How to copy any file to your WP7 device

My problem was to copy a pdf-file to my phone and after some research, I figured out that the only way to do this, is to email me this file. I think this is pretty awkward and I found an easier way to do this.
If you have a dropbox-account just move the file to your dropbox-folder on your pc, then install a dropbox-client on your phone. now you can access every file that's in the dropbox-folder from your phone... problem solved
If you're new to dropbox, I would appreciate it if you use my refferal-link so that both of us get 250MB extra free space.
Here's my referral-link: http://db.tt/OV3ERGB

Why not just use your free Skydrive? That's what I do, then navigate to your Skydrive on your phone (pin the link to your start screen for ease) and click the file's icon and it will download to your phone.
No need to use dropbox at all.

I use dropbox too.
I think it easier because it has a Dropbox client for PC and WP7 (with app "Boxfiles for dropbox"), no need to create internet shortcut on my phone.

Why not Skydrive? Because it doesn't work half as well with either Windows or Windows Phone.
Unlike Dropbox, I can't just map my cloud storage to a folder easily on my PC.
And on my phone it doesn't let me download some files (funnily, Microsoft Office files). It shows presentations as web docs and there's no download link in default mobile view. I need to switch to desktop view which is unbearably slow.
This is plain ridiculous.

this is being fixed in the mango update.
I don't transfer many files to my phone so its not an issue for me but I can see the frustration for some.

I have videos on my dropbox, and BEFORE NoDo they worked, now they don't work.. tells me invalid format or times out (These would be WMV and 3GP) is it just me?

Where is the skydrive app or link on the phone.. cant find on my DVP.

At least things will get better with time. More premium apps are showing up in marketplace.

Is There An Official Dropbox App for WP?

Looking through the online WPM I don't see one. My mistake? Or any word from the Dropbox team?
(Yes. I know. Skydrive. No, I don't have a WP right now to search myself. Nokia refuses to give me a 900. I dearly, dearly want a 900.)

No, there isn't one yet.

I have downloaded and sideloaded the App called "Kickbox"
Its been reviewed on wmpoweruser.com and if i may say so its a very sweet app!

costs €3.99
You can do anything on the app like you can on dropbox.com.

600 MB additional free storage
Hi all
Just found a smart way to increase your Dropbox account with 600 MB:
1 Sign into your existing Dropbox account (or create a new account)
2 Goto https://www.dropbox.com/free
3 Follow instructions ... and voila 600 MB additional free storage

The only thing i use dropbox for on my phone is my ereader. Since i use Freda, it has dropbox support built right in. no client needed.
Since files on windows phone are sandboxed... is there really a need for a dropbox only app? Just curious what you all are doing with the apps.

[Q] What cloud file storage service do you use?

Most of us would probably use DropBox or Box ... But, I am looking for cloud file storage service which have the features below:
1. It has a free type account (like starter account with limited space)
2. It can share a folder to public with password protection
Is there anything like that?
DropBox can share files or folders to public but it does not support password protection.
Why I need this feature?
I want to share some semi-private files, like photos and videos to only several people who do NOT always have DropBox account.
So, I am wondering if there is such service.
Thanks.

MEGAUPLOAD........ wait~
lmao! have you thought about IDrive or SugarSync?? Im not sure they support password protected files though,, then again you could always drop them in the public folder and zip them up password protecty stylie! then dish out the password to certain folks

I use SkyDrive for this...you can set certain access to certain people and they don't need to be a member of skydrive

Google+ with private circles?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

I thought SugarSync or maybe SpiderOak allowed this - may be wrong though...

I use Sugarsync (paid account), Box.net (50gb free because I own an HP Touchpad) and Dropbox (only because some apps will only sync to it for backup).
Sugarsync does offer sharing with password protection, and according to their comparison chart with the competition, box.net does too:
http://www.sugarsync.com/sync_comparison.html
I would suggest signing up for their free accounts and see if sharing with password protection is a free or premium only feature.
Good luck!

You can always put password-protected zip files in your public folder, right?

Yes, but the standard ZIP encryption isn't worth anything at all. WinRAR is a lot stronger (AES 128 bit) but you should really use PGP/TrueCrypt or the like if you want your data to stay private no matter what.

Google Docs.

This is interesting, how do you share securely using Google Docs?
As for using .zip / .rar passworded files, it is the workaround that I might use it. Although, I don't like zipping large video files!
Note that I am not planning to share illegal material, only some private videos that we made during parties. I could also share the Dropbox account password, but I am trying to find a better way.
Of course, I could just burn all the videos into DVD and send them via post But hey! It's now 2012, cloud service is here to use.

I've heard good things about Amazon cloud storage. 5gb Haven't tried it yet though cause I currently have 8gb through dropbox. Sucks that they won't allow more. Even with more referrals.

Even though the holidays have passed, we're really stoked to give you guys one more present -- a new experimental release! Under the wrapping you'll find a bunch of new toys, including a brand new Camera Upload feature. Here are the release notes:
• Automatically uploads photos and videos in the background using Wi-Fi or data plan
• 500MB of free space on first photo uploaded automatically

During this beta period, we are also offering additional free space to test automatic uploading of photos and videos. For every 500MB of photos and videos automatically uploaded, you'll receive another 500MB space bonus, up to 5GB total (including the initial 500MB space).
[Update: this space is not separate from 5GB given for uploading on our desktop clients. Uploading from either desktop clients or Android app will count towards the same 5GB free space.]

Notes:
Clients 1.3.5 and earlier had an auto-update bug. Please install this version so that your client will stay up to date!
The photo import feature is not available on Mac 10.4 and Linux.
For Android devices, it's best to use "Connect as Disk Drive". HTC Sync will not work.
To import from iPhone, make sure to unlock your phone and enter your passcode before importing, otherwise it will claim to find no photos.
If importing from your iPhone on Mac gives an import error, try hard resetting it--hold down the power and the home button for 5 seconds. This will reboot the phone; it shouldn't change your settings or delete data.
On Windows, this feature relies on Autoplay. Please enable Autoplay to use this feature if you have disabled it.
On XP and Vista, it relies on the Windows Image Acquisition Service. If this service is not started, please start the service and reinstall Dropbox to use this feature. On WIndows Server, you may have to install the Desktop Experience feature.
On Windows 7, newer devices that rely on Device Stage (in the Control Panel) will not show Dropbox as an import option until you select "Change Program" for the default.
The Galaxy Nexus takes a lot of time to connect on OS X because it likes to pretend that every image on the device is a photograph. We now estimate how long it's going to take and show you that in the progress bar but it's usually in the order of minutes. We're working to see if this can be improved.
As usual, we strongly recommend making a backup of your Dropbox before upgrading to this build as we'll need a few weeks to be certain of its stability. We will rapidly release new builds as necessary to snipe the most common issues as they arise."

Thansk mate. Using the latest version now. Hope to get some more free space...

Note that only auto upload gives you free space. Manual selecting files no matter how big they are even from camera folder will not give you bonus space.
Easily solved though. Turn on autoupload in dropbox client (its limited to 25mb per file for GSM uploads but can be changed to unlimited if you so desire and your plan covers it) and take some 3-5 minute videos with 1080p resolution. Those quickly fill requirements and can be deleted after.

Fastest way (tip i saw on g+) is to use beta desktop client provided in first post with those blank videos (you can put any avi or mp4 video on usb as well as long as it is in the dcim/camera foler and has not been uploaded to dropbox before and note 'renaming does not work') and use autorun dropbox import function.
must connect in mass storage mode or just plug microsd card ( usb reader and external hard drive does work as long as you keep proper folder structure dcim/camera). allow import to complete then in dropbox client 'pause syncing'. go to dropbox 'camera uploads' folder and delete files. again in dropbox client 'resume syncing' and thats it.
you just maxed 5GB without wasting all that time and bandwith!
note:you must have at least 4.5GB in pics and videos plus that one initial picture
another note: your maximum in pics and videos you want to import can not be greater than total dropbox ammount available to you or it will fail to sync properly. so best keep it around 5 just in case.

The free space is forever?
thanks for the apk

technically yes. well for as long as they are in business or they decide to take it away lol.

Awesome thanks for bringing this to xda....

it didn't add 5GB to my free space. And to many many other users (I checked other websites). So it is fake!

Just small correction and explanation on this.
You can put 5GB of videos right away because you initially have 2GB at least and as long as you have at least largest individual file size free in the account you'll be fine. Cause it will be auto bumped by 500MB increments.
My note in one of the posts above referred to people with for example 4gb free trying to sync 17gb i read somewhere.

Got my extra 5GB already. Swhueet. My only worry is if Dropbox catch on; which they will. What will they do about it? Could they track who has been given large amounts of space, but not made any real difference in space in their online accounts? Could easily take the space back off us.

@theos0o best known for modding Skype from sgs forum has found a way to patch dropbox client into thinking we have regular htc phone, giving us aditional 3gb free for a year here

Last chance to get 5GB. New beta just came out that takes effect today, that lowers 5GB to 3GB.
"Yo ho ho, and a bottle of code!
We wanted to say a special thanks to all of our early beta users! Thanks to your feedback, we have been able to find and fix a bunch of bugs.
Starting today, new users of Camera Upload will get 500 MB after their first successful import. Users can also receive up to a total of 3 GB additional free space for photos and videos automatically uploaded via the desktop or mobile apps.
Forum build users who tested Camera Upload before today, either on the desktop or Android, will keep any additional storage space they received for trying the beta version, and will still be able to earn up to 5 GB."

thanks for the info bro! im going to try the avi trick right now hopefully its not to late

@theos0o strikes again!
Now bringing 23GB free for 2 years. Deal with dropbox and new HTC devices.
