don't use it either, i use DropBox and i'm waiting for Google Drive. I might use it once microsoft gets off it's back side and gives us a proper android app
Bloody hell, nice one! I've got more cloud storage than I know what to do with at the minute
At least we got some integration to it thanks to HTC though! And unless I'm mistaken , it looks like its forever, instead of just 2 years

I can't find it. I can only see the pay alternatives.
Is it only for some countries?

50GB at Box.net

Fock Yeah
Thank You so much to thread maker who made us aware of this great moment.

Did you already have an account? The wording suggests it's for existing customers (but I can't find any T&Cs anywhere to confirm that). I can't see why it would be country-specific though.
Cool, thanks for the heads up! I upgraded, and so did my girlfriend, she needed a 21 gig+ free online storage for backing up her pictures

Apparently I didn't have Skydrive on my 1nd account, but on my other older one I could receive it. So it works.
I upgraded now .. thanks for that information ...
can't complain 25GB with dropbox and now 25GB with SkyDrive
So now i have 25GB of Free space. After installing Win8 and therefore opt in Skydrive I haven't used it at all. But with Dropbox its different story because Iam using it everyday and have almost 31GB now
Great! thankyou for letting us know! an extra 25gb of storage will always come in handy
Thanks for the heads up on this, never used it before but will check it out.
THanks... though i use Drop.... but why not keep it on the safe side

On my old windows live account this worked, on my newer one the option isn't there, guessing it's only for older accounts.

Well, I sure as hell am not using this app anymore on my phone to help push files to it. And I dunno if devs on XDA will want to continue putting their stuff onto here anymore to help ease distribution. I wouldn't.
Thoughts?
Thoughts? Some legally illiterate blogger misunderstands TOS and starts scaremongering to get publicity.
As one of the comments states there are more serious concerns about storing files on a cloud service, especially with groups like anonymous and lolz secz that would hack it just to show it can be done.
Cloud storage systems are often more secure than personal computers. They attempt seurity. Most of the PC's I've seen you just need the IP and your in. I have yet to find a completely secure system. (My security is just several layers of chroots)

Personal experience
Never had stolen or stole any data from cloud storage systems. But have had friends had tons of data right off their computers. Most people don't put ANY effort into security other than a login password.

You're lucky then.
800,000 sidekick users might have reason to dissagree.
Dropbox is free (2gb) and works just about flawlessly.
Let the the lawyers figure this silly nonsense out, I'm not gonna stop using it. Now, if you upload copyrighted material to dropbox, and then post a public link to that material, that's on you.
I've never used it, but this news article will definititly make me think twice before signing up. Not to say i won't, possibly, someday, but i have no need for it right now, and this "scaremongering" as you put it worked. I'll just stick to uploading things to my google account for now.

Thanks for that!
Now i am in formed of whats going on. lol
i am fairly sure that nothing is going to happen when you upload your music. Just don't link it online to share it with the world.
what a crock. Its a lowball way for companies to get peoples ideas and work without paying for them. I knew cloud storage was too good to be true for long.
Doesnt look like ill be using any of them for this. Oh wait I dont have to since I use website servers to host my own stuff.

What is?
All it does is allow them to do what YOU want them to do with it, such as when you share drop box folders and their content with others, you're giving DB the right to share your data at your request.

Exactly, if you have files stored in dropbox, no one can use the file unless you copy a link and share it... i mean its not like 4shared where you upload something then can search the site for files like copyrighted material and what not... The only way someone can access your stuff if you share the folder or link with them....
Unlike dropbox, the app Minus offers 10gigs of free space!
Minus offers 10gigs of free space, unlike dropbox and zumodrive. I just wanted to share the application with my XDA friends! Here's the link!
http://minus.com/rajverma3135http://minus.com/rajverma3135
SO Enjoy
@rajverma nice find
Another alternative is SugarSynch.com which offers 5gb free.
Also for those that have their own storage/server somewhere this is what i did.
I used iqbox-svn as synch software on the clients and VisualSVN As software for the server.
It doesn't have any web interface or recovery like dropbox has but heck it's all free and if you got the space/server might as well utilize it.
Ps: Sry for thread jacking
omg, i rly think i will use this!
i just registered.. with one single step, without even a need of email!!
holy ****, all registrations should be that fast xD
Minus.com is taking over the world
Seriously though, it seems to be a far superior alternative to Dropbox. Good for hosting files too, with no Bandwidth limitations. I'm sure a lot of people here will use it to share their dev work.
Thumbs up from me!
CX also offers 10GB free space and it works on all phone / desktop models just like dropbox
this minus, only works for android, iphone, and windows
not as useful as the other 2
Nah man, I'm good with dropbox. These alternatives come with a catch of MINUS the features.
nice, almost filled my dropbox, thanks
meh
it is a lot more initial storage, but i have almost 16gbs free on dropbox from referrals. on top of the reliability and capabilities of dropbox, i find everything i need satisfied that way.
That is a nice find. Is there a way to organize the files with folders like Dropbox?
The big selling point of dropbox is not the size of the space but the ease of use. Their app works easy, site works easy, etc.
I gave sugarsync a try and their website was some CSS/javascript clusterfuck, everything required loading and had to be fancy. Dropbox on the other-hand is a simply file tree, and everything is right there.
Sounds interesting. I will give them a try. Thanks
I simply created an ftp server using iis on my pc and made the root directory a folder on my 1tb storage hard drive. Than used dns redirrection on my website to have it a named server ftp.
Though not all people have the resources i LOVE it.
I have as many files/movies as i need at my disposal on my phone and can link without the worry of getting my links shut down.
Sorry if i'm a little off topic i just thought i'd throw my 2¢ in.
I thought google was doing something similar ????
How is the upload and download speeds

What about resume support?
Yep, I've been on minus for a few days, and I like it more than Dropbox. Got 12 gigs, and if you want more storage use my referral link in my sig. Both of us will get an extra gig.

Depends on ur ISP really.
that is quite generous of them to give 1gb per referral, I think dropbox only gives 0.25gb.

It's still one gig. I got my boss to sign up. I have 14gb now
SkyDrive FTW
25GB for free, and no limit for Office files and photos! 5GB can be sync'ed.
And all you need is a Live ID or Hotmail account.
Summary
Here's the deal. I have a HP Touchpad. There is a special offer on the Box.net application for the Touchpad that signs up new members for a promotional 50GB account instead of the normal 5GB account. It is the same account type as the 5GB one, but with 50GB of total storage. Account details below. This promotional offer is only available to the HP Touchpad application.
Questions and Answers
What are the account details?
50GB total storage space
10GB monthly (calendar) bandwidth
100MB file size limit
How do I qualify?
1. You must be a contributing member of this community with at least two months of active posting.
2. You must have received at least ten thanks.
Will you change your mind or make a special exception for me since I just joined/don't have ten thanks?
Absolutely not. This is a reward for contributing community members.
What do you get out of this deal?
A warm, fuzzy feeling inside.
This all sounds great and I am a contributing member! How do I get my free account?
Simple. PM me the e-mail address you want linked to the account. I will create an account for you as soon as I can using the password "xdaforums" as the default. Make sure you change it after I post a confirmation here. Please, ONE request per user. New accounts only. Void where prohibited.
How long are you offering this?
Until I get bored, or when I'm done being nice.
Can I upgrade my current 5GB account?
No. This is ONLY for new accounts. I cannot upgrade any account, because there is nothing to upgrade. This is the EXACT same account as a 5GB one, but with more space.
How many accounts do you have left to give out?
I can create an unlimited number of accounts.
Can I integrate this into Windows Explorer?
Of course you can. Follow the instructions in this post.
Disclaimer:
I don't get anything out of this deal other than a warm, fuzzy feeling of doing something nice for you. This isn't a "sign-people-up-so-I-get-more-space" deal. I don't make any money or anything off of this. All I am doing is creating your own separate account for you on my Touchpad, and turning control of the account over to you. Plain and simple, with no strings attached. I figured who better would appreciate a lot of free cloud storage than XDA, so here I am.

You need a paid account for that feature. I use it more for extra personal storage. I've got 18GB used up so far. It's handy for expanding the memory on my 16GB Touchpad.

It does with a paid account. This is basically a static 50GB storage location. If you want more than read/write access, you have to pay.

What did I do wrong?
EDIT @ALL: It was a misunderstanding on the nature of this thread. To clarify, I'm not getting anything in return for doing this for any of you guys. I'm just being nice. I have to sign you guys up for it myself because it has to be done through the HP Touchpad Box.net application. Signing up on the website yourself gets you the standard 5GB account. This is the same as that one feature-wise, but offers 50GB instead of 5GB.
Ohmygosh, thanks so much!!!! I have actived that account already!!! You're the man!!!

Fun, promotion and a reflection of how the DropBox team use creativity as part of there company culture
Keeping up the good team spirit eventually will lead to new ideas.
Google Labs is another example how to promote good ideas ...
Sync time is low by design I think, preventing unnecessarily filesharing among the masses (like new firmwares and movies)

Mega storage is always free!
Just signed up for it looks promising. Thought would share here so that Dev's can post ROMs for us to download.
MegaCloud is a free cloud storage based service which automatically synchronizing your files to all linked devices. Group work and group sharing has never been easier.
As a free account holder you start off with 16GB*.
By installing MegaCloud on your mobiles you can get 3GB extra.
By performing actions on free page, you can get 1.5GB extra.
By inviting friends, you can get an additional 500MB per referral; and more.
This is my unique link, which will give both of us extra 500MB please click on this if you want to help me out lol if not that's fine general link it's on the bottom.
