Hey guys, I recently just decided to join the Dropbox/ Cloud storage initiative. I found the best possible Cloud storage service called SugarSync.
The best thing about it, is that unlike Dropbox, You can sync any folder on your pc, as well as having a Universal folder that syncs with every device like Dropbox.
The second best thing is that you get 5GB of storage instead of 2GB, and upto 32GB through referrals, unlike 16GB in Dropbox.
The last thing I love is that with SugarSync you can Sync entire folders with your phone unlike Dropbox, where you can only sync a file at a time.
Anyway instead of me talking about it have a try for yourself. Just click on this link SugarSync, to get 5.5GB storage instead of the 5GB that comes with it, or click the link in my Signature.
Hope you like it as much as I do.

For anyone that hasn't been able to get in on the 50GB giveaways from Box.net, they are now offering anyone who downloads their Android app and signs up in the next month 50GBs of cloud storage.

The only drawback is that uploads are limited to 100MB.

Thanks Brian, it worked.
Worked for me. Thanks!
Worked for me as well! 50gb lifetime on my account
Good looking out, thanks!
Nice find... thank you!
just got mine too, now what to do with all this space, can i backup my entire phone to it somehow?
Thank you very much for the info, I will take an extra 50 GB any time +1
very nice!!!
Good looking out!
The 100MB file size limit is very disappointing and I hope they change it in the near future. What's stunning is that the earlier version of this promotion, with the HP TouchPad for example, 50GB accounts also came with a 1GB file size limit. I can confirm this because I have since commandeered my friend's account with those limits.
There was also a way to to get 50GB under the LG Android promotion (we just edited build.prop, which is what the box.net app checked), but that too came with the 100MB limit.
It's great to have 50GB lifetime storage for free, but I really wish they upped the limit to >300MB. I find myself using my Dropbox (24GB storage, 300MB limit via mobile, unlimited file size via desktop). Write to BOX and ask for bigger limit, or post in their forums!
Sweet i'll take 50, thank you
Phonearena pointed me in that direction but still got it. Good lookn out

Too bad they want you to pay to use their file sync program. Guess I'll be sticking with dropbox. Thanks for the link though.

Yes, I appreciate 50GB free storage, but without sync it is pretty useless. The point for me of having cloud storage is to backup my computer and have access to all my files in the cloud from my portable devices and to keep the files in sync from all these devices. I certainly don't need 50GB of storage to upload a few files from my phone. So will keep using dropbox, until I can figure away to sync.
Hate to sound ungrateful, it just is not that useful at this point.
The SGN2 will probably get 50GB Dropbox for free.
How does this work on Android? On my PC there is a local folder that gets synced with Dropbox but if it works the same on Android where is the data stored if you only have 16GB on your device?
Can you get Dropbox to work with an SD Card? With a 64GB SD card I could get all my 50GB Dropbox data on there.
No, it only saves files you open. If you open a document, it's gonna cache it on the Internal memory. AFAIK there's no way of making it sync like a desktop does.

There is a "star" option in dropbox app which allows you to get offline access to your favorite (stared) files.
So i keep there the files i really need on the go.
It doesnot save files on your device it saves it online in cloud servers of dropbox.
1) I installed Dropbox and I was expecting 50Gb but only got 2Gb. Is there a way to get the remaining storage?
2) It seems very slow. Is that normal?
3) Can you access it through a rooted file manager like root explorer?
Thanks.

When I did it they had me complete 5 steps of 7 listed in order to get the 50Gbs. Steps included taking a tutorial, referring a friend, etc. Took me about 5 mins to complete.
All I had to do was to log into my dropbox with my new GS3 and I received the bonus space.
Invite more people to increase the space on dropbox.
I had a dropbox account prior to my SGS3 purchase. I've logged into my dropbox account with my S3 but don't see a way to get the free 50gb.
Any suggestions as to what I may be doing wrong?
Thanks for any help

I did not do anything special. I did not even know about the bonus until it happened. I simply used the dropbox app on my phone to connect to my existing dropbox account. Shortly after that I received an email telling me about the bonus.
Got it to work but later found the e-mail. I had to install dropbox onto a second computer to qualify.
Don't forget folks that the S3 bonus space is only temporary. Just wanted to remind you guys of that. So if you intend to keep dropbox for all your cloud storing needs be aware it is only for about a year or two. After that I believe you would have to become a paying customer or loose the bonus storage. The S3 bonus storage is like forty something gigs from what I can remember. Sorry I don't have the specifics but you can check from your account online and see how much it is and when it expires.
An alternative if you need storage for your pics and vids is photobucket. It automatically uploads pics and vids, dropbox only does pics as of now, and you get unlimited storage with no expiration.
The bonus is for two years. I figure that by then I will either be buying s new phone (and hoping a similar deal is on) our that there are other options.

Gotta figure by that time cloud storage will be dirt cheap
Just letting my fellow Android owners know about a new cloud storage option, most similar to Dropbox but not unlike Box (minus the upload limit), Google Drive, SugarSync, etc.
As a limited time launch bonus, they're offering a 5GB bonus storage to who use a referral link.
It's as simple as click the link, sign up, confirm your email address, install the app to your phone.
Enjoy your 10GB FREE cloud storage.
Copy have responded to Google increasing users' storage across Google+, Google Drive etc and have decided to increase Copy users' storage to 15GB too. So forget 10GB, enjoy your 20GB
It also doesn't expire.

You are allowed a discrete sig link too.
Hi Guys,
I was forced to move to a different online storage service due to Sugarsync going paid-only. Copy by Barracuda is a great service, and the best thing about it, it lets you migrate all your data from any online storage service, directly, not wasting you downloads or uploads.
"Copy" has a great Android App

To get the full 20GB, click on this link , which gives you the 15GB free plus 5GB bonus storage.
