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.

You just need to log in from your LG phone, use the Play Store app.

Nice, Thanks for the heads up. Never used Box, didn't really have a reason, but thats too good to pass up. I got it now lol
I already use Googe Drive and Dropbox...but free 50GB for 2 mins of signing up, why not I guess lol

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.
Thanks for the info, 50gb free is nice.

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.

As the title says, I have 1 new AT&T Tilt available. I am asking 350 shipped money order, add fees if paypal. If you are outside of the US we will discuss shipping charges. I will unlock the device and load the OS of choice (my unreleased 6.1 variant available) for those that do not want to do so themselves. I am paypal verified and will provide the paypal address via PM. The devices come with all original accessories. If you have any questions feel free to post or PM (I have finally cleared my PM box). Photos will be up later today or tomorrow dependent on when I have the chance to upload them.

yes, I can install duttys latest and apply all fixes, that's not a problem. As for shipping I will be using fedex priority overnight which is guaranteed by 10:30am in most cases. The package will be insured for $550 the retail value of the device and tracking will be provided as soon as item is shipped.

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.

eh still would need more, sense is crap imo.
While DropBox is a very useful service, I'm in search of free cloud-based storage for my mom to host her HD videos of her granddaughter... She has hit the 2.5GB cap with just a few files, and I refuse to pay for extra storage, when I know that better options certainly exist... I'll just setup a file server at my house if I have to... But that's not practical for her uses... She was trying to email a 300MB video and getting angry that the server was rejecting it, LMAO!!!
So does anyone know of any other free cloud-based storage she could use instead? As much storage space as possible is obviously a super plus, with the ability to publicly link to them, and the ability to stream them, rather than download them would be great too, but not required...
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Brian
MODS: Huge sorry, could this thread be moved to the proper forum?
Questions and Answers
Box.net does 50GB accounts for free. Not sure if there's a file-size limit, but you can make folders public via a URL. There's definitely no streaming though, but still... 50GB!!
I'm just waiting for Google to sort out Drive and give me more than 5GB free. I will pay for more when I need it, but I expect they'll have upped the cap by that point as I only really use it for visual studio and eclipse projects, and they're basically text files.
There's also a referral thread in off-topic, where people give you their links to join up so you both get a bit of extra space. I know of sugarsync too, but I'm not sure what their deal is. Worth a google at any rate.

There was a "hack" in XDA that allowed you to get 50GB for Box, but it stands no longer. Wupload.com gives you 750GB free, but I dunno how reliable it is...

I also tried it at Best Buy, and the clerk was annoyed that I wanted to try. He said that it never works, and wasn't worth trying. I still have yet to find a store that can even take it. A friend mentioned McDonald's as a place to try, but I have yet to try.

If the tap to pay terminal lights up then it should work.

Tap to pay is an awesome way to pay for stuff, but stores just need to step up with the times. There's this card thing where you can put multiple cards on one card, but if you could just use your phone, it would be a lot easier.

Exactly. I always just look for the little lights and if they're lit up then I try Tap and Pay otherwise I just use my normal credit card.

I have used it at CVS.
I have used it a few times at Rite Aid. Remember you have to be unlocked and online for it to work.
I have been using my Google Wallet debit card a lot since my usual debit card was part of the Target mess.

I'm pleased to announce that I had my first successful purchase last night using tap and pay. I drove to McDonald's after hearing that they accept it, and it worked perfectly. The cashier thought I was some sort of wizzard, and I had to explain to her exactly what I just did.
I'm not sure how practical it is, but is sure is nifty.
? lol. I've gotten the wizard thing too..

Finally got mine to work this weekend at CVS in NOLA. My buddies were all excited to see someone using NFC to pay for stuff and I was excited it actually worked.
Best Buy intentionally disabled it on their systems, even though the hardware supports it. I did get mine to work flawlessly at McDonalds.
Installed the Nexus 5 Wallet APK. Works great if the POS system supports it.
Walgreen's in my area disables their pay wave machines for some odd reason too??
Been using it since I got my Galaxy Nexus way back when. I love it.
