Hi,
I know that there are many people already using dropbox out there. With clients for Windows, Mac, iOS, Android and WinMo the software is simply awesome.
Most of you will know as well, that you can extend your free space by referring people. Usually you'll get 250 MB extra per referral. I just discovered however, that it's possible to double this extra space to 500 MB. This works for new referrals AND for already referred people!
The maximum free space thereby increases to great 16 GB!
What you have to:
1. You'll need a dropbox account. Don't have one yet? Sign up here: http://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTI0MDk3ODM5
(Of course you don't need to use my reflink. You can simply visit the website and sign up. But firstly I'd really be thankful for using it and secondly you'll get another 250 MB if you use a reflink.)
2. You'll need an educational e-mail adress. It doesn't need to end with .edu though. Don't have one? Search for free educational e-mail adresses. If you understand german you could e.g. sign up with www.uni.de EDIT: uni.de adresses seem not to be accepted by dropbox anymore. Try looking for alternatives if you don't have an educational adress yet.
3. Log in to your existing dropbox account. Then enter https://www.dropbox.com/edu into your browser. On the website enter your (educational) e-mail and confirm the sent e-mail.
Done. Your free space per referral should now be doubled.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Becksman

WTF? I guess this translates to Fabulous Awesome Proposal and is your way of thanking for the hint?
No. It means I'd rather yank than give you the satisfaction of more storage space.
Besides, MediaFire is the way to go
it's funny though, you have just enough posts to let you include links, and this is what you give us. Spam.
Where's the clown when you need him? Must be a busy week for the mods...
OK, now I get it. Though I don't understand why you're upset. The reason why I posted this is not to share my reflink, but to pass on a useful hint, which I was thankful to learn about. I didn't really see anything wrong in including the link
Well, the Uni.de approach didn't work for me (it was invalid on Dropbox.com/edu) but I used your referral link nonetheless. Thanks!
Well,i like media fire....

Yay...? Have you ever used dropbox? It's nothing like a simple file hosting service, it keeps a dedicated folder in explorer/nautilus/finder synced with their servers.
Cool trick, I don't have any need for it but I'll be sure to pass it on
Double post, my bad.
I think they actually utilize a pre-determined domain list now, as I tried to make use a californiacolleges.edu email address (which the side will allow anyone to make an email account) and it was not accepted, even though it is a .edu.
Thanks for the tip. Had to find my old college email, but doubled my space...cool.
I guess my school isn't on that list.
edit: Sorry, didn't realize how old this thread was. Followed a link from someone's signature.

Hi All!!
I'm the one who submits the least to this comunity, i think but!
As i read n searches trough these threads i realise one thing.
there's a need 4 hosting files. I can help with that.
Catch is the maximum file size is i have to split the files so downloaders must download multiple files. If that's not a problem i can help with that.
I can host rar's n images so You smart guy's can have your files accessible 4 a long as needed and free. I even have a gmail adress to send files to me so i can upload them to the site....
If you think that's something 4 you post here and i'll try to answer any questions you might have..
Cheers......
Edit : Sorry moderators or admins! I forgot where in the forum i were
Moved as not ROM Development..
Many of us use free hosting services as Mediafire/4shared free also flip provides mirrors on his site for some chefs etc etc...
I know some of you use those free file hosting services but i read from time to time about the need for hosting or mirrors.
I can help with a "one-click per file" link that could be usefull 4 some if not all users.
Please tell me if you like the idea or how i can help.....
I'm sure someone will find your offer useful. It's nice of you to offer.

That's right, bro!
If someone need a link 4 a file or several files please email [email protected] and i reply with links to the files ASAP.
The files r to be uploaded to one of my sites.
i have 1.5 Gb disk space / site but maximum number of files are 5K.
The maximum file size is 5 Mb but i'll split them 4 ya!
Time spent on a medium ROM are about 5 minutes
The only thing i need to know is your XDA nic and i'll trust it's not xxx or something....
Someone on the MoDaCo forum set something up similar so thought i would bring the idea over to here
Sign up via here and get 2.25gb instead of 2gb for free!
The person who you choose to support will also get 250mb!
Choose who you want to support and click their link!
I have decided is to limit the number of links to 20 accounts... then each time 1 account has been filled a space will open up for someone new!!
0 spaces left
A least this way there wont get too many names and no-one not getting anywhere...
Thanks

When you sign up for dropbox through their website you only get 2GB storage (online) but if you join dropbox through some referral you and the one who referred you both get 250 MB extra. so basically you get 2,25 GB instead of 2 GB.
Can I suggest we do this in order of listing? if you use the first free referral, then post stating who's you have used and your referral link if you want people to use?
To confirn then, I have used Flasflash's and my link is : https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTcwNjMyMjY5
Will add the codes to first post when I get home

I bought ROM manager premium through the paypal link in the app. Now that i've moved back to the N1 from the NS (i bought it when i was on the NS), i don't see any way to activate premium features without paying again. am i missing something?

I'm not a Twitter pro or anything... but I think as long as you preface your tweet by @koush, he'll see your message and will probably respond. He's a good guy and won't screw you over...so just get in touch with him.
ok thanks guys just did it. hope it works.
Does the rom transfer between phones? Just asking--
Can you copy your TB backup or whole sd card from the s to n sd card so the n sees those apps and knows you have rom mgr

You can probably also get his email by clicking on 'Send email to the developer'.
Actually, just checked, you don't even have to click on it. His email is right there on the page.
You know every app on the Market has the developer's email, right?

yeah i knew about that, but i'm still getting used to the new market layout (that, and a brain fart). I tried the website but it looks like it's no longer up. thanks again everyone!
Now i feel really dumb, esp. since i've gotten help from other app devs the same way in the past.
Sorry, I just re-read my message and it sounds kind of snarky. Don't feel bad for forgetting about that, everyone has brain farts.

thanks for the apology, but i didn't take it that way.
Honestly, after seeing your response the first time, I just felt so dumb. I didn't get the app from the market, but I should've known to check there anyway.
dude doesn't respond to tweets or emails. Starting to piss me off.
if i would have known trying to save 1 dollar was gonna cause me this much headache.....
join the crowd
never got a response
now use amon_ra
I have the exact same problem. I tried to contact him by email but he does not reply. Will try to contact him via Twitter.
It really pisses me off.
Just wanted to see if this got rectified? I recently did the reverse of the OP. Switched from the Nexus One up to the Nexus S. Premium isn't showing up on the NS.
nope. I just won't support the dev anymore. if one really wants to pay for this app, go thru the market. the dollar isn't worth the headache.
also waiting for response
i also buyed via Paypal cause i dont have a credit card (Market only accept Credit-card)
i changed rom and cannot activat premium features
will try to get money back from paypal (45days!)
hope he will response in next few days
greetings
If it were me, I would find alternative means of getting the software. You already paid for the license. If the dev don't wanna support his own product, either don't use it, or find another place to download it. There are many places to obtain android apps.
I don't like spreading this because I support the developers and truly appreciate the work they do. But I also don't like to see ppl cheated out of their money whether it was intentional or not. I'll tell you how to get that app from the market without paying. Just shoot me a pm.
Sent from my Motorola Olympus
I am another person who bought via PayPal, thinking it would save me $1 and put more $ in the developers pocket rather than the Android market taking it. I originally purchased it back in January 2011 and now cannot get my new device to show that it is the premium version without purchasing on the Android Market... Did anyone find a solution to this or get a reply from Koush?
So, anyone afraid of dropbox now, lol.

For the average user they can't cause any harm for storing music files or videos to have access to them elsewhere. So no reason for me to stop using it.
I sense lawsuits from somebody.
To add some facts to that: Dropbox already modified these changes, clearifying that those are legal terms they need to technically operate their service.
Read the lower part of this post: thinq.co.uk/2011/7/3/dropbox-terms-service-target-your-stuff/
A Dropbox spokesman:
Some of you have written us with very understandable concerns about the legal-sounding parts. In particular, our new TOS talks about the licenses we need to run Dropbox. We want to be 100% clear that you own what you put in your Dropbox. We don’t own your stuff. And the license you give us is really limited. It only allows us to provide the service to you. Nothing else

However, users should be alarmed.
Yeah, came across this at bleeding cool. Com, from a Greg Rucka twitter (comic book writer), thought there would be some interest here. The main point someone was putting forth is that we are not the customers with dropbox/Facebook etc, we are the Product/Merchandise ...
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Shady! I haven't trusted (or used) Facebook for many months now. If you investigate their history it's more than a little sketchy. They don't want your information ... 'just because'.
It's really not that shady; it's just a bunch of legal jargon stemming from outdated laws they have to put into the agreement to protect themselves when storing millions of people's personal file's. Nothing will come of this, because there's no way a lawsuit will be able to get anything out of them

I know its kinda backward, but depending on the size of stuff just email it to yourself. With the size of hotmail and gmail these days a few gigs worth of attachments might just be ok. And if there 'stories', ie your a writer IIRC you've just copyrighted your work by mailing it to yourself (someone might want to clairify or correct that statement, just a thought bouncing around in my poor brain, lol).

Dear All Users and Devs,
I am offering Free FTP / HTTP access to a Dedicated, Hosted Server.
There are no bandwidth limitations nor are there any space limitations.
I will give you your own sub-domain based on your XDA user name and you can link to it directly for allowing people to download your work from an Add Free Server. All downloads are instantly started and there are no add supported web pages presented in the process.
Upon request of an account I will PM you your user name and password and instructions of how to link to a file after you have uploaded to the server via FTP.
I offer this for one simple reason, I want to help out our Dev and make it faster for the users of XDA to gain access to there work.
Why do I offer it for free...... Other than the fact I'm a nice guy.... Simple, I paid for the hosted server for a total of 3 years in one lump sum and have found myself not making use of it so rather than let it do nothing and my money be wasted, I offer it to the member of my Favorite site, XDA-Developers.
So, if you want an account for hosting your work or might want to use such a server in the future then Just PM me, I have no problems if you simply want the account setup and you don't use it straight away, I will not remove inactive accounts as they don't cost me anything to have there and I know how useful it can be to have available should you need it, even if its not for use with XDA.
If you want advanced statistics of your monthly traffic, I will be happy to email you every month with a PDF of your own sub domain. This will include vast amount of information regarding the time of day people download your work and even which files are downloaded and how many times.
If you have any questions, Just PM me.
Kind Regards

Hey there,
How long is left on the 3 years paid you mentioned???? This is a great idea! And generous too! I am thinking of PM'ing you as I have a number of files I would like to move from dev-host as they delete files after a certain period of no downloads........
This has to be running out by now??????
