win741.com - Windows 7 student upgrade- $29.99

so I know this has pretty much absolutely nothing to do with development, other than the fact that an OS is where most of the stuff starts, but I just wanted to share with you guys that if you have a .edu email address (a student address) you qualify for the student upgrade to either windows7 home premium or Professional.
for more info go to win741.com.
Mods will probably lock this or move it, but I just had to share this with a community that has given me so much!
direct link to site
just FYI - this is all through windows, and is 100% real.

Wrong place but great find!
I'm upgrading today!! (good thing I have a .edu account for just this occasion)

thanks alot

I mean, it's a nice gesture, but it really doesn't belong here, especially not in the development section. If you doubt yourself, you probably should steer clear of posting.
Besides, Android caters particularly to the Linux constituency, so, you know.
Again, thanks for the info, but some advertisement about a new Windows version is entirely unrelated to the development of the Android platform.

i know its in the wrong place, in the wrong forum completely. I also know that Linux is the primary for android, but I just wanted to share and get this out there. Like I said in the OP, just wanted to give back. I could have posted this is Dream general, but honestly, who would have looked there...?

Pretty crafty! Now all we need is someone offering to generate .edu email addresses to really get XDA sued!

Also, after purchasing windows7 and you begin the download you are offered
Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007 for 59.99.

awesome, i didnt even notice that, i just got everything all setup and ready to go. its pretty slick so far.

just doing a quick search, i think you can register for a .edu email here if you use the site to learn/teach
https://openlearn.open.ac.uk/login/signup.php

Thank you very much! Great contribution.

Well, if you have a .edu email address, you should check to see if your school is part of the MSDNAA. They give out free software, including Windows 7 Professional along with other OSes and developer programs. I am currently using Windows 7 Professional for free!

I'm a student, but my address ends in @student.tue.nl! NOOoooo.
Oh well, so it goes.

I can better this one the beauty of msndaa, had a copy of 7 professional since beginning of september! Ahh it feels good to be lucky. O yeh best as well it was free Well good for a poor student!

Big Dropbox bonus? *edit- mistake

I just turned on camera upload in my dropbox app to get the 1 gb bonus listed in the app. Took one picture with my camera and immediately got an email from dropbox giving me a 24GB bonus!!!

The only thing about 25GB I can think of is the HTC One series offer, but they plugged up that glitch and took away the extra space from anyone who exploited it with a non-One series phone.

You should have mentioned that...That changes everything...Your thread is misleading. Yes, it's an HTC/Dropbox promotion for people who own a One-series phone. They get 25GB for a year. Your 25GB is about to go bye-bye though because Dropbox is cracking down on people who got the free space using what you did.

Yeah I didn't realize it was from that when I posted. I thought it had something to do with the new competition from google. They can take the space back, I don't care. It's their glitch, not my theft.

Google Drive...

I've been user of Google Docs since it was introduced and I am now a Google Drive user, like the rest of us. I use Drive for all of my docs, it's particularly good for that, IMO. Here are some questions I am hoping my fellow N7 users can answer, even though they are not N7-specific...
- Google announced that all Drive members have been moved from 5gb to 15gb. Has anyone actually seen this yet?
- When photos are stored in Drive, you view them in G+. Is there any way to view them just as files in a typical filling/folder-based structure?
- What's your take? Has this new 15gb allowance pulled you away from your Dropbox, Box, SkyDrive, etc?
- Am I the only one that finds the G+ presentation of photos somewhat goofy and Facebook-like? Not sure I need anything more than the file structure that Dropbox provides for my photos. Maybe it'll just take time for me to adjust?
Thanks!
-bk

Anxiously awaiting the extra storage but nothing yet. I've started using Drive more in anticipation of the increase, but I still prefer dropbox. I have lots of dropbox storage and I use it for my important files, but I have started using Drive for my less important files.
Sent from XDA app

I use Drive a lot more than Dropbox because of the 3 extra gigabytes of space. And because I use it mainly for documents and presentations, I like being able to create and edit documents in a web browser. I'm also excited for the 15gb upgrade.
As to your question about pictures in drive, I don't see what you mean. Here's how pictures look to me.

I'm actually seeing it for the first time today. I see it in my Gmail and also when i look at how much storage I'm using in my Drive account (attached image).
I haven't stored pictures in my Drive account, but I did use Picasa and that's all integrated into G+ (this could've been like this for a while, but I haven't seen it this way before).
I still have more space in my Dropbox account so this won't stop how much I use Dropbox. I'm mainly using Dropbox for syncing my photos that I take with my cell. I may change this at some point, but not just because Google gave me more storage.

I use Copy. 20GB space straight after sign up.

I just moved all my pix out of G+ into permanent storage. But while they were in G+, I don't recall seeing them listed in my Drive folders. If there were right there, my bad, I just missed it. I'll need to put some pix in there and double-check if they show-up in the directory hierarchy in Drive. If so, thanks for the heads-up!

Well, I just did exactly that. Added some new pix to G+ in a new album, but they are nowhere to be found in Drive.
If this is really the case, it doesn't make sense to me.
Any ideas on this?

Box...50GB free

Unlocked and rooted last night, reinstalled box app and they gave me extra 50GB for my new LG device. Just a heads up...anybody get this?

Thanks for the heads up! I've just installed Box and logged in -- free upgrade to 50GB!

A cloud storage site that wants my phone number? No thanks.

I have like 127 gb from installing dropbox on my old sgs3 and my gf's htc one x. I think I'm good for like 2 years haha. Wish Google would give free GB to Drive for Nexus users, though.

I just got it myself. Sweet.

Does box auto upload photos like dropbox does? I don't use Google Drive, because it won't do that so Drive is worthless to me.

nope, dont see that feature yet, but I'm guessing they'll implement it? You might as well sign up, it takes like 3 minutes for 50GB and even if you dont use it now, you can use it later

How long does it last? I assume they don't just give your 50 gb forever. How much do they charge to renew later? It would suck to put important back ups on it and have them disappear in a year.

Best hosting site

which is best file hosting site according to you and why ???

For me Devhost is the best. Not sure why, but I quite enjoy the fact there's no intrusive ads, or captchas (hope I spelled that right). Browsing through files to download is really as well, and it would be perfect if you're working on a ROM or the like and plan to have future updates. All your downloads would be conveniently in the same place! Admittedly, I've never developed a ROM nor uploaded anything to Devhost, but I have never seen a complain about it or server crashes before

I've used HostGator for years (about 4 years now, to be exact), and have never had any major problems with them. Yeah, they've had occassional outtages, but have been online about 99.5% of the time, and been prompt with fixing any problems that come up.
They're fast, efficient, offer cPanel (and all of the stuff that comes with), and even SSH access. The prices are pretty good, and customer support is great. You can be up and running within an hour of purchase, and know that you're backed by a quality company.

Never use godady.com, they totally freak you out..

Use any site but just dont use devhost

4Shared: is perfect!
Nice management for files!
2Shared: is also good because there are no ads or maybe a few little ones.
For my friends am i using 2shared and for big files and much files am i using 4Shared for the management like i said!
To give you another one that works:
Zippyshare: it has much ads but i awesomely good working
Like you see in one of my older posts ( datafilehost.com )
That stays the best one and i´ḿ using that always and as second mirrors am i using 4shared and 2Shared and sometimes Zippshare!

Only Hosgator and GoDaddy are the providers that I trust. I think that they have proven themselves over the years already.

4shared is not permitted on XDA though. Requires registration to download... To its site, or a social media site.
Either is anything else requiring any kind of registration.
And any pay per click advertising links are out too.
Only sites that go directly to the download, without clicking ads, or accounts on any site, are permitted.
Food for thought. :good:
Edit: one more... Sites that contain free paid apps (warez) are not allowed either.

Hostinger. It has free domain .xyz, name with it looks cool.

Personally I use Dropbox. These days it has a public share function that doesn't require registration (you can simply close the popup.) Google Drive is also an option.
Zippyshare also works well, particularly for larger files. It doesn't require registration for a speed above 10Kbps, unlike most. I have to share a lot of large files, Zippy works well if you can't use cloud storage. Haven't seen a lot of advertising on it, but then I'm using Adblock and Noscript.
And then there's the regular file hosts, uploaded.net, uploadfiles.eu, tusfiles.net, turbobit.net, userscloud.com, etcetera.
Of course it's not a good idea to use any filehosting site that features advertising when you send the link to someone who's technologically handicapped. For those I just use WeTransfer, because the idiots kept clicking on the fake Download buttons....
