I'm looking for an easy way to grab files on my phone for work (i.e. agendas for meetings, etc.). I could go the route of saving it to an email but wanted to find out what people thought of using Google Drive or Dropbox on the GN2? Any good or bad experiences or suggestions?
Thanks ahead of time.
I like drop box bc I can use other apps for productivity than google docs

Evernote
I can't pass up an opportunity to endorse Evernote. I use it constantly both for file storage and note taking. However, it should be noted that the maximum individual file size is 100MB which I presume could be a problem in some contexts.
I am using dropbox, coz when I activate my N2 with dropbox. It give me 48G storage for 2 yrs free
I used to love Google Drive. But since for some reason Drive thinks I'm full when I'm not and won't let me upload anymore, I've switched and have been happy with DropBox. Stupid Drive.
I prefer Dropbox for its access from other apps and the 48gb free really helped.

Instead of buying a microsd I was thinking of giving cloud storage a try.. who uses it abd whats the best one to use??

Both drop box and CX have apps available in the play store. Drop box gives you 2 GB free storage but CX gives you 10 GB. MediaFire gives you 50 GB but has no android app. (Apparently a MediaFire app is under development). The one thing to say about all of them is that upload/download speeds are less than desirable......

What if one day you will no longer use a Samsung phone? SD is a must, cloud storage (any) is just an available options that eventually forces you to (extensively) use data and to give away you privacy - of course there will be others who will swear by it and unfortunately Samsung is the only manufacturer still making phones with external SD support. Anyway, consider these 2 arguments and make your educated choice.
I keep everything on an SD card AND backed up to Dropbox. In the past I've lost an SD card when it fell out of my hand and into a friends front porch with no possible way to retrieve it. I would have lost everything if I didn't have my Dropbox backup.
Box is running a 50gb free for life deal. doesn't auto sync. Just download foldersync and you are set.

Okay so it seems that jelly been doesn't allow us to Intel apps to the SD card anymore.. Okay fair enough, stood move by Google but I doubt there's anything we can do about that. My question: how can I get my phone to save other data to my external SD?
What I ultimately want is to be able to save downloads (ROMs), nandroid backups, and if possible, move extra files needed for games and cached music (I have 2gb of data from Google play music of cached music. Deleting this every few days when I go through a few hundred songs to clear space is frustrating). Does anyone know of a way that I can make any of these things happen?

Search XDA - there are thread(s) how to change Google Music storage to exSD card.
Thanks gentlemen. Using tapatalk at work so search doesn't work terribly well. Probably should have just used website search tool. Still not sure about game data, nandroid storage, etc., but I'll try to keep looking on my own. Thanks

Found something that works for music, buy I don't think it will work for other apps and I don't think binding the directories will persist through a data wipe or ROM installation. I was just curious if this was a possibility and it seems that it is not.. I guess SD cards are becoming useless.

Hi folks,
I would like to invite your suggestions on what backup apps you are using which have the ability to export/import full backup on cloud without using PC in the process.
I am on 4.2.1 stock and rooted. I just don't want to store the backup on phone itself(not too much storage on nexus anyway).
Thanks for taking the time to read the post!

Titanium backup. Awesome tool, will backup all apps and data on any schedule you like, or just manually, then sync to the cloud storage of your choice.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Agreed. I use Titanium and sync it to my DropBox, all automatically on schedule
Titanium is great for sure. Although I am now using Koush's new backup app, Carbon. It is boss!
I just signup for Box and they gave me 50gig free

Super backup
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Xparent Blue Tapatalk 2
Also using titanium pro for my backups.
Titanium Backup, then it can syncs to Box.com/Dropbox/GoogleDrive.
But I just change the folder of Titanium to the actual titanium folder on the sdcard and transfer it to my PC.. upload on my ISP is slow and would take forever..
Been using Carbon for backing up data and super backup for sms/call log backups. I love Carbon, back-up to Dropbox and Google Drive is pretty slick.
And with super backup, I always have the file emailed to my gmail for safe keeps.
Carbon. It's fast and let's you auto sync backups across multiple devices.

I have been using tb pro for ages but I had noticed some inconvenience when restoring backup up apps taken from another rom...
any one else experienced the same ?
Back up alternative
Hi there,
I use an online back up service. The one I use has an appfor mobile devices. If you would like the link drop me an email and I will send it for you.
Hope this helps.
Just started using Carbon and as a former Titanium backup user I'm quite impressed.

Seems like carbon is getting popular. I would give it a try as well.

I use carbon and sync it to my box account. You get 50gb storage on there for having an lg device
When you guys say carbon syncs between devices can you explain how exactly? Do I have to hit a sync button then it syncs between? Is it automatic for certain apps you specify?
I use data sync to do this auto, but it's a beta and occasionally has issues.
I do it manually. I've heard there's a way to do it automatically but I haven't discovered it yet

Carbon w/ Dropbox is working great for me. Saved me from hours of reconfiguring after a bad install got me bootlooped.

DataSync
I don't understand why carbon is getting so much attention?? DataSync has been around much longer and is much better than carbon. Carbon only has its use for those who don't want rooted devices. DataSync automatically syncs your data from apps/games every time you start/close that app or game. You can use it with box, dropbox, ftp, drive (in a week or so), wifi, bluetooth. It does everything Carbon does but better and automatically. You set up a list of apps you want synced or backed up and it backs everything up every time you have used an app on that list.
The new alpha release is very stable and works great! U can get it here.

DataSync. Titanium did not work for some reason, so I searched for alternatives. The paid version is capable of auto backing up and syncing to other devices. But since I don't have more than one Android device in use, I don't need that and can live with dropbox backups.
Hi guys I just felt that I had to share this online server with my friends in the SGSII community.
Copy is similar to Dropbox, Box etc. It's another online file storage system. However, it has a much cleaner UI and it's holo!
You start off with 5 gigs and then each successful referral will give you an additional 5 gigs (isn't that great :cyclops: )
And you don't have any restriction limits of the upload size
Here's my link: https://copy.com?r=rgYAdy
And you can use this server from your phone from HERE and you can use it even on your Windows from HERE
If you use it, both of us will get an extra 5 gigs. Thanks! :good:
Used your link looks good. Anybody in the community feel free to use my link too would greatly appreciate it

So I'm Looking for an App that will synch a folder and all contents with either Google Drive or Skydrive. Yes, I know Dropbox does this, but dropbox online storage is not an option.
I've heard that Titanium Media Sync does this, but it only supports Dropbox.
Any other suggestions?
Try FolderSync. I use it to sync stuff directly with my computer over Wi-Fi using a share but it can connect with many online services too. I'm fairly sure Google Drive is included, but don't have it installed right now to test. The app lists Google Docs so I'd guess it would work. There is a free lite version you can use to test your use-cases.
