I seen this when i started you need to complete 5 of the steps:

You're 1 step away from a 48 GB bonus!

The seven quests below will teach you how to get the most out of your Dropbox. Finish at least five of them and we'll give you a reward!

unfortunatly not. the Get Started and the Get More Space only increase you space by a few incrimates of 250mb. not mjch at all. I believe the 50gb was a early promotion and I wasn't around for it. grrrr

**nappp** · 02-17-2013, 09:24 AM

you're right. I never got 5. only 2gb

**xamdam** · 02-17-2013, 09:25 AM

Oh so not everyone gets the promo

Ah to bad, i think the 250mb is for when you get friends to sign up.

I use the Box app available in App World. But I also have the Dropbox app sideloaded and also I sideloaded ES file Explorer and there is some integration there too. Works well for streaming media in the cloud directly onto the PlayBook.

I use a free dropbox which i increased to 18 gb by signing up a lot of my contacts
dopbox is for business

Thank on the Playbook is use files and folders which works well for me
F and F allows me to email my files which i need when on the road

the only problem is that it stores .msg files, but you can not open them and mail them
and I use my BOX 50 gg as a second beck up

and I use google clouds for my private stuff, like pictures and documents

**hreiner1** · 02-17-2013, 11:01 AM

What I really would need is native contact database app for the PB which i could sync with my MS Outlook contacts
I have about 24,000 contacts in Outlook which does not sync properly with a gmail account, even with a professional gmail account
I need the contact and my notes when on the road, so I still have to bring my laptop when traveling

is anyone out there who does syncing the MS contacts and calendre with a gmail account,

thank for your assistance

opps that 155gb oc space so far just from box.net Awezome.

5gb is from my original account.

I also have my 50.25gb of free space from dropbox that's a lot of space now 255gb total is plenty enough for me.

I can like many others create more accounts, but why be so selfish lol

After going through this thread a few times, I have concluded that there is no auto sync method between PlayBook and "the cloud". Did I miss something?

In a nutshell, yep that's correct.
With exception to calendar, contacts, and email.

Edit: unless you sideloaded apps like the ones listed below, which I was unaware of.

In a nutshell, this is not true. Both the sideloaded Sugarsync and Dropbox apps allow you to set them to auto upload any new photos or videos that appear in your Camera folder. SugarSync also has some additional 2 way folder sync capabilities.

**nappp** · 02-18-2013, 11:41 AM

I don't use the auto upload feature, but the sideloaded dropbox app works flawlessly. it can do everything the website can do for my needs. never freezes or crashes

**Well spoken man** · 02-19-2013, 08:35 AM

Asus WebStorage has the autoupload feature for camera pictures but I have no interest in pictures-just files like spreadsheets or documents. Does that change any responses about SugarSync or Dropbox?

**nappp** · 02-19-2013, 10:13 AM

then I say the dropbox app or files and folders will do just fine for your needs. files amd folders has box access and that site gives you the most space at 50gb if you use the dell signup link
