Help with Dropbox? - Off-topic

Anyone not using dropbox? Ive been using it for a while and just wanted to remind newbs of it. go to https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTYwNzM2ODk and sign up, install the software, and you haev the easiest wireless way to share files back and forth between your phone and your desktop. Great Backup Solution. Help me out by signing up from the link above, and we both get extra space in the dropbox for doing so!

True, I mean when not at home. Its very helpful, especially for sending large things like videos. I have collaboration folders setup with my wife, and brother, and I can just drop the files in there, and then they get them too. Great way to share big stuff.

Dropbox is great but make sure you keep a separate backup. DB literally ate the English Essay I had worked on for days. Here's what happened: I typed up the rough draft on my PC at home. I then went to the writing lab at school and downloaded it to my phone. I plugged my phone into the tutor's PC and we revised it together and printed it out. I submitted it to my professor and a couple days later she e-mailed me saying she wanted me to make some changes. I went back to Dropbox on my PC to open the file and got the rough draft again. Downloaded again, same thing. I went on my phone and found out that it too had the rough draft. Somehow when I uploaded the final draft it did not actually upload so I wound up having to rewrite it again (as best as I could from memory).
Moral of the story: When you make changes to a file, make sure you back it up elsewhere!

You do know that drophox supports versioning right? You can go the website and see the last several save states. So if your more fully written essay was overwritten, so long as it was saved at some point, you can still retrieve it from the website.

Same here. I'm not that shameless myself; mine is cleverly hidden in my sig.

Haha I added it to my Sig too. Just running out of room and hoping to get some more space in a hurry
As a side note, how do I make a url in my Sig clickable?

This thread should be deleted since it's not anything for help with Dropbox but rather a plug to get more space... shame shame OP..

Firstly, I advise against adding a "dropbox" link to your sig ... unless of course, you feel it necessary to have your account suspended.
The purpose of services such as dropbox, rapidshare, megaupload, 4shared, etc. is to provide a space for folks to download/upload content that can be legitimately used on a mobile device. In other words, shameless promotion to bump space or increase points is not appropriate.

take care,
Hinder
p.s. yesteday i also made some wallpaper cause i couldnt find a simple black and blue one so here it is aswell...
http://img40.imageshack.us/f/bluestripes.png/
feel free to pm me for any info, a request or idea for some other icons
I'd be interested on how these look....have a photo of it on a phone?
Could someone mirror it on something besides 2share..
Please?
-Flawless
Did anyone get this moved to a different download site?
i would also like to see a phone pic w/ these =]
Wow, what an incredibly $%&$!#* download site. Gave up, will try again if it's moved to somewhere else.
I'll reupload somwhere else...
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=E87VALWH
there you go
here is the pic
the program icons are slightly different with smaller text below the app name...
edit: second ss with the other icons
can these be used on the droid x because I keep getting message that this device does not support the download
I love the idea! but I don't have the skill to use psd files and stuff. Does anybody with photoshop skill want to expand this collection? I'm sure it would make a bunch of people happy if that's any consolation.

this is not my app, but i never saw it here and a search didnt pop it up, so maybe some of you dont know it. i dont see why ms would bann it, but yeah, if you interrested in the story check his website:
http://smartypantscoding.com/R_I_P_-Imagewind-for-Windows-Phone
but i love the app!
design is perfect
function is always good to kill some minutes
basicly it will show you all pictures that are posted on twitter at the moment.
it does that with sleek animations and you can always digg deeper into the content.
where the picture can be viewed like you would want it on a touchscreen.
one more time i have to say, awesome design!
not like those "i just started programming 99cent apps"
this is really worth checking out, only available via xap sideload...
download here:
http://imagewind.net/wp7/
also dont miss the silverlight webapp over here:
http://imagewind.net/
awesome stuff!!!​
this is cool! thanks. i dont like twitter but i like this haha
oh good i've found it, thanks! works perffect!
app slowed to a crawl
Have been using this app for around a month now and i must say its great fun, almost hypnotic. However yesterday the picture generation started to run slowly, then crawl, now it takes around 5 mins per line to populate.
So has anyone else experienced this behaviour from the app? does anybody know if the development is still going with the app or if there is a newer version than the one posted here?
FYI i have uninstalled the app and reinstalled to no avail and i have tried to contact the developer via the web page comments section but the Capture window does not work and so i cannot leave a comment.
Any help would be appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Creamy
I can't download the xap file.
There you go:
OK so I have no idea if SmartyPantsCoding is still supporting this, but the app has slowed down because it can't see most of the image URLs on twitter anymore.
Twitter has started shortening ALL URLs on it's service automatically using the t.co service. This means the app cant search the timeline for items with pictures in them (at least not without some re-coding) tho for some unknown reason, tweetphoto links still work. These might be the only links twitter doesn't shorten.
This sucks for us who liked the phone app (and the website imagewind.net) but it means Twitter can now get analytics info, which I gather they have now made available......
nice App
Thanks

Its been re released and is working nicely on my Mango HD7. I doubt it will make it to the marketplace again so here is the Xap
Kind Regards,
Creamy
Anyone happen to have a version 1.2 xap ? Ver 1.1 doesn't work, and 1.3 (above) doesn't support Twitter.
1.2 is supposed to do both Twitter & Flickr. I'm not sure it's past the url issues that broke 1.1, just thought I'd ask if it's out there. Thanks.
EDIT: The above xap does have an option in setting to switch to "unsafe" mode, which pulls pics from Twitter. Works flawlessly. My bad.
thanks, great find!

Contest Thread?

/*Just wondering if the mods would agree to a thread where we post links to various contests where when people sign up through your link you get more chances to win. I know those are technically referral links, but with me at least I know the ones I would post would be legit. Already have one where you can win a 5D mark III ($3.5k camera) where in the same giveaway you can get a lens, a g1X camera or a camera bag, and another one thats a gift certificate to a store with photo inspired clothes. Will Archer allow this?*/
A thread where we post links to LEGIT contests where you can win great stuff and get help in getting more entries. No spam, no "points" websites. You get the point.
Mod edit: Links removed
DON'T FORGET TO POST YOUR OWN. ONCE WE GET THIS ROLLING I'LL UPDATE THE OP WITH LINKS FOR EACH USERNAME
It's easier to ask forgiveness than ask permission haha.
Send me a link I'll sign up.

Signed up on for the D&B shirts, which are pretty sweet.
Couldn't get the first link to work on my tablet. the website redirects me to the fb page but it doesn't have any content. iPad fail. I'll do that one when I get to my work comp tomorrow.
Edit: I was wondering how they knew you referred me haha. Derp. It made me use fb so I can't sign up again. well I can get the first link for you tomorrow.

404 Page not found for the 5D3 link.
Edit: Nevermind, I decoded the URL and it worked.
Fixing now.
EDIT. Fix'd
@Wired. Yea those shirts rock. I'd wear them everywhere, and supposedly they are from good material.
Also to up the stakes, if I win either the lens or the camera bag, I will sell them and donate half the money to XDA. With the lens that would mean $500 . I'm keeping the cameras if I win any of them. lol

First one should work now. I had an extra / by accident.
And I like contests through FB. Less **** to type in. Just like it, email, and you're done.
It does make it easier. I feel like I pulled a fast one on them..

Can't find KitKats? Want to win a Nexus 7?

Hey y'all I have been just using random addresses and made up names to keep putting in new codes, but another user gave me an idea. I could use the names and addresses of XDA members that can't find the specially marked packages yet. I have 5 codes I will be entering tonight, so if you would like to win, leave me your name and address. You can either leave it in this thread or PM me. I will let you know if you won or not. I figure this is a better idea than some random person winning a tablet due to me picking addresses off of Google maps.

according to a reddit post
"The codes are region specific, so don't even bother trying codes that aren't from your region. Also, you can't enter a second code at all if you've already won anything, so don't try"
you sure even that will work... or am i missing something

You definitely can't win again if you have already won, which is why I keep having to make up info and temp email addresses. The play credit code gets emailed so it's not attached to a particular play store account. I am not sure about the region thing, but I'd be willing to test it out.

Cloud Storage Services

Hey ladies and gentlement!
As I'm already recognized a high resonance via G+, I thought I'll start a OT-Thread here related to the topic
- Free Cloud Storage -
As for sure a lot of ppl has another priority and subjectiv opinion on different cloud services,
but I think we all are fair and reational enough to share our meanings without treating other meaning or ppl here.
So I'll start with my own experience and opinion:
In my opinion the realtiv new cloud storage of 'Copy' is one of the best cloud storage service,
which offers a really great android app, too.
The app also was re-designed some weeks ago and it's quiet intuitive and more looking good.
I'm personally also a Google fan and so for sure using G-Drive, too, but anyway for general daily cloud handling I use this at all.
'Copy' also let u create a synchronisation folder which gives the opportunity to share and edit things in a kind of group.
So I personally learned to use this in my job when working on a project, so that other project-partners could see when I put in new files
and themselves could view & edit them if they want. Also they could just put in their own files, so that I can see it.
Over this you can give different rights, for what anyone can to in this folder.
(I think that's enough explained for synchronisation folders)
Let's go ahead to the most sensitive point in nowadays "Security".
So to let's say first, that there is no 100% safe cloud service and surly will never be!
So we all have to trust the service and can orientate here on the security standards they offer.
'Copy' that for uses a part for the connection and one for the encryption of data to/on their servers.
The connection is here saved by the SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) standard
and the data encryption by the AES256 (Advanced Encryption Standard)
Even their are other possibilities and the SSL could be the updated TLS standard, this is one of the highest "daily" protection standard.
[I don't want to get off from topic here, so let's say that there are more higher security standard, but u have to think in relative terms here!]
In the app u also have the opportunity to set a PIN, to secure the entry in app, even the phone won't have one.
At this point I hope I don't forget any important points, otherwise just ask and let me know...
Again this is for sure a objective view on things, so please let me know what u guys think and share your meanings and recommandation of cloud storage services.
CHEERS

With the link below u get 20GB [5GB to the 15GB] free storage on 'Copy', because I invited you.
So if u want to test it or saying "yes this listen like what I searched for", just register via it,
than 5GB more, are better than not or?
=> https://copy.com?r=dOBmai
PS: Yes I also get 5GB free if u use this link, but anyway this shouldn't be a big advertisement, just a recommendation.
