Hi all, not sure if this is the right forum for such a topic, please let me know if this should go elsewhere.
Microsoft's SkyDrive offers 25GB of free cloud storage and has recently combined it with their Live! services (MSN, etc). Would it be possible to get a WinMo App that allows for uploading/downloading of files via SkyDrive? The official Microsoft Windows Live! client doesn't do this, it's basically an MSN client.
The app I had in mind would be along the likes of DroppedBoxx which works on DropBox, or EverNote. The benefit would be that SkyDrive is 25GB storage, FREE, without restrictions. I believe this is much more than DropBox (2GB free) and EverNote (500MB upload monthly free) offer.
If anyone has any program or any link that could guide me in the direction of a Sky Drive app, that would be great.
Thanks!
That is a fantastic idea since it integrates well into the Windows Live ecosystem.
I just wanted to add that Microsoft's up and coming Live Sync (also free) is much more similar to DropBox than SkyDrive.
EDIT: Live Sync was formerly known as Live Mesh
bump in case anyone has any leads.
I agree, good idea!

Fantastic idea, you should suggest it to microsoft.
[sarcasim] Any coment you like, just put it here. [/sarcasim]
bump.
I totally support that idea, it's a great service and having an app for this would be great, I wonder why microsoft haven't included this in Windows Live Mobile
Fantastic i'm new here and was looking for WinMo App that allows for uploading -downloading of files via SkyDrive
bump for visibility, anyone??
You can upload the files to MyPhone, then transfer them to your linked Skydrive account (then delete them from MyPhone to preserve the limited space).
Here's the deal with the way I share photos. I don't do social media, I don't have "walls" anywhere. I show pictures to my wife and folks and they send pictures to me. But doing this via email the way we do now is cumbersome. Snap...open email...attach...no not that one, the other one...delete...attach...add email addresses... etc etc etc. And that's not even addressing the issue of file size limitations.
I need something super simple that allows sharing of 1-4 pictures quickly after taking them without having to manage a whole social media app in the process. Does something like this even exist or am I not a market that anyone cares to create an app for because my photo use can't be monetized by a marketing manager?
Thanks guys! Any app suggestions would be great. If it could work across Blackberry as well that would be great. All I can find is flickr??
I just use my dropbox account. added my mom to the photo folder and she can just go to the dropbox website. The dropbox app makes it very easy to upload photos right after you take them. This works for you too. If they just upload photos to the shared dropbox folder you can view them from computer or phone. Only problem is you don't get any notification of new content like you get with e-mail.

is there any cloud service left suppofting wm after close of myphone, dropbox and sugarsync ?
there is droppedboxx but not successful indeed.
thanks in advance
i also wanna knw
any news?
Many, just because MS closed it's services does not mean others will.
Personally for cloud storage I use some of my hosting space & thus have our own company app market & cloud storage ability all controlled by us, simple reliable secure & cheap ...
DroppedBox is working perfectly well.
For me it's a good solution.
If you want to sign for a dropbox account with 2.5Go clic my invitation.
Hey everyone,
I've been googling for many hours. I've been to many shady places. But I've come up empty handed.
I'm basically looking for an app, that can provide syncronisation between a folder on my device, and a folder on <insert cloud storage here>.
I'm personally trying to migrate away from Dropbox, of which I've been a heavy user for many years. But in the light of the recent NSA gate, I thought I'd take a look what else is out there. I've chosen MEGA, as they provide (on paper) the security I like, and enough storage for my cloud-storage-needs.
I've been using Dropbox to automatically store the images I've taken with my phone camera and I take a backup of my texts every night at 2pm, which is also, automagically, uploaded to Dropbox. The official MEGA app takes care of the first, but the latter is taken care of within the backup app itself. It can be disabled, though.
I've looked for sync apps, but neither those or apps like Helium doesn't support MEGA.
So dear XDA,
Is there hope for me?

Hej, so i use macbook, ipad Pro and instead of an iphone14 i went for s23 ultra. So far happy but facing some difficulties to get used to. I know apple and samsung apps do not really 'talk' so looking for your inputs regarding sms or call app that informs both OS at the same time? Also, how do you share images to ipad now that airdrop is not a thing for me anymore.. Need to find a way.
I also ditched apple books for amazon kindle and paid for moleskin journey app that works with both iPadOS amd Samsung platforms and syncs well. Looking for any app suggestions that works on both iPad OS and samsung/android.
Thanks in advance .

I use Google Drive to share files between iPad, desktop computer (Linux) and smartphone. Sometimes an external SSD drive.
Regards.
I have the same devices, Images I offload them periodically from the phone, you can use for example Lightroom, google photos, foldersync and a network share like on a NAS.
SMS Infos , you can switch from the standard messages stuff to the google messages, they have an option to view online. Calls i dont know, i am sorry...
Feel free to ask any other app types or workflows and can share infos.

File sharing between devices , i use cable and Android Transfer , or cxfile explorer and filezilla on a mac , or just a network share where i copy the files from the phone , or sftp and copy directly on the mac from the phone.

Gdrive and google photos is my solution as well since my cloud storage now is google.
Lightroom could be a good idea. I have little knowledge about network share will check it out. Feel free to write any new app you find that syncs on both platforms.

for contacts and mails I use google services, on mac transfer all the contacts to the google account ,and calendar aswell , just use the google one. that will be present on the phone aswell , you have notes too that you can use on a mac. Alternatively you can use onenote if you like that better. these should cover it.
You got the basic answers except for sms and calls. If you happen to be on Verizon, their Message+ app will allow you to text and call on the iPad via your phone. You have to run the app on both devices. I did this a couple of years ago, but didn't really care for the app that much. I'm not sure what it is like now. As an aside, you can do this and still use a different texting app on your phone. If I recall, texts you send from the iPad won't show up in the other app though. Incoming texts show in both.

For notes i found a hack. Install google keep in ipad or mac, you can now share apple notes to google keep. Install keep in your phone and voila, shared apple notes are here. They won't auto update though but gotta live with it i had to sync my old notes from apple.
@Ornisense found another way. in the samsung notes app you can enable sync with onenote. then on the mac just use onenote
This is my setup:
MacMini M2 Pro and ipad pro 12.9 6th
Galaxy S23 Ultra and S22
Windows AMD based pc
I'm using Office 365 on all devices (family version, purchased with great discount on Amazon. It is happening sometime). This include 1TB of OneDrive space for all the users.
I've installed Onedrive on all the devices and Samsung Gallery automatically synch with OneDrive so I'm finding the pictures on all the devices at the same time.
Same tool also for the files (Onedrive is integrated in the Mac Finder and iPad File application so it is very convenient to use). Unfortunately Apple Photo is not synching with anything else but iCloud but there are alternative for picture magament (e.g. XnView or similar).
For notes I use OneNote. Working well everywhere.
PDF I have uPDF that with one license is working on Mac, Windows,Android and iPad.
VSCode is working in Mac and Windows very well.
Office app (word,excel, powerpoint,outlook) is installable on all the devices (Mac,IOS , Android and Windows)
NAS is where I store data in my house so it is a common place for all the files.
As file manager I use the great TotalCommander on Windows and CommanderOne Pro and MuCommander on Mac.

You have all the answers! My wife uses my google one subscription being a pixel user so it will be hard for me to change to onedrive but I'm keeping this in my head...
If you have a mac you can plug your s23U into it and in usb settings enable photo transfer to send your photos to the mac photo library.
There is also Macdroid and other apps if you need to copy files back and forth.
Too bad apple doesn't allow Dex any more as then it would be easy to run dex on your Mac and drag and drop between the 2.
