[Q] Google Drive - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

I have a question regarding sharing files in Google Drive.
I just wanted to start by saying I am new to cloud storage (I used Dropbox but not very often) so please forgive me if this question is for noobs.
I started using Google Drive yesterday and placed a couple pictures of my son into My Drive. The pictures uploaded without a problem. I wanted to share them with my father. So what I did was place a check mark beside the pics I wanted to share, then clicked the share button. It went into the share settings and asked me to add people. So I added his email address and that showed up without issue. You can then select if you would like the recipient to edit, comment or view. I chose to have him view the file.
Once that was setup I went to the More drop down menu and selected share....email collaborators. Then I sent the email to him. He received the email with a link to the pictures, however it told him he must sign in with a username and password. I retried again and sent it as an attachment instead.
Why does he have to sign in with a username and password if I email collaborator? If I was to send a file to a co-worker I would have to provide them with my username and password to access the file?
Just a little confused. Any clarification or assistance is much appreciated. Thanks.

well that's how Google wants to play, nothing we can do about it...sorry dude

Ok, I asked a co-worker the above question and she said that he would also need a Google Drive account as well. That way the file/pictures will be available in his Shared With Me Folder. If he doesn't have a Google Drive account I would either have to send as an attachment, just like a regular email or provide him with access to my Google Drive account. thanks for your response.

Turns out I am the idiot. My sharing options were set to Private which require a password to log in. I have since changed it to Anyone with the Link, so no password is required.
Just thought I would share in case anyone else has the same issues as myself. Thanks.

ROTFLMFAO Awesome! Nice to know thanks. I should give this app a try. Instead of me sending MMS pics of my son to my dad.

Phantom Email account

so I have deleted my email accounts, both of them but manilla still shows one of them. When I click on it from the manilla tab, it does not do anything. I can flip thru them as if they are still there but I can not open the email like normal. Windows knows that it has been deleted but manilla still thinks it is there.
Anyone know of a way I can delete it?
Thanks,
Jeff
If you're not going to have email accounts on your device, then why not just remove the Mail tab altogether?

I want email, I have two email accounts, but with this phantom, which happens to be a copy of my work email, it shows three.
When Make the new account called "work" it it says that I already have an account named work and I have to name it something else.
When I look at the accounts in windows mobile, there only shows two. Manilla is convinced that there are three.
I have tried to search the registry to delete all things named my work email once I deleted both my accounts but it is still there.
Anyone have any ideas?
THanks,
Jeff
Does anyone have any ideas about this? I am sure that a hard reset would do it but the issue is not worth that, I would rather just find a fix for it.
thanks all,
Jeff

does disabling sense allow you to create the work e-mail?
double check all registry entries, it most likely won't be labeled work either.

I've encountered this in the past but can't remember how exactly I got rid of it. I remember I used a program such as memmaid, sktools or pocket mechanic to delete the phantom account and then just readded it. I've been checking my phone to find out how I did it but as of yet i've not found it. Will post back as soon as I do though.
Sorry I cant be much more help at the mo, but just know this issue can be fixed without a hard reset.

thanks all!!

thx, but is there anything that i can do?

open sesame
i just attempted to access my live.com email account and was greated with this msg...it may or may not be related...
"We're doing some maintenance to improve the service. We apologize for getting in your way. Please try again in a few minutes. If it's been more than an hour, tell us you're still waiting."
thx again, but i didnt even get that message,it just said that it synced and i had no new emails,hopefully it is a fix that microsoft is working on. thx again
check your account settings. Sometimes the password is not saved or some setting is not what it should be. I encountered the same issue with yahoo. Am not familiar at all with account settings so it was easier for me to delete the account and create it again. Upon creation I had not issues.

[Q] Redeeming free apps

Hi I'm new to these forums and I must say I love them! There's so much useful information!
So I thought that when buying this tablet I would get a bunch of free stuff. (50 gigs of dropbox, free linkedin pro for 3 months, etc...) I can't find any information about this anymore, I'm I missing something? Does anyone have any clue how to do this? I have already registered my device with Samsung btw.
Thanks in advance,

You should receive an email detailing the offers, sent to the address from which you registered your Samsung account. BTW, some of the offers, like the NYT access, begin from the time you register the account, NOT from the time you first access the offer. So, the first time I tried to access the Times premium content, it told me something like my premium access trial had expired, and asked whether I'd like to continue with a full-price subscription?
HA! Not likely...

Yes that's what I thought. I just double checked and I did receive an email after registering, but didn't see any links to get free stuff. In comparison I still had an email from when I registered my S3 with a link to get free stuff. I'm confused about what I else I can/should try... :s

Have you registered your device via the Galaxy Perks page?
Log in to your Samsung Account via a web browser (you can use the above link). Click on your name in the upper right, and select "My Profile". Verify that your device shows up. Sometimes just logging in to your Samsung Account via a web browser seems to trigger it, so it doesn't hurt to try even if you know you already registered your device.
Have you added the Samsung Account to the Note 2014 yet? If not, launch Samsung Apps and sign in with your Samsung Account when prompted. You might need to press the menu button and then select "Sign In" if it doesn't automatically ask you.
If you have, remove the Samsung Account, launch Samsung Apps and sign in again.
If you've done all that, you SHOULD get the "<NAME>, your gift for registering..." email at the Gmail account you specified when you registered.

Psa cant track order or lookup order ****

Hi Everyone. It seems alot of people are having the same problems I had. You can not look up your order. Using quick order lookup with Order number and passord says invalid order or password. Order Lookup with Order number says EMAIL_MISSING on digital river website. OR other order lookup on htc.com says enter a valid email address when you are entering a valid email address.
Also Trying the forget password says invalid email address so you cant even reset your password. Here is what I did. I contacted htc through a message here(not chat, they cant do anything really)
https://store.digitalriver.com/DRHM...=htcus&Locale=en_US&ThemeID=38736100&Env=BASE
What you need to tell them is you need you password reset because you can not look up your order because it doesnt think your email is valid or the password is right. You get all the above errors. Give them your order ID and Email address you used or got your order confirmation to. Keep riding them till they send you a email with a password reset link. Once you get it ( i got mine after a day asking twice) reset it. Make your new password.
Go back to login here
https://store.digitalriver.com/DRHM...=htcus&Locale=en_US&ThemeID=38736100&Env=BASE
Once you login for me atleast I looked under order history nothing showed. but go to the order lookup that asks for your order number and password and it should show you your order.
Hope this helps. It drove me to almost cancel my preorder.
I'm having this problem as well now. And I'd honestly rather just wait for a shipping email/confirmation than drive myself nuts w/ customer service reps. It's crazy that all this is necessary

Yeah it is crazy. Its like when you place your order it takes your email for updates but its never stored in to look up your order or to make and account like it says. It should be sending out a new unique password after you order but it doesnt.
Even when trying to reset password on that digital river link
Keeps saying invalid email.
So I'll have to contact HTC like you said, hopefully it gets working soon.
Already posted this in shipping thread but I'll describe what I did again here hoping it helps more people
go to this page:
https://store.digitalriver.com/DRHM...=htcus&Locale=en_US&ThemeID=38736100&Env=BASE
click forgot order password
In the popup if you scroll down there should be a prompt for just an order number, click submit and it should send a password reset URL to the email used when ordering. Then it should prompt you to enter a new account email and password. After resetting it took 20-30 min for it to actually let me log in.

In the UK I am able to use this address, type in my order number and password and it looks up my order. I cant do anything else at all. Here is the site I use: https://shop.eu.htc.com/store?Action=help&Env=BASE&Locale=en_GB&SiteID=htcemea

Thats about all i can do also lol
Edit: oops, wrong thread, but thanks for the info
When you look up the order, use internet explorer instead of chrome, I had this same issue and I know IE sux but it will let you see the order status. In chrome I get the invalid password or order number error but not in IE. Actually you can even look up the order status on your phone. In the Google Search, just type HTC order lookup, go to the site, put in your number and password and boom!

Trying to delete long unused account but can't remember details

I apologize in advance if this is in the wrong place. I have tried using the webmaster contact form but the message never goes through and throws up an error message.
When I try to change the email address on the account I am posting this from, I am told that another account is already using that email. I suppose I set up an account some time ago that I never used and I don't even remember what user name I used so I can't use the delete account web form.
Since I can't seem to solve this using the standard web based forms what should I do? Thanks.
