25GB FREE Online Storage - Off-topic

Hi Guys
Just thought i'd mention it. Microsoft has a really cool free storage solution out for a while now. It's called Skydrive and gives you 25GB online storage for free. Works with any Windows Live ID.
Screenshot is attached. Unfortunately individual filesize max is 50MB, so mostly can't be used for ROM images, but other files and deffinately for personal storage.
Folders can be Public or Private or Shared etc.
Screenshot attached.
Check it out at www.skydrive.live.com.

file synchronisation like exchange

Is there an online service and software that enables you to synch and share securely files and photos so that i can access all my files from anywhere in the world. Would also be useful if it natively synchronized changes to files. Was looking at sharepoint but not sure if there is a more suitable personal service enabling photo hosting and file hosting all in one place.
For accessing files on your pc, you can use ORB, which allows you to access (and stream) media and other files from your pc.
I do use orb but I was loking for an online hosting service
There are loads of free online storage companies, offering up to 50gb but not with synching, that I know of.

I'm running out of main memory!!!!

Hello everyone,
I have only 7 MB left from my main memory and although I installed all programs into my internal storage, the main memory keeps shrinking each time.
what should I do to expand my main memory or what files should I remove?
Thanks
You may store too much data on your main memory. move all your photos, musics to internal storgae
If you do a lot of browsing dont forget to clear the cached files.
emails?
Are you synchronizing email? Because, even if you configure the attachments to be stored in internal memory, the actual body text is still stored in RAM.
Check \Windows\Messaging for data...
If so, you need to fix this in the Registry, check the following thread:

my diamond keeps popping up a warning that my storage memory is low. When i look at memory it shows storage total 92.05 MB in use 90.22 MB free 1.84 MB Program total 203.84 MB in use 84.15 MB free 119.69 MB.
What gives? What is eating up that storage total? I only have a few apps installed (Registry Edit, Dashwire, Advanced Config, google maps, wmwifirouter, app to date, diamond tf3d config and .net 3.5.) This is on a Sprint Diamond.

bro im having EXACT same prom with the same programs loaded...its almost unuseable at ths point wtf i cannot find these memory hogs and ive searched almost entire windows directory too
A great little app. I found is "Memory Monger" (do a search for the thread with a download). It graphically shows what's in your memory (internal or main). I used it to see which were the big files and moved them to internal storage and made shortcuts in their original folders.
Rob
hey thanks! i will try it.
too late? maybe, but here goes. I found the solution to MY problem with low "storage memory". I had to first do a soft reset because I didn't even have enough free to launch Opera (only .02MB free!). Once i soft reset, i could launch Opera and proceed to clear cache, cookies, and history. after that, it freed up 23MB!! I'm back in business now. Hope this helps someone else besides me!

Hyperlinks make it much easier to navigate through a document.
Images add visual richness to documents, especially photo-quality color pictures.
Tables allow the display of tabular data.
Formatted text gives style to text for controlled emphasis.
Got it installed... I had to disable/re-enable third party application installs.

WP7 - Storeing documents and PDFs to HD7

Hi
Does anyone know how to store documents and PDFs to the HD7? I can create documents on the phone but not transfer anything from my old HD2.
People on other threads mentioned skydrive, but I can only find an option to load photos there.
We need Dropbox !
I think for now the only way to work with the storage of docs is via SharePoint
Ian
I was wondering how to go about doing this myself!
I little testing later and here are some options that worked:
Ahem!emailthemtoyourselfAhem! This does work and you can save the files to your phone after downloading the attachments (by default the attachments weren't download when the email was synced).
How WP7 does this is quite different to Windows desktop or Windows Mobile 6.5. Clicking on the attachment in the email will only open it; a long press does nothing. If it's a word file, there is then there is the option to 'save as' which allows you to modify the file name should you wish but only allows you to save to 'Office Hub'. Once you do this, the file is added to the second pivot list or column in the Office Hub (‘Documents’).
Note: Adding further office files such that the list will no longer fit on the screen will make the list vertically scrollable.
Skydrive and Office Live seem to be fully functional using the included WP7 IE browser. I was able to browse through my Skydrive files and folders and was even able to create and edit a new word document - all from within the browser.
Downloading an individual file takes a bit of careful finger work – just clicking on it automatically opens the file or folder but if you long press (which brings up the ‘open in new tab/share’ dialogue) and then click again in an empty part of the screen to hide the popup again, it will only highlight the file (as mousing over would do on the PC). This then allows you to select the more > download options.
The best and least pain free option for transferring files from Skydrive is to simply put everything you want on your phone in one Skydrive folder and use the ‘download folder as zip’ option. This method allows you to then open and save each individual file in the zip to the Office Hub. The limitation of this method is that the zip file doesn’t appear to be saved locally – it appears to open in the browser and only lets you open each file individually.
Note: It looks like currently there is no way to ‘save’ a pdf file on the device apart from as a downloaded email attachment. Hmm, not ideal if you like looking at large pdfs!
Each WP7 app has it's own isolated storage area. Unfortauntely, apps cannot acccess storage space belonging to other apps. The only exception here so far seems to be the Pictures storage; many apps can read and write to this.
I would expect in future OS updates we will have better access to shared storage areas (well hopefully).
The solution I've been using for now is Dropbox. I upload my PDF files there, then navigate to http://m.dropbox.com in IE. Use your WiFi of course. When you tap on a file in your dropbox it will open in Adobe Reader.
Later on, if you open Adobe Reader from the app list then you will have access to previously downloaded PDFs. Simples!
In the next software update they are going to bring skydrive into the office app.
Has there been any advancements yet?
It does seem silly that I don't have a documents folder or indeed that WP7 doesn't mirror my computer architecture.
Am uploading my PDF's to drop box, once i've accessed and opened them from my phone, am I then able to save them on to the storage card?
How the hell do I get a PDF on to my HD7?
I've tried emailing it to myself. I see it in hotmail, but every single time I attempt to download it, it fails.
I tried Dropbox. I see it in the browser, but no option to save.
I uploaded it to Skydrive, again, I see it but no option to save, only 'open in new tab' and 'share'.
This is utterly ridiculous, only MS could take a task as simple as saving a PDF to a device and turn it into a nightmare.
I'm usually quite apt with computers, this has me completely stumped though.
Are you sure the PDF file is not corrupt? Do you even have Adobe Reader installed?
Picking a random smallish PDF file:
http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/downloads/standard-tube-map.pdf
Entering that into IE on the phone downloads it, and offers the option to view it.
Having viewed it, it now appears in the Adobe Reader app. Long press on the filename gives me the option to delete it.
The same goes for skydrive (accessed through IE), and if I email the PDF file to myself.
Although the methods previously suggested might work, and they do with several limitation, I wouldn't advise them as they will either leave your files lost in the middle of hundreds of e-mails or pile your office hub in a completely unorganized fashion.
My solution is much better; simply create OneNote notebooks, organized anyway you see fit, insert your files and sync them to SkyDrive.
When you sync them with your WP phone you will have your pdf files organized and always available.
Cheers

How to read pdf files on wp7?

Hello i instaled the acrobat reader on my HTC HD7 and i changed the registry setings on my computer so i can use the hd7 as a external hard drive and i then uploaded some pdf files to read on the mobile phone but the acrobat reader cant find them! what im i doing wrong?
thank you
Cloud storage via SkyDrive. Hacking your phone to allow you to transfer files to it doesn't help the program access those files, since those programs weren't written to behave in that manner.
Or you could email them as attachments.
true, i tought about that but they are big files about 65 megabytes or biger
Those are some big PDF's you could try dropbox.
Easy, just use Windows Live Mesh to sync 'em to your skydrive, then point your phone's browser to the skydrive website and open them, the PDF viewer will automatically save them to your phone.
Thank you very much i will try that ;-)

You might actually encounter a problem here, because if I'm not mistaken, SkyDrive limits file sizes to 50 megs...
Also, for FAST access to your SkyDrive, once you log into it on your phones browser, Pin the webpage to your Start. Then it's just a single tap on your home screen to access SkyDrive.

Where'd you hear that???
Your main SkyDrive online storage has a 50 MB file size limit.
Your SkyDrive sync'd storage doesn't have a file size limit but only has 5 GB of online storage. So in order to take advantage of your sync'd storage, you need to use Windows Live Mesh to sync your files/folders.

That's exactly what I recommended to the OP. :O)
Dang, that looks cool as all get out. Too bad it isn't available on XP
Why is the storage size different though? I appear to have 25 gigs of storage. Or is it just a limitation of what you can sync through Live Mesh?

Unfortunately there's lots of stuff that's not supported on XP, such as IE9.
My understanding is that your Skydrive limit is 25GB for data that is synced there via Live Mesh. For files placed there manually you have a 5GB limit. I think.
Anyways, upgrade to Windows 7 if you can, it's SO much better than XP. Live Mesh rocks, I use it to keep my laptop synced to my desktop so both machines have an exact replica of all my data. If anything changes on either machine, it ripples across to the other one straight away. Awesome.
