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...?

Hi there,
I am new to the forums but am wondering if anyone could help me in recovering recorded videos/photos.
My mom recently passed away from cancer and these video files are extremely important to me as it was her last words to me. Before unlocking and rooting my phone, I created a full backup through the Nexus Root toolkit program. However, in restoring the files, it only pushed back a fraction of the files I had on my phone.
Is there any way of restoring all my files or even just the photos and videos? I am completely distraught and I have tried all the data recovery programs for android but unfortunately none of the applications work as the Samsung Galaxy Nexus cannot mount an SD card.
If anyone could provide any input, it would be much appreciated.
My direct contact is: [email protected]
With sincerest regards,
Richard

That's rough. By chance did you have auto upload turned on? If so they should be present on your google account.
Do you still have the backup from the nexus toolkit? Can you explore it for the DCIM directory?

Thank you for such a quick response,
I do have auto upload turned on but I do not know where I can find the files on my google account. I did not see it in my google drive or docs. Should I be looking somewhere specific?

Google recuva. Downloads the program and run it through your device, assuming you haven't over written any files yet. It should recover a majority of the files. I can't count how many times it had saved me. Let us know what happened. Sorry to hear.

At the moment, I'm completely distraught but I'm planning on bringing it to a computer store to see if they would be able to recover the files. Although none of the methods mentioned above worked, I just want to thank all of you who have responded. I really do appreciate your input and am happy I joined this community.
Just wanted to give everyone a heads up and say that I was able to recover the deleted files by following this guide.

I wasn't sure where to post this so I hope this was the right place.
I took advantage of the free 50gb cloud storage from box and now I'm looking for an app that will do automatic backup of the phone (pictures, documents, ect..) straight to my box account. Something similar to google+ instant upload but to box.
Any ideas or apps that can do this?
Thanks in advance.

I will answer my own question for someone that is in the same boat. I did some googling and after a few different sites mentioning foldersync, I decided to give it a try. Works perfect and gives you many options. Also will sync to many different cloud services.
Currently I'm using the foldersync lite, but I might pay for the full soon.
If you use carbon you can back up to box

Good Morning.
Since yesterday I've noticed, that an app called "sCloudStarter" was installed automatically into user apps.
I can't uninstall it, and there is also a process running.
I can't find any information about this in the internet.
Is here someone, who knows what this app is or does?
Antivirus does also nothing find when I scan my phone.
It's annoying, when apps are installed automatically without knowledge of the user.
Do you think it's harmless or is it a bad virus app?
I did nothing change in my system before.
I also made a full wipe, and after configuring my device with the new fresh system, this sCloudstarter was installed again.
Please, hopefully someone can help me or can give me an answer about this.
it's a Samsung system app related to S-cloud. This is like Google drive. You ha ave to be root to uninstall it.

I'm rooted, but when I uninstall it, it is back in the next second.
It's not possible to delete it.
But I'm wondering, why it was installed automatically without any message?
That's bad from Samsung.
Do This -
I was frustrated with this annoying problem for hours before I did this - download an uninstaller that can identify an app named "Samsung Account" - followed by a long decimal number. Run it and delete Samsung Account first, then SCloudStarter, and hopefully that will work for you as it did for me.
Yeah there was a update which installs this app like a user app.

It's just the Samsung app.
The Samsung push service installed an app.

Like the other post said, you can use an app called Titanium Backup to freeze apps, and delete them. This one should be no exception. Freezing apps would be recommended first, as you can then see how the phone reacts when you disable an app. You can always delete later, but I still would recommend just freezing. Even with a 16 GB device, you won't gain that much space by deleting these apps that who knows if you may need later.
That works

If your phone is rooted, there is an app called TitaniumBackup in the Play Store. TitaniumBackup can freeze apps and the frozen app no longer runs on your phone or shows up in your app drawer. TitaniumBackup is the first app that in my opinion needs to be installed on a rooted phone. It's the best app that I've ever paid for, followed closely by Root Explorer.
It's also a good idea that before deleting an app you should ALWAYS have TitaniumBackup backup the app first. This way if your phone starts to act really weird, you can go into TB and restore the app.
It looks noxious
I had a look at the permissions for this in its App Info area,
...
* Your Personal Information
add or modify calendar events and send emails to guests without owner's knowledge, modify your contacts, read calendar events plus confidential information, read call log, read your contacts, read your Web bookmarks and history, write call log, write web bookmarks and history
...
OMG! It astually lists "send emails to guests without owner's knowledge" like that's nothing to be alarmed about! In fact, most of what is listed there is setting off alarm bells to me.

There is an app titles Titanium Backup that you can use with root. (highly recomended btw). This lets you uninstall bloatware, freeze apps (basically hides them and keeps them from running but keeps them on the phone), backup apps and data so if you have to reinstall or switch phones you can restore them without having to set them up again. Freezing also lets you stop the app which makes you provision and pay extra to tether your phone so you can activate it without paying extra.
It is a must have app imho for rooted users and I highly recomend the pro version. (you can only freeze with pro)

I've had this issue as well, note 2 and 8 are supposed to sync the notes but it doesn't work well. Instead I get blank notes in one or the other and if I delete the blank then the good copy will disappear from the other device.
My solution was to ditch s note. I now use lecture notes along with drop sync to handle the actual cloud syncing. Works a treat, no more lost notes. Sort it out Samsung, small independent developers are doing a better job than you.
