Uploading files

Is it possible to upload files straight from phone to site? If so explain how please, tried advanced options for ' quick reply', but couldn't get past choose file screen. I have two leaked Galaxy S 2 lwp that are pretty cool. Windmills and beach that change with time of day and weather.

Try using dropbox that's how I do it at least. It will let you upload pretty much whatever. You can get it in the market free!

I agree, Dropbox is great. I've been thinking of upgrading to a paid account when I get a little more money saved (I just went on an app buying/dev donation spree, so definitely over my online quota right now). I just found out the hard way that there's a 10 gig/day bandwidth limit for public links, but it's definitely a great site.
If you're talking about on xda, I haven't found a way to do it yet. Even with the user agent set to desktop, it won't work. I think this is because it doesn't integrate Android file explorers. You can always use Dropbox or another hosting site and link others to the file. With Dropbox, I just use the mobile app. Once you've uploaded whatever you want to share to your "Public" folder, long press the item, choose share, and then "copy a link". This will result in a direct download, which I prefer over other sites.
If you want extra space, sign up with my referral here:

EDIT: First link was wrong, so I fixed it. I believe you have to install Dropbox as well to get the extra space.

Thanks for your help...uploaded both live wp in the Themes and Apps section.

Hello scribbclubber,
You can just change the store from mauritius to any other store France ,USA.. And create an account to the new store and install any application you want.

too bad i have to upload them before i can view it. Why cant they just let us view pdf's/books from my phone.

This is a great addition, thanks for the heads up

In case it hasn't been noted by anyone yet, you can add PDF files to your library straight from Drive.

This way you don't have to copy the exact same file to all devices. This approach makes more sense to me actually.

Use this link on a browser to upload files to Google Books: https://play.google.com/books/uploads

FYI
For your information, you can upload the books via VPN to the upload books area, and they will still be synched to devices, even without VPN .
I just tested to connect to play store via UK, and it worked (my N4 then uses my mobile connection in HK, and they synched fine)
Hope that helps

Use a VPN to connect to US or UK. UK worked for me.
Also, I don't want to complain, mate, but the answer to your question is litteraly one post above yours... Really could take the time to read a little?

Can a US based person to help me sideload an app?

I just picked up a Staples Connect Hub to try out some home automation, but I can't use it without the app and discovered that the Play store will not let me download the app because I am Canadian. Would a helpful person out there mind downloading the "Staples Connect" apk and hosting it somewhere so I can get it? Much appreciated.
"ID" of the app on Google Play (unable to post a link since I have less than 10 posts, sorry):
