You should also add skydrive, you can sync with that as well using sorami. You get 25 GB of storage, it says for Microsoft office Docs and photos, but I put files, movies and apps as well on there.

Re: Free Cloud Storage for online backup (so far 48.75 Gb's free)

I have studied the Carbonite and Mozy, and select the main fact that you do not have a special folder in your backup target file structure, chaos, Mozy's. Through the use of its advanced features, you can also go back up.Carbonite your hard drive to create a backup, if you want to check the folder.

Maybe I just don't know what I'm doing. I've tried everything in editing that build.prop file and it keeps saying I cannot edit because it is read only. Can you pm me the build.prop already edited or add it here?

Which file explorer app are you using? If your using root explorer, once in the system folder you'll see across the top of the screen "mounted as r/o" with a "mount r/w" button right next to it. Click the mount r/w button to make it read/writable and try again. If that doesn't work I'll set up an account for ya.

Edit: just signed ya up for an account..check pm for more info!!

One other question. Just to make sure I understand.

Now that I edited the file to an LG device, even tho I have an HTC Evo 3D. I'm rooted but running stock rom. I should re edit the file back to original? Or I can delete the edited file, and replace with original or back up that I made of it. Is this correct?

Re: Free Cloud Storage for online backup(so far 48.75 Gb's free) + 50Gb offer ends 12

didn't see youe edit til after I posted

Cool glad it's working for ya now. Yeah either way will work for ya.. just copy/paste the original back into /system overwriting the (lg)edited or you could just re-edit the file back to manufacturer=HTC , model=PG86100.(not sure if its case-sensitive but I'd treat is as it was just in case). Rebooting afterwards should get you back to the defaulted build.prop. (can always double-check to be sure)

Thanks lnando this worked perfectly. I wanted to add that if you log off the box app and register with a different email address it will give you another 50GB on that email address. I guess to infinity (so far I've done it on 4 email addresses).:)

Give MyPC Backup a test drive. They are new to online storage scene but are doing great job of getting it right. One of its best feature is the unlimited storage space.

Re: Free Cloud Storage for online backup(so far 48.75 Gb's free) + 50Gb offer ends 3/

PC Online Backup provides one of the best cloud storage solution. Along with free GB it offers unique features like No File Type Restrictions, Unlimited File Size Limit, Access Files anywhere and more such excellent features. Although Cloud Storage Industry have different variants even some of the providers offer up to 50 GB free cloud storage. With different features and specifications. But My PC Backup provides user friendly storage to store, share and access virtually.

It really depends on what you use it for. To me, reliability and cross platform compatibility are two most important things. I use Dropbox to sync documents that I use frequently, and Sky Drive for music, books, and misc records that I only need sporadically. It would be nice to have a couple hundred gig to back up my photos and videos, but otherwise I am just fine with these two services.
