Free 50 gig storage from Box.com

Hey I stumbled across this piece of gold and had to share.
Box.com has a new promotion going on. You log into Box from ANY android device (tablet or phone) and your account (preexisting or new) is upgraded to 50gig.
For my buddies that have iPhone i just let them log in from my phone and bam!
"Congratulations, Your account has be upgraded to 50Gig"
The offer ends March 23 btw.
Please let me know if this post should be elsewhere.

Wish it had a free syncing option for the PC....

Agreed. That is definitely a weak point and is only part of a business/enterprise account.
If you download Box's SimpleShare (win and mac) you can just drag and drop files to your "Box". One cool thing is that when you drag a file into it the URL is copied to your clipboard so you can just paste it say on xda to share. Has video capture with auto upload too.
Also, I'm not sure how well it works but I've read on other posts that you can stream your music with ES File manager from your "Box".

do you have to log in from the app or browser?

Didn't get my 50 gigs. Oh well this would help with ROM hosting.

Yes...

...If you have a preexisting Box account and have already used a promotion of some sort then you will not get it. Just create a new account with box.net via the browser then log back in to the app or create a new account from within the app.
This should work for you. I don't know if there are any weird country restrictions...?

Logged out, tried my old accounts, bam, each upgraded to 50gig.

ROM hosting may be an issue due to the 100M file size upload limit.

Or if you already have Google Docs installed it just asks you to update and voilà, Google Drive.

It says google drive is not ready, and it will send me an email when it is.
Thanks op

Do you have to have google docs to have google drive?

No, I actually hadn't re-installed Google Docs but downloaded Google Drive directly from the market.

Also says that it is not ready...

Okay I see what you're talking about, my bad, I hadn't tried running it yet had just downloaded it from the market with no problems.

It may be that it is only open to a limited amount of people right now. It is working fine for me, just downloaded it today.

ive got it. i was asked to upgrade mine, which i never had installed atleast intentionally.

I installed today and it is working fine for me as well.

My phone must be having a schizo kind of day, it would seem my google drive is now accessible. lol

itll work for anyone, just open the browser and click the docs link, then it will say download the app, then after you download it will say your device not ready and then click notify me. now go back to browser and click docs again and google drive will open and be working fine.

Will google let us link our files to others?
The last time I used google docs was probably 3 years ago, files are still there I just don't access them anymore.
Google music- I mean, play music, is great in theory and terrible in practice. It lags and pauses repeatedly on the phone and apparently cannot be played in firefox while on xp, with certain isp's while missing certain obscure security patches that no one can point to.
I just can't see using Drive for anything meaningful. My wife has two companies she does work for and they either use their own database or dropbox.

Did you delete the Sprint proxies on your phone? Once I set mine to 0.0.0.0 streaming was much, much better with Google Music.

Not bad, i got a free lifetime 50gb from box.com so i dont see myself using this for the time being

How to share HD videos from GS3? Too big for email/mms?

Simple question, how are you sharing videos from your GS3? I can't email them as they are to big, can't mms them. So now what?
We made a small 11 second video, albeit 1080p - and it is about 25mb. Gmail limit is 10mb.
I'm guessing upload to a sharing service and share the link? Which I've never done. Can anyone help?
T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-T999 Tapatalk 2

I upload them all to YouTube but make them private and viewable only if given the link (so weirdos aren't watching videos of my niece or cousins and such) this allows them to be uploaded at full HD and a general site that most can access without issue.

I use dropsend but its limited. Use it to send files up to 2gb. But for smaller files or any other files, I use sugar sync. It's like drop box but with more features. Upload and just send a link to the file to anyone

I assume you are referring to S Beam. Having never used it yet, how long do you have to hold them together ? I mean, a playlist, couple of pictures, I'm sure that's a pretty quick transfer. But say a good size movie, around 100mb or so? Do they have to remain in close proximity or do they link somehow after that initial contact? Having never used it as I said, I'm just curious. Would love to hear from people who have.

I think the NFC just turns on Bluetooth for both devices and connects then sends. No need to hold them together.

Using S beam and a WiFi connection should take you no more than 2 minutes to transfer 200mb.
1) connect your devices to you WiFi.
2) turn on S beam on both.
3) locate the file to transfer.
4) bump the phones and wait for the beep.
5) tap the file and place the phones side by side as they don't need to be touching back.
6) bring the notification bar down and see how the file gets transfer.
I always use this method to transfer HD videos and lots of photos to my girls Note2. I think using WiFi makes the transfer faster than w/o.
This guy is transferring 200+ me video.

Have the phone automatically upload your videos Dropbox, then just send the link to whomever once the video is up.
One click if it is a known contact otherwise you have to enter their email.

I know this is a really old thread but incase it helps anyone, Android finally has a new app just to for this purpose. And its free
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-playbak-share-video-easy-t2987858

I use youtube set to private if it is for me or use mega.co.nz if I am giving the link out.

I will try playback, I've been using drop box.
Thanks for contributing, nice to see more current solutions to all problems!

App like snote that syncs

If this should be in questions, I apologize. Is anyone familiar with an app that would be very close to our snote (stylus capability) that would sync with Google.

What part of Google?
Show Some Love

Maybe sync to Google was the wrong way to put it. What I was thinking, was I noticed that when I flashed a new ROM, and brought up the S note app use, all of my old notes we're still there. For that I was very grateful because I forgot to backup the app.
I use a stylus a lot because I use it to draw up drills for soccer practice, to take notes on the sideline during matches in things to cover at half time, training session ideas for my clients , warm up ideas for class, and etc.

Still confused, what are you asking it to sync to? What part of Google? Calendar?

I'm sorry; my wording is off. My brain is fried after literally pulling an all nighter to finish my last projects and finals in my educational law and multimedia design classes.
Essentially I want something similar to the S note app where I can use my stylus and has cloud syncing/saving capabilities

Doesn't S-note already sync? I know ive flashed my rom several times (clean) and always my stuff is still there without any sort of restore from TiBu etc.. my guess is that it is syncing maybe to samsung? i know ive logged into my samsung acct as i set up the new rom... and each time everything is there in s-note.. so that would be my guess.. but regardless of who it is doing it with, i think s-note does what you are asking i think.. unless (as above) you are trying to sync it specific to something like google calendar or something

It does sync. However, I am thinking about flashing a ROM that does not have s note app. So I will need to find an alternative

gotcha.. at a loss then.. sorry dont know

evernote should work well as you make an account (and it autofills with your gmail address) and they sync across all devices (i have notes from 2009 lol) i dont know if theres much of a sketchpad type deal with it but i think you can draw if you set the note up right

Maybe if you bought a second device, otherwise I don't know. I guess you get it through your device serial number when the app comes preinstalled

The dropbox offer is only valid once per account.
I tried with my s3, note 10.1, and s4 but it only activated once.
The way I got around it is to create 5 dropbox accounts, and activated each to 50gb. (You need to clear app data between activations)
It expires after 2 years, but whatever is on there wont get deleted.
So I have one where I keep my clonezilla images (47gb), another where I keep all my drivers/firmwares (35gb), one where I keep my encrypted Titanium backups for all my devices (41gb), one for my music playlist (24gb) and another where I keep ebooks and audio books (32gb).
I use dropsync from playstore, and configure multiple profiles in titanium backup to manage backups and syncing between all the accounts.
good luck
If it aint broke, you haven't modded it enough

Where and how do i clear the app data?
Note that i'm not rooted.
Thanks in advance

Go to settings->general->application manager and click on the app of which the data you want to clear. And then select clear data and clear cache. Hope this helps.
