Anyone else notice that their cloud agent is taking up a lot of space in their internal storage space? I have a lot of photo backup to dropbox. I know this sync the photo from dropbox to your phone, is there any ways to disable this feature but still keep dropbox running?
Open dropbox app,Go into setting and see how much your cache is.... try clearing..

Settings_cloud_pictures_turn off sync, videos_turn off sync. This will stop them from syncing. If it doesnt delete them then settings_storage_ miscellaneous files_delete cloud agent
Thanks, was able to clear up 3GB. Overlook the cloud option in the system menu
Should this action delete the cloudagent folder in storage, or do you think I have to manually do that from the storage settings?

I deleted my cloud agent folder in storage. No issues with doing that and it's quicker!

My Dropbox cache was 1 MB.
My cloudagent file is 1GB.
Any other ideas?
contacts in cloud?
Does cloud agent contain things like contacts?
So it does nog delete anything you dont want?
Its just like a cache then, that cloud agent service?

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.

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.
FolderSync:- https://play.google.com/store/apps/...d.foldersync.lite&feature=more_from_developer
Dropin:- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ondraz.dropin

Hope these information will be useful!
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 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.

Anyone know what this is and if it can be moved or deleted? On my device it's like 4.98GB of internal storage!

If you refer to the "Cloud" setting and cloud agent (which on whatever firmware my device originally came with, crashed if you had sync with Dropbox enabled; I have not tried on newer stock firmware or custom ROMs).
It's related to your Samsung account sync. Part of its UI is an alias to your Samsung account sync settings. It also has some form of sync with Dropbox - I believe it is the same as with Samsung Link / AllShare Play, auto upload to Dropbox for your pictures/videos; similar to Dropbox and G+'s own feature. I'm not familiar with how it's implemented inside.
You probably should not uninstall any cloud agent APK's unless you've basically ripped every bloody Samsung specific thing off, and even then you should check what's safe (there should be a thread somewhere by now). Clearing data on it is probably okay but cleanup and setup may be necessary after, depending on how much you use your Samsung account.
if you use nether Samsung nor Dropbox accounts, it's useless.
I just deleted the directory. Used Dropbox a few times and have not noticed it recreating the directory. Before deleting it I did see it had a copy of my Dropbox folder making a service like Dropbox useless if it caches everything to the device like on a PC.

Like most Samsung features, I'm sure there is someone out there that actually has use for it. Most people on XDA likely have 0 use for everything Samsung puts in because either they don't use it or they already have an app for it.
I found this idiotic thing on an Android 4.2.2 Samsung flavor. Indeed, after you define your Dropbox account it starts taking down your pictures and doesn't stop until it finishes them all and crowds your device with them.
This "feature" can be officially disabled in: Settings-Cloud-Pictures / Videos / Documents. You need to untick one by one sync option.
There's an option while setting the device from factory reset to allow or not the Samsung device to access all your dropbox info: select no.

i had a major issue with this..because it was downloading my dropbox files to my internalSD AND deleting it from the dropbox cloud
freaked me out
i ended up disabling sync in settings
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
