[Android General] bmxmike:
Get 36TB of cloud storage for FREE!!

PROOF

How would you like 36TB's of storage?? FOR FREE!!!

So who is offering this? Qihoo 360, which is some Chinese company, only information I could find: is a Chinese company best known for its antivirus software. I would advise you to be cautious I haven't use any of the services yet and it does require you to download a desktop app and mobile client. You can delete these after all is setup and everything will stay you don't have to have them installed but you must install them to get the extra space.

*NOTE:

This is a Chinese company, use your best judgment on what you store. I do not plan on storing sensitive information on here or any type of data that you would hate to loose or for someone else to get their hands on; that's what Dropbox, OneDrive, Share, Copy, and all the other secure cloud hosts are for and why you get a limited amount of free storage I'm a Network Technican in a call center and have tons of non sensitive stats, reports, and recording that we use just to track progress of the system that is in multiple locations so this give me another backup and will remove it off my computer at home atleast. I have 3 other backups to the data this is just another avenue so if all my stuff get's deleted I'm not at a loss, nor if anyone happens to get access to my account and look through it they'll see lots of numbers and data but nothing that's gonna hurt me or anyone else and more or less just annoy someone looking at the data trying to find a meaning.

Think of it this way:

NOTE: If you have any problems or troubles and can't figure something out I suggest this trick. Download the new Google Translate app off of Play store and use the new camera feature!! This made everything simple (had use 2 phones) because all I had to do was take a picture of the screen I was stuck at to find out the translation.

So lets go ahead and start. Here are the steps to getting setup:

1. Go to http://yunpan.360.cn

2. You should see a blue and white screen with a login box towards the right with some scrolling images to the left. Click the blue text at the bottom of the forum.

3. You should now be on a registration screen, here is the translation:

Welcome to register 360 cloud disk

Email (Mailbox)

Password (6-20 Characters)

Confirm Password

Verification Code (Not Case Sensitive)

I have read and agree to the "360 User Terms of Service"

Sign up now

4. You should then be redirected to a site with a green android looking guy and instructions to check your email to activate. You have 48 hours.

5. After you've verified your email go to http://down.360safe.com/yunpan/360wangpan_setup.exe to download the Qihoo 360 Windows Client

6. Once you have everything downloaded and install run the application

7. When the application first starts you should get a login screen (blue box) that has 2 tabs. Here is the translation:

Tab 1: Ordinary Login | Tab 2: Seamless Login

360 Account Login

Account

Password

Remember Password | Automatic Login

Log in

Forgot Password (Under log in button)

Note: If you get a pop up while logging in means you haven't activated your account yet

8. After you log in you should see that you start with 360GB, and after your first login you should get a pop-up like this:

Translation:

Congratulation

Obtain large cloud disk space permanently

"Something about how many harddrives it equals"

Click to receive

9. If you click the link you should now be at 10.4 TB, but what about the other 26TB?

10. To get the other 26TB you have to install the Android app which is the reason for me posting this so we can get it translated!

11. Download link for the android app: http://down.360safe.com/yunpan/360yunpan_android.apk (There is an iOS app)

12. Install the downloaded apk, one weird thing is that the app seemed to auto close on tablet. I used and old junk tablet we let the kids play with incase it was infected.

13. Open the app and this is where maybe someone can shed some light as I didn't translate the splash screen so I'm not sure what the 2 options are for. I can tell you that option 1 (Blue) will only allow you to enter a phone number but not sure what it's linked back to. Option 2 the grey option is the one that we want as we already created a 360 account.

14. Click the grey 360 tab to open the login screen

15. Input your email, pass and login (This is actually in english if your phone is set to english)

16. Press the login button and BAM 26TB instantly!!!!

17. I can't move around the app very well in Chinese but if you go back to your desktop client and check your space it should be at 36.4TB now!!!

Thats it! If you look at the first screen shot you will see it lists 36.4TB the second shot is initial setup showing the 360GB
