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.

I have a tendency to accidentally lose photos (eg: SD card crashes, etc.), and wanted to know the best program that automatically uploads photos to the cloud, whether it be Picasa or whatever.
I know joining Google+ allows you to do this, but the big problem is it resizes the photos prior to uploading them, and I wanted to keep the native size.
I've tried Picasa Mobile, but it doesn't organize photos well at all and doesn't let the native camera app automatically upload photos. Any other suggestions?
Have you tried dropbox? They upgrade your 2 GB with an additional 500MB when you elect to upload automatically.

I love using Dropbox for picture upload. Up to 6 GB now and the nice thing is, I just bought a new laptop, downloaded the Dropbox app on the computer and it downloaded all my pictures back to my computer.

Exactly why I like dropbox.

agree with Dropbox. Photobuck mobile app also allows to do this.
You can use "Folder Sync" android free app. Free user can add one folder to sync with your favorite cloud. If you can buy premium version you can sync unlimited folders with different cloud services.
As well as you can use "DropPin " but it only support dropbox.

Hope these information will be useful!
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.
i remember seeing that the UK version came with free dropbox space...any idea if the sprint version does as well?
Yes it does, 50GB for 2 years I believe it told me

As the 50 gigs on Dropbox is nice, I use and love Google Drive. Is there a way to set photos to auto sync to Google Drive like you can with DropBox?
What does the two year thing mean? So... if I have a full of pics, in two years I have to start paying for that space? Sounds weird to me
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
it means it reverts back to the 2gb after 2 years. you can get friends to sign up to get more space, and do a couple other things to get more space.
It comes with 48GB of temporary dropbox space, good for 2 years. I had 6GB to start with and am now up to 54GB...
how do i get that space. i have an account and its synced but i see nothing about it
edit: nevermind. i went to dropbox online and hit the "get free space" link and voila it tells me i have 48 more gigs
haha! i have 86gb
So in two years does it auto-delete everything over a certain amount?
No. Your drive is just full and it will refuse to sync or allow additional data to be uploaded or modified. You will also get frequent mail bugging you to pay for the upgrade or remove the storage. I have no idea what happens if you ignore those for a long time though.

no idea with drive, but Google plus does it
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
As was just mentioned Google plus will do that for you. The gplus albums go to picasa though which uses Google drive space if the image exceeds a certain resolution. I haven't seen any way to get the raw image files into the Google drive listing short of manually storing your album sync directories on Google drive using picasa desktop. I'm using that method with certain albums that I frequently share images from (renders and screenshots) via file transfer.
It dawns on.me that you can also circumvent the manual component of the method i suggested by using the dropbox photo sync. Then set up the desktop client and point your dropbox folder to your Google drive. In that way your pictures will sync to dropbox and then right into the Google drive. You can set up the selective sync option to prevent everything but pictures from syncing that way.

I'm syncing data (Lecture Notes and PDFs) between my Note 10.1 and Note 2 using Folder Sync and a My Book Live. I've managed to get this operational with a test folder; however, before I get full bore and start functionally using this, I was wondering if anyone can advise how I can perhaps schedule daily backups of those items in case something goes screwy with the synchs?
TB, for example, I don't envision backing up my PDFs--just apps/data. I assume this would be the same for most other back up apps.
I thought about creating another Folder Sync but this time not enable the "delete" option?
Dunno.... Thoughts?
Maybe use Samsung account and Dropbox to sync everything.
P.S. I am not sure if its actually possible.

OK, here's one way to skin this cat:
- If you are syncing folders/data that DOESN'T contain .nomedia files, then you can use FolderSync and sync that folder, without overwrite option, only TO a folder on your server (i.e. My Book Live external HD) through FTP.
- If you are syncing folders/data that DOES contain .nomedia files (Lecture Notes), then you can sync the folder, without overwrite option only TO a folder on a share service--such as Dropbox--or you can send it to another folder on your phone.
In addition to Folder Sync, there's also a program called Ed's Backup Utility that is another way to send folder to external HD over wifi.
Foldersync lite
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.tacit.android.foldersync.lite
You can sync to the cloud of your choice.
Fyi- box is giving 50 gig free sign up right now. Limit of 250 meg per file though.
I use this to back up the folders of my choice and the titanium backup folder for apps

"For Dell Advantage Loyalty Program members"
Does that mean I have to be a member?
Does anyone know a way to have Dropbox synced with your Samsung account without using internal memory. I like being able to select gallery and see the Dropbox pics there instead of having to go to the Dropbox app everytime. When I look on my S4 gallery, all of my Dropbox pics are shown. When you go to storage on the Note, gigabytes of data are taken up by the Cloud. Please help if anyone knows!!

go into settings-->cloud--> and the 2nd row, make sure pictures and videos are completely disabled
on my s4, it would actually download them off the cloud and delete them....
i freaked out that my files were missing from the cloud and figured out that was the case
