extra 23 GB of space, complete five steps from your Getting Started Guide". Once you click the link and complete 5 steps you get another email.
4. Email subject "Dropbox bonus space received!" confirmation sent.

Think this could have a lot to do with it .The account i have that used the hacked dropbox app won't upgrade to 23Gb but another non hacked account gave me the 23GB

I didn't use any modified apk's. Still no space.

not concerned about the files so much, more that this account has 8gb space and i wanted the 23gb on top of that.

ahhh right enough the one that won't upgrade had 6.25Gb on it too

I had a similar problem. I remember getting an email about receiving extra space when I was on my sensation running a sense 4 ROM. I didn't claim the space, and when I got my One X I didn't get an email about claiming the extra 23gb. Maybe my chance was wasted when running sense 4 on my sensation.
Anyway, I just set up Dropbox with my secondary Gmail account and got the space straight away. Everything synced over from my existing dropbox folder on my laptop.
I wouldn't be too concerned about not getting the 23gb on top of your 8gb anyway... The 23gb is only for 2 years so I wouldn't get too attached.
Edit: looking back through my emails, 3gb of the 7gb I have on my first dropbox account is from supercharging my sensation, and it expires after a year anyway. Defo worth just setting up the new account and getting the 23gb.

[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.

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.

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?

It takes awhile to sync the first time then you will see all your stuff

I'm really enjoying it. I've been getting my Android back stuff on there and my photos. You can't hide folders but they are set to private with access granted by other users email addresses being added to view your folder.

It looks alright, but I alraedy have 50 gbs of storage on Box :/

50 GB from drive is nice I agree, but I rarely use it because of the file size limitation...
So on Drive the problem I have with is the android app kind of sucks. I don't need the alphabet showing me where I'm at between files. It makes it show a lot fewer files at a time.. I want just a file explorer kind of view. I need the ability to add folders. And the worse thing is where are the files after I make them available offline? Like if I store android files and then make them offline for phone use I can't access them outside of the drive app unless I'm missing something.
Things that will change in time I'm sure, but for now since I primarily use my android devices over PC I have still been using drop box mostly other than to est stuff.

I like sugarsync.
