I have a lot of important stuff in the Cloud, mostly Dropbox, and I do get concerned about losing it. cloudHQ lets me sync Dropbox to Google Drive, and/or Box, Evernote, etc.
If you want to try it out, would you use my referral link, please? Thanks.

Hey folks,
Sorry to post such a 'simple' question, but I can't seem to google up the right words to find what I'm looking for -- and the links I did find didn't give me much personal opinions of different services.
I recently lost Sync options with my work (yay economy and licensing costs).. I loved using Outlook to sync my calender from MS Exchange to my phone... and I could use OWA to enter in my calender events from my computer. It also allowed my calender to survive flashes w/o backups.
I can't survive without my calender syncing, since the change i'm late to work constantly (I used to enter my shifts in OWA w/reminders 2 hours before to make sure I'm moving early enough to get ready & to work on time -- In case I'm watching a movie with the dog and don't notice the time)
I found 2 solutions, but both are around Google's calender, which I'm not super keen on, but could work:
1. Google Calender Mobile Website -- My understanding is it does reminders by SMS(?) and is mostly managed by google -- not the phone.
2. GooSync / OogSync -- Looks like it'll sync right into the phone's native calender -- But I didnt see verification of it syncing with the native calender, and/or if it supports making sure my reminders & other 'extra' information is sync'ed
I don't want to give Microsoft any money for outlook, so what do you all use :-/
Thanks guys, again, sorry for posting this issue without spending 3 hours researching first :-/ but getting a headache from trying to find a solution!
So, My needs:
1) Bi-directional Sync
2) Extra Information (e.g. Reminders) Sync
3) Easy entry/editing of calender info from a computer
Hopes:
4) Can work behind corporate firewalls blocking gmail, yahoo mail, etc.
5) Task Syncing
Thanks guys, love XDA

Possible ways to sync
Unfortunately the easiest way would be to sync through outlook.
Though your company may have cut licensing cost ask the IT gurus if your company may have an agreement with MS. It's called Home Use Program (HUP) LINK.
If they do you can buy a full office pack for home use for ~ $20 which is definitely worth doing it. Afterwards simply maintain your contacts at your home PC and sync them through the PC. You may export them out of your office outlook either as PAB or CSV file and import at home. AFAIK this doesn't work with outlook express, you need a full blown office outlook.
You may also look at the link below if this would do it for you.

Perhaps you have a friendly IT group. Download the attached file, rename ZIP to PDF and take a look, it may work in your environment.
have you tried mail2web? its outlook (OWA), syncs with your phone (email, contacts, calender, etc..) and you can also manage it on your computer. Best of all, its free http://exchange.mail2web.com/
Hmmm.. with e-mail forwarding from my gmail to this that might actually work out well... save battery life on checking multiple e-mail accounts...
In case someone stumbles on this, link to account setup is: http://services.mail2web.com/Services/exchangesolutions.asp
Took a bit of searchign to find that page, most of their stuff advertises their paid services.... I'll give the free one a try, if I like it I'd be willing to pay (or at least donate) for it
instead of Mail2web try out seven, mail forwarding service. found here, i swear by it, it's been such a good service, you do have to sign up but it remembers you, so if you switch to another phone, ROM, etc your e-mail account(s) will be saved and you can add multiple accounts, and set times for mail forwarding. I'm not sure about contacts, but it asks every time i restart it if i want to import my contacts from g-mail. it's definitely worth a try.
Just wondered what cloud services your folks were using?
Dropbox isn;t big enough so was thinking of trying Amazon cloud drive.
Anybody here tried anything else

I personally use sugar sync. I know the free account for drop box is 2gb, where as the free one for sugarsync is 5gb. I like how I dont have to keep accessing the "drop box" area because with sugar sync I just right click a folder and add it to the list of folders it syncs adn I can store it where ever I want on my computer.
I have heard mixed views on the android app and I don't use it so I cant comment on that but the pc/mac portion of the app is awesome.
I use Amazon Cloud Drive just for my music. I think they are still running the "if you buy an mp3 cd from us you get 20GB of space free for a year" promo. I have not ventured into cloud drives for any purpose other than storing my music, I usually have my laptop or tablet with me for that purpose.
There are several Cloud Solutions now a days and difficult to select the BEST .
As far as cloud sync for folder, files, documents, music, movies and even few documents and pictures sync from Mobile there are several.
I see below are among the major players Sugersync, DropBox, Amazon Cloud Drive and bit of Sky Drive too but I love the new SugerSync .
For Mobile Sycn like Contacts, Calender and SMS Microsoft's My Phone was the BEST but as they are closing their service soon we have other option with Google Sync (but without SMS service).
I dont know why Microsoft Licensed ActiveSync to Google and loosing all the Sync market .
Cheers!!!

SNS and SNSAccount are used to sync/backup/restore/fetch your contacts (and calendar) from your SNS accounts (e.g. google).
Do not freeze them if some of your contacts are saved to your google account, or if you use another SNS app (facebook, twitter, google, samsung, viber, whatsapp, etc)). The same goes for Google Contacts Sync and Google Calendar Sync.
Also, I wouldn't freeze DRM. Judging by its name, it's used to authorize applications that use DRM.
Lastly, this doesn't belong here. It's not even Ace related.

Thanks.
I guess you are right you can put this everywhere. :S But yea I do this on my ace phone that is why it is here I mean why not many people only search their phone and don't look at general things.
Hi there,
I don't know whether this is the right place for my inquiry:
I'm searching an notes APP that can be used as shopping list and which can be synchronized to several devices (Androids). YES there are plenty of those available in the market. But mostly they use their own server and I have to register. In many cases you have to provide your google account - then I'm not able to synchronize to my wive's mobile (with her own account). Maybe there are possibilities with google drive or dropbox etc. but instead of working with high fancy tools, why not simply having a notepad that synchronizes through a FTP - this is what I have anyhow and I can give access to whom I want.
Does anyone of you out there has an idea how to get it done?
Many thanks !!
Wolf
there`s No idea?
Still nothing ?
When in the gallery page, and I want to "share" as video or picture my options of programs to use is- messages, facebook, htc share, Mail (but this is my work account- I want gmail), picasa, dropbox (can I change to google drive?), bluetooth and flick for hts sense.
I want to use gmail, not my work account, but cannot figure out how to change that email account. Also, I use Google drive not dropbox, can this be changed as well?
Tried to delete the thread, but couldn't figure that out. Didn't realize that I could scroll down further past the first screen, doh....
