Extra storage for Nexus 4

[JohnBB101]

In case you didn't try it after Fairclough's reply, I just came across this: Current promotions offered by Box:

Android:

LG phones and tablets: Download Box for Android on your device and sign in to get a 50GB upgrade automatically. Valid through 12/31/13. Get more details.
Sony Xperia devices: Download Box for Android on your smartphone or tablet and log in to get a 50GB upgrade automatically. Valid through 12/31/13. Get more details.

I had to locate the post (first find which forum), but it's still available!

It still works fine! Got Lifetime 50GB free storage.

I think Box is giving all new accounts 50 gigs now. You dont have to trick them anymore.

But i'm sure none of the cloud allow you to store things more than 1gb.. Am i right?

From what I have seen, you have two options; Cloud or USB OTG.

For Cloud storage, Box.Com has gotten pretty good. They give you 50 gigs and the app is surprisingly easy to use. Dropbox is better IMO, but I think they only offer 5 gigs; I still use dropbox the most though. Google now allows you to use a unified storage of 15 gigs among your gmail, drive, and picasa accounts, and you get that for free. For Photos, Flikr offers an insane 1 terabyte of storage for free, but they officially only allow you to store images there. I have not had a chance to try out Flikr yet. But a lot of major 3rd party apps like Pictarine are already supporting it.

Google's main flaw in designing the Nexus 4 is the lack of SD support. You can get around this, sorta, with USB OTG. Using a special cable, you can hook up USB thumb drives to your phone via the Micro USB port. The process is a little messy though, and you need an external power source for the drive (the phone can't power it), but it is better than nothing. It will allow you to use the Nexus 4 like a computer to read and write to any USB drive.

That is not a design "flaw" having an 8 and 16 GB model, it is a design choice. There is a big difference .

I've downloaded the Box and Foldersync apps, but I'm not sure what to do from here. So far, I only have some pics that I would put in the cloud. I did discover today, that I can download/stream music from Amazon Cloud that I already had there from when I used to have a Kindle Fire. That was pretty easy to get to compared to my N4. I'm pretty confused about data transfer to/from the N4. I guess it's a lot different from the N10 which I also have. I guess going to the Box Cloud would be an easy way to transfer files off of the N4 and then from the Box cloud to my pc? Thanks for any help.

Like designing a car with a missing wheel or radio is a design choice.

No, because then the car would not be functional.

It's more like the difference between designing an SUV as opposed to a sports car. Both perform different tasks.

At least you tried.

I'm surprised no ones tried soldering more memory in

you can download the App "Foldersync" in the market and it allows you to acess all these cloud drives like sugarsync, box.net, dropbox, skydrive, Dump Truck, SugarSync, Ubuntu One, LiveDrive, HiDrive, NetDocumentsamazon, google drive(Google Docs) all with this one app so you can have all the multiple cloud drive and internal memory and use this app as you file browser. best 3 bucks ive spent in the market

It's more comparable to designing a car with a smaller trunk.

Unless a wheel counts as storage, which wouldn't make sense.

Has anyone tried a Leef Bridge USB flash drive? It has a micro-USB connector that can fit compatible smartphones and tablets. Unfortunately, I don't think it will work with a Nexus 4 because I think the Leef Bridge needs OTG support.

 

[Fairclough]

Nexus 4 can be flashed with a ROM to support it
