SugarSync 5GB Cloud Storage (dropbox killer) - Motorola Droid X2

SugarSync is the best syncronization solution i've tested so far
some of the features that attracted me mostly
- 5GB of free space (+ 500MB)
- sync the files between all the computers and devices
- music streaming
- photo sharing
- etc. (Also, as long as you keep getting referrals, you keep getting 500mb+)!
If you register through my referral link you'll get an additional 500MB (I also get)

The switch is worth it. It is much more user friendly and has extra features compared to dropbox.

Have fun!!

Damn, I just set up an account literally right before I logged in to see this.

Looks really cool, but without a native app for Linux I'm going to pass. That's one thing that keeps Dropbox ahead of the game. I sent a request for supporting Linux, let's see what happens.

An issue I'm having as well, computer runs Fedora so I'm stuck with web app or nothing. I chose nothing.

So not trying to sound stupid, just wondering if it would work in WINE ok. Or would it spew out tons of errors trying to use it?

I understand, but if you emailed them, they should be quick in your response, i just emailed them about Symbian and they responded in less than 2 hours. Got to give them props to that. I'm sure however, that they are working on Linux, several other people have emailed them about this situation in the past.

I joined for your sake but will prbably wait until they fix the issues with Android. From what I have read it appears it is a battery hog and files don't sync 100% of the time. But hey, I got you another 500mb....

also signed up. Thanks!

Might sign up ;(

I have used Sugar Sync for awhile now and find it rather nice. I have not noticed any battery or sync issues on my end. Also, with the Cloud Save extension for Google Chrome it's really easy to get files on your phone if Chrome to Phone is giving you problems. I am somewhat surprised that Google has not jumped on the cloud storage train yet (other than Music Beta).

I like it! I already got another 750mb free by doing their little "getting started" tasks.

Seems nice, I really like being able to sync/download a single folder at once, unlike Dropbox, which is 1 file at a time. The "getting started" stuff never worked for me kept telling me to do it again so I just left it alone

are you able to send link of a file with sugarsync?

Or if you don't like the OP you can use the link in my sig. JK OP...don't take it seriously. The good thing about Sugarsync is you can get up to an extra 10GB. I think I am up to a total of 11GB right now, which is real cool for keeping files synced between my laptop, Asus Transformer and Evo 3D. The bad thing about it is they don't have native Linux support, but a third party is building a Linux client. It is in Alpha stage now and you can get more info here: http://mwillis.co.uk/projects/sugarsync-linux-client/
I've been trying this for a while but can't decide which I like better.
I have carbonite already for full backup.
I've used dropbox forever and my wife actually likes it because it a folder in the my documents folder so she can just go in and out of there for shared files.
If I wanted to use sugarsync for full backup, it would cost alot more than carbonite so I'm just not sure if its worth the switch unless there are other features I'm missing.

I'm thinking so too. It's a nice setup but I think the size is the issue for me.
I'll keep playing with it though...I like the idea of putting sync and backup together but just not sure if it fits my particular needs. Nice program...
thanks op, my dropbox just maxxed out...enjoy the extra 500mb.i know i will...just need that native linux client. until then wine will do.
thanks again.
I don't know about sugar sync, haven't used it in a while (year maybe) but I remember it not working well when I tried it. I use dropbox religiously and couldn't live without it. Seems like sugarsync keps crashing on me and not syncing properly. Maybe it's been fixed and I should give it another go. My dropbox is almost full...
Does sugarsync have the option of using revision history? Can you go back a few days and grab an older version of a document you changed?

Or maybe it thinks the TP is running FB from the legit webOS app
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
You don't believe me?
Ever think its because every other platforms FB app has been recently updated..and WebOS has not?
Facebook now requires a GPS connection, hence why almost all mobile FB apps give a rough location now when you post
OK.. Next question.
About that SIM Card slot...
Antenna? SIM Card? SD? Identifier? What IS that?
What exactly is that? Can you take it out? Can you insert something into it? Can you use it in some way?
If not...why would they include it...? It must be useful in some way...
That's odd...
its the sim card slot for the 4g models. on all other models its a dummy with the serial number
and there is NO sim card hardware if you have a dummy slug, teardown confirmed
but it DOES have the pins and chipset to wire one in but that would require a meta-doctor of the 4G doctor for drivers (webOS), but then CM7 would not work
Would have loved to have had an SD slot.
that would have been nice for the 16GB users, but im sure there will be a much easier method for OTG with a flash drive/sd card reader in the near future

Facebook no longer does that for iPhones, Androids or anything else. It'll simple say via mobile, if anything.
Maybe Facebook is buying WebOS?

Read this http://www.precentral.net/how-webos-facebook-app-made-jobs-yell-zuckerberg to understand why facebook for webos isn't as consistant as official facebook app interfaces.
Regarding the via mobile message, like others said, it was updated for ios and android devices. It still says Blackberry, Windows Phone, etc for other platforms.
You can put your conspiracy theory to rest.
Okay.
Is anyone getting that Wifi and Sound problem from time to time?
Every now and then, the sound will become rattly. It just happens.
And every now and then, the WiFi will just stop working. And you have to reset it.
It's happening increasingly often..is it just me?
Noticing the WiFi issue for sure. Never happened before 3.4.
Um, in Android. What's with Facebook not working?
I see people with the icon on their homescreens. But... Why if it doesn't work.
It shuts down repeatedly.
I never really looked into this issue since I browse the facebook website rather than using the app but I did skim over this issue. I believe it crashes because it's trying to pull your location and the touchpad has no GPS. Solution is to fake it. I think there's a fake gps app on the market to fix this.
As to why people have the facebook app. 2 functions. Contact syncing and ability to share photos via facebook app.
comment just disappeared
What is the cause of the HP TouchPad's bulkiness? If you tap the back of your TouchPad with your fingernails, it sounds hallow- do you think they'd be able to issue out new backings that would make the TouchPad half as thick?
Another thing is, you can scroll through card view left and right, but why not up and down?
Ever notice in webOS, when you're interacting with card view and you tap to bring the card up and it's blurry for a moment- why does that happen?
Odd...

Oh yes dude, Google is stealing your soul. Don't think for a second a free operating system, free email, free map service.. That it's all really free. They track yer every move, whether you like it or not. Whether you opened maps or not, it's tracking you. And then Google's relationship with the government.. Big government + big companies = tyranny son. And to the post that will invariably Come after mine, claiming I'm a crack pot wing nut: where'd you get your education? The government? Grow up in the public school system? Imagine that.
Get Greenify, and hibernate Google maps to solve this problem you have brought up. I use Gemini app manager plus Greenify to stop Maps entirely.

[Q] Methods for streaming video from my PC remotely?

Many of the suggestions I've ran across so far were for local wifi streaming. Im looking to be able to watch something stored on my pc with my N4 away from home via mobile network. I have an unthrottled data plan, so nothing is overkill.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Any ideas?

Ok I figured it out, and feel silly that it was under my nose this whole time. I hate when people figure out a problem without sharing the solution so I'll share for anybody with the same question in the future.
1. Download the Plex server (Plex for connected TVs and streaming devices): https://www.plex.tv/downloads
2. Invest $4.99 (well worth it) into the Plex app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.plexapp.android
3. Setup the Plex server on your computer and enable the myPlex server. (see attachment)
Your app should discover your computer as if you're connected on the same network.

I never implied that you weren't going to share it, so my apologies if my wording seemed directed at you. My "not sharing" comment was directed to people that fix a problem they have without sharing a solution after the fact. By all means, I'd love to hear your method!
Other methods I ran across were a bit wonky. Plex offers the ability to change the bitrate of the videos I'm streaming, which was a major plus for me. The five bucks was well worth it. (having a gift card balance left over didn't hurt either.)

Question Fake Explorer

Greetings and salutations my fellow developers. I come to you today with what is a tremendous thorn in my side. I am running a debloated win 10 enterprise with an AMD Ryzen 3 processor with integrated grapics. Looking at my task manager one day I noticed a program named explorer.exe that wasn't really that. I used all the anti-virus Anti-Malware programs I know. Nothing. So then I web searched and found hope. Alas, even the specific problem solving procedures didn't work. Even reinstalling windows, after a few wipes from Gparted did nada. Registry check , Sheila, eset, all nothing. Everytime I launch a program or do a restart, there it is. It's effecting everything. I've even wiped my 5tb external and lost a LOT. Nope, still there. Here's the thing: it shows up in the themes folder Everytime. If I delete that folder, we'll, bad. But I can't count how many times I've scanned my whole PC. Ugh. Please help, I use my computer for music production and I'm very stressed about this. Any thoughts? Thanks again my friends, I trust you all.
How about some linux CD to boot and then scanning it?
https://www.lifewire.com/free-bootable-antivirus-tools-2625785
But I am not up to date which one to use (before I switched to linux I used usually Kaspersky)... Also sysinternal could be helpful in investigating:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/sysinternals-suite
PS: Did you ever scan that particular program/file in virustotal? Perhaps it is supposed to be like that I mean how to do you conclude it's bad?

Cool. I'll give that a try. So Kaspersky has a linux variant?
I have Ubuntu installed in wsl. Not sure if I can somehow align the planets and do it from there.
Well, basically you just burn an ISO onto a CD (thus you can be sure it's unchanged) and then boot it and scan your machine. And (at least back then) Kaspersky came with a nice big list of virus signatures.
Just so I know. What's virus total? And I'm positive it shouldn't be there. Everytime I open an executable, it creates an exact replica of it from whatever folder I launch it in. Only difference is its an exe.tmp. I'll try your advice when I reach home and let you know what I come up with. Humblest thanks..
VT is basically all scanners in one:

Whoa, good news! Glad to hear that!
I'd still wonder about the source of your troubles. Have you been able to find any pointers (logfile)? For example, those tools like kaspersky put such nasty files in a special folder (aka quarantine) for further inspection...
Well what I did was completly scan every file one each drive. It seems I downloaded an infected third party theme. Hence, the reason why it chose there to populate. Honestly I've never dealt with viruses so it scared me. I didn't pay attention to that but I have a laptop that it somehow jumped to. Once I do that one I'll attach photos.
Hi, glad you sorted this. After reading your 1st post, I had a thought it might be a win 11 update, that had got blocked somehow and kept duplicating itself.
Thankfully it was just a virus. Win 11 would have caused you far more pain with far more serious damage
