Apparently for beta testing the new dropbox app, they will give you up to 5gb (500mb for the first photo and an extra 500mb for every 500mb of photos and videos uploaded thereafter)
I haven't tested to see if it works or not yet, only just saw the thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1479095

what works best to share files, i got some custom themes i made and want to share
You can post a link with your dropbox, or upload to megadownload or something of the like.
Most people use dropbox or mediafire
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Dropbox for small files, in the hold down on the item(apk, song, etc) and press share And copy a link then you should have a link the you can post for anyone to download it
If you don't have an Evo3d well you don't have an Evo3d
For the love of god don't use megaupload or similar. There are so many free alternatives out there. Megaupload and similar are annoying.
+1 for dropbox. Not sure what their data policy is, but as already noted for small files it is great, and easy, and convenient.
I'm not sure why i haven't seen anyone using it yet, but www.ge.tt is great for transferring large files (up to 2 GB) for free. Again, haven't read anything about their data policy, but their TOS doesn't specifiable call anything out. Best part about that service is you are given a link that is active as soon as you START the upload. People can start pulling it down as soon as you click upload. Really neat option.
Just my $0.02
Here is what I use now

You get free 5GB of space and its better than Dropbox in my opinion. Have fun.
edit: Please if you sign up for this 5gb of free storage, please use my referral or click the thanks.. either will do.
Wow 5gb that's awesome, I got a mediafire account and only got 250mb.

Dropbox is the most preferred option.
I personally use Box as it gave me lifetime 50GB storage, it runs sweet on my SGS2 & I use it every day. The only 1 issue I have is the upload limit, so it can take a few minutes to upload large files. But that is something I can happily live with, or I can upgrade for a few pounds & then the limits are removed. So my point is use whatever you feel suits you best, not somebody else

Box as they give me 50gb lifetime storage. They do limit upload speeds & file sizes but if you pay for upgrade the limits are removed. Its very cheap too considering what you get for your pound notes

Hand down Dropbox because I can sync it with titanium backup ADIE and my computer.
I only have 10GB on Dropbox, but more and more app are adding Dropbox interrogation and right now that's more useful then 45gb of space I have nothing to do with.

There's Box integration in TiBu now, by the way.
I would say dropbox is the more popular one out of the 2.
Here is a guide to help you get more space out of dropbox http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1520930
I use Dropbox because I can run it on Windows, GNU/Linux and my cellphone. Not sure if the other app mentioned in the OP can do that, but Dropbox does with without much of a problem..
I like DropBox for the seamless synchronization - I always know that I am working on the latest version of a file without having to manually download it. At least the way that I have things set up, Dropbox feels a lot more like an extension of my existing storage rather than a separate storage space.
I tried box some time ago, but i found the maximum file size very annoying. None of that with dropbox.

I started using Box since the free 50GB promo. Titanium allows you to backup with box so now I can have all my apps backed up and still have plenty of space left.

Give Dropsync a try - truly makes dropbox as seamless on mobile as it is on the desktop.
I personally use both. I use Box to keep a backup of, like, everything. I use Dropbox for sharing files since it's so easy. Share a link, person clicks on link, file automatically downloads.
I prefer Dropbox. The only reason is that there is upload limit and bandwidth limit in box.
Above all, I would rather prefer minus which gives upto 50 GB extended space with no upload and bandwidth limits!

How many apps do you have? There's a few gigs reserved for apps, isn't there?
Try clearing the Market's data in the manage apps menu, and try again. If that doesn't work, uninstall the apps you don't use!

I found a solution and made a thread here. I haven't tested it on our device yet but I believe it should work.
It looks promising though and it does address these issues.
You can go into settings>apps, and move some of the apps (internal storage), to phone storage (sd1 10gb). Basically I have around 12 GB to work with if I move stuff around.

How do we register? Was there paperwork in the box? Aorry my box is miles away from me right now.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA
Open the app and sign in/register (as far as I can remember you need to register a new account). Wait for an email to arrive and there is a link saying something along the lines of "Get extra space free". Follow enough steps in there and you're good to go.
PS: Forgot to mention before Dropbox admit they have a limit of 16Gb at the moment unless you pay for an account
Don't need a new account. I have done it with my old one. Just use the app on the phone
worked on mine, i followed the instruction stated:
Take the Dropbox tour Complete!
Install Dropbox on your computer Complete!
Put files in your Dropbox folder Complete!
Invite some friends to join Dropbox Complete!
Install Dropbox on your mobile device Complete!
if you do this you'll see that your space will be updated to 48GB

I didn't do the install Dropbox on your computer and install Dropbox on other computers you use
Ok can someone explain to me this. So we get the 48 gig for 24 months, does this means after 24 months we have to pay or else losing the file we uploaded?
Thanks,
Drew
I am almost certain the 2 year limit will work like most other similar services, after the two years they won't delete your items you just won't be able to upload anything else until your back below your limit.

Sweet! Didnt even read about this, was out of the country detached from the world for 7months so soon as i landed i just looked for the highest specs phone and thought XDA would do the rest for me.
Is the info/paper work in the box?
I got a confirmation e-mail about my free 50GB of Dropbox storage a few seconds after logging into the app on my S III.
This takes my free Dropbox account up to 105GB in total! (previously got 50GB of extra storage by logging into Dropbox app from a Sense 4.0 ROM on my HTC Sensation).
To trigger the free space you just need to log in and upload something from your phone.

I restored my z2 and it deleted them, also all the songs and videos that were originally on the phone. I've tried everything to recover them, But i was hoping someone here would be nice enough to zip up all the photos and videos and songs to a site so i can download them again. it shouldnt be that big of a size.

yes, agreed. was about to reply with this. I'm sure down the line someone will want them as well so it'd be best to upload all of the files at once. you can use the free program 7zip to zip them up
