Actually we are testing it on WM 6.5 and WM 6.5.5.

The app will be in Fullscreen (so no standard-task/bottombar), that's why it is not affected by the bigger bottombar.

Still I cannot understand why they had to change the bottombar size, as really lots of apps have problems with it...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] iridium21:
Any news on a release date for this?

Oh, and if anyone wants an additional 250MB adding to a new dropbox account, just use this link when you sign up:

Dropbox Extra 250MB

I've got to say that I've found Dropbox really useful so far - but it'll be even better with this WM app!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Pere:
Yes I'm checking your Web continuously... please go on!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dumdidum:
We are unfortunately still waiting for some answers by Dropbox, but I hope that we can release the public beta next week. Until then, we are busy implementing some new features and testing for bugs :-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ephestione:
as much happy as I am that, first or third party that it is, there will be an app for WM to access my dropbox account, can you give any official source for this news?

I am extremely irritated by the fact that the iStupidPad has not been released in europe yet, and it's already got its official client, while on the other side there is an incredible amount of users around the globe with a WM device they use for work and there's no such thing for pocketpc.

Oh and by the way, this should be implied, but saying it openly is surely better, great job! :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] GatuRatz:
Hi,

when will it be ready for the devices with smaller display like the HTC-Touch-Dual?

edit: I just see that you have updated your website....

Ok, when will the version for all resolutions be available? ;-)

Thanks and br,

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dumdidum:
Hi

Actually the first public beta will be release this week. We have resolved naming issues with Dropbox, and are now finishing the latest bits and bytes.

Keep looking our website :-)

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ephestione:
I still would love to know by you if you have any insider information as of why/what/how/when dropbox decided NOT to release a WM version, because in the first post you sounded like you knew something more about it ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dumdidum:
Hi

Actually they did not say they will never release a Windows Mobile Client, but it is not on their priority list. As WM 6.5 will be over soon, they will for sure not release an own client anymore.

For WP7, I dont know yet. We'll have a discussion with them and see if there are plans for WP7. If not, we will be there to fill the gap. Unfortunately, as WP7 is limited in filesystem like the iPhone is, some features that are now in the 6.5 App will not be possible in WP7 (Multidownload/upload)

We'll see, WP7 is still a long wait...

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Pere:
IMHO, WM6.5.5 will be the last real professional WM revision. WM7 is just a toy for young people. If you add the fact that, due to hardware limitations (multitouch screen) a lot of great devices can't use WM7,... bye bye Windows Mobile..... (Welcome Android or who knows?) As a veteran WM user, I belive that WM6.5 will be the pinnacle of Windows mobile...and its end as well...

Checking your web EVERY few hours!!!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ephestione:
I am apparently missing somethng, as just now I actually checked one by one the features :D

That your app was *not* going to synch the whole dropbox on a mobile was not only clear from your previous posts in here, but also due to a simple assumption for very practical reasons... but the feature list is missing something that I would have expected: a function to set which files to auto-synch with the remote dropbox just like what the desktop clients do with the whole folder structure.

For example, I would never want to synch on my mobile the 2GB encrypted volume containing mixed kind of data (Especially because there's no truecrypt for WM), but on the other side, I would like the WM app to let me select, for example, the KeePass database to have it in automatic synch with the remove servers :)

Unfortunately we have to disappoint you. Currently, the Dropbox API does not support automatic nor delta syncing, so its not possible to implement it at this time. This might change as the API is evolving.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Pere:
:o I'm sorry....already done!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dumdidum:
Thanks :-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ephestione:
dang! ;)

Well nevermind, like this your app doesn't offer much more functionaliy than what a browser connection does... but it's heaps easier, nicer and faster than using a browser! :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dumdidum:
:-) I'm sure the app will do a lot more than just the web-version of dropbox :-) You'll see...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ephestione:
I'm eager to! :) I'm not the kind of guy who would be suited to be a closed beta tester, but I will be installing the app as soon as it's in open beta for sure ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Pere:
Just received the Beta app as Beta tester. Looks amazing!. I'll test this week end and will report you regarding performance.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dumdidum:
Thanks Pere, glad you like it!

Anyone who is interested in beta-testing, please send us an email to info(nospam)ruttensoft.com. Please do not post the download link anywhere, as Dropbox told us to to limit the beta test until May 5. After that, we will go public with the beta-test.

Dropbox itself will announce something new on May 4.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ephestione:
wonder what that'll be, probably you know but are keeping this for yourself or PM contacts (hint hint ;) )
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dumdidum:
Actually I do not know more (really :-))

But I guess it will be the much-anticipated "Selective Sync" and "New Sharing Modell"...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ephestione:
ah I see, where users do not lose space with shared folders
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dumdidum:
This might be, I'm not sure how it will be exactly.

I'm curious too :-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ceesheim:
good work , it is looking good .

I only got one crash after the network was gone when I was exploring my files .

I am trying to replicate the bug if I know I will post it here .

edit I also posted it on http://www.ruttensoft.com/RuttensoftsCloudFileswithDropbox/tabid/95/forumid/4/postid/39/scope/posts/Default.aspx#39 .
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] carrot34:
This works great and looks great!!! Thank you!

I'm still really wishing for something that will sync directories with the cloud. I love that CloudFiles can download entire directories (including subdirectories!). I wish it would then check occasionally to see if if there had been changes to each downloaded directory -- either on the server side or on the device side -- and then (perhaps with a prompt or warning first?) upload or download updated files to keep everything in sync.

Yeah, that's a lot of coding, I know. But I don't think there is yet a good tool out there to do that for any phone platform, is there? (Windows Live Mesh does it, but it's buggy, slow, and not being developed anymore.)

Thanks for developing this!

Camera doesn't work on Toshiba TG01

I can't use camera with this app:

See the screen:

Copied on your web but I can't upload pictures there:confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dumdidum:
Thanks . That's a weird error message (its not from us, but form Microsoft :-))

I'll setup a small test app, it might be that there is a bug in the Compact Framework and your device. Will email the app tomorrow or so.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dumdidum:
You should have received a link by now per mail
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jolas:
First impression of beta is really good!

I will write back after continue testing it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jolas:
After some tests I think that it is working good most of the time.

The only problem I had, was when I was setting up my preferences: the display was not refreshing after closing 'Share Settings' and the same for 'Bit.ly Settings'. After going back to main screen and retturning to settings screen, the display was refreshing OK.

But after doing that twise, I had a crash.

Next time I opened settings, everything was working OK.

Another thing I didn't understand, was the 'Share folder (30 day link)...' in the second tab.

When I select it, it does nothing (after a while white screen), or it displays an error message.

:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dumdidum:
Hi Jolas, thanks for testing!

How exactly did it not refresh. What did you see after closing the Share and Bit.ly-Settings? Did it still show the Settings-Menu?

Did you try to share the root folder, or was it a subfolder? Root is not possible (in the next beta, it's removed).

Thanks, I hope we'll get it fixed after your responses.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jolas:
Yes, it still show the 'Share Settings'-Menu, (the same happened with 'Bit.ly Settings'-Menu)

First time, I tried to select 'Public'.

After that time, every time I select 'Share folder (30 day link)...', I have an error message after a couple of seconds (once or twice, I had a white screen).

:)

jolas
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] iridium21:
I've been playing with this first Beta a few days now and all seems well except for the odd occasion it says that a folder has been removed or deleted when it hasn't...

Any news on the next Beta or general release?

Oh, and if anyone's just about to sign up to Dropbox, then please use this link - we'll both get an extra 250Mb!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dumdidum:
Hi

We expect to release the next Beta tomorrow. If there is no unexpected problem. It will be a public beta this time.

Dropbox will announce today some news (they have Dropbox Event, http://blog.dropbox.com/?p=474).

We are allowed to go public as of tomorrow.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dumdidum:
Hi all

We just released the first public Beta of CloudFiles, containing some bugfixes and: Thumbnail support :-)

Visit www.ruttensoft.com to download :-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ephestione:
How does the mobile API release from Dropbox influence your work? Did it go to waste because they release their official API right after you released your beta?

Or will it let you further improve cloudfiles into using synch features that are currently missing?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dumdidum:
Hi

We are using about 90% of the possibilities the mobile Dropbox API does provide. The API does not include any sync capabilities and will not in the near future.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ephestione:
stupid API :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dumdidum:
Hm API is server-side, and syncing would need them to expose their super technology to us developers... will not happen I fear
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bramgg:
This one is easily one of the best pieces of software I have on my Leo. Certainly I have it in my Top 5 of overall best programs. Keep up the good work, and when the official one is released I'm surely buying it!:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Pere:
Solved on the public beta.

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dumdidum:
We just released v0.7 of CloudFiles!

New:

- Create a new Dropbox-Account on your device!

- Clear Thumbnail cache when exiting (option, default = disabled)

- QWVGA-Support (240x400, 400x240)

- You can now "browse" to change the picture save path.

- You can now change the "Back"-Button to a "Minimize"-Button

- Possibility to skip existing files while up- and downloading

(=resume)

Fix:

- public links to subfolders of the public folder were not correctly created

- lots of smaller fixes

Comming in Version 0.8:

- Settings-Menu still visible for half a seconds after closing a settings form

- Retry up/download for failed files.

The Client will detect the new version and ask if you want to upgrade.

If not, you can download it at www.ruttensoft.com

I wonder if it would be very difficult to geo-identify pictures taken using the internal GPS (if any) as Evernote for Windows Mobile does
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dumdidum:
Nope, that's not that difficult to do. Question is where to save the Geo-ID. Where does Evernote save it?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ephestione:
good idea... you have quite a potential killer app here.

The reason I stayed away from evernote like it was poison, is that their license terms say that all the content you create using the service can be used by them as they please. No way!

Dropbox on the other way, has nothing like it in their TOS, so cloudfiles would be a great frontend for that kind of usage if it included special features oriented towards content creation.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dumdidum:
Ha now that are really strange TOS of Evernote! Sounds really ridiculous...

The question still remains of where to store the GPS data.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ephestione:
don't quote me on that, my knowledge comes from a quick reading of their tos back at the time when I first heard about it, I may have gone terribly wrong or they may have changed it in the meantime.

Anywho, even if I'm no expert, I think a good reference could be http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geotagging#Geotagging_standards_in_electronic_file_formats
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dumdidum:
Thanks, yeah storing as EXIF would be an option. We'll have to check if thats possible on a mobile device too. Anyway, we will implement this feature, but expect it in a future release.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Pere:
Yes, this information must be stored on EXIF, so you can use any program (Picassa, Flickr, to show where the pic was taken.

The new RESCO PHOTO MANAGER for PPC also adds GPS position on EXIF

Best REgards,

Pere
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dumdidum:
Thanks. Unfortunately, its not (yet) possible to store them using .NET Compact Framework. But we will look into this and might be coding it ourself. But it might not be that easy to achieve.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dumdidum:
We just released v0.8 of CloudFiles.

New:

- Retry for failed upload (tries to re-upload failed files)

- Beta working until May 20.

Fix:

- Settings-Menu still visible for half a seconds after closing a settings form

- Small Checkbox-bug fixed

- Some few text fixes

- Fix for large uploads (out of memory)

- Fix for SIP-Icon not showing

- Fix for Auto-SIP

Comming in v0.9

- Retry for failed downloads

- Last small fixes

Final is coming soon...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Pere:
Thank you

Just an idea: I've found very interesting taking pictures and having them immediately uploaded to your dropbox. It's very powerful!!. My suggestion: Having a couple or three of different labels (Amsterdam,Family, Work....) easily "switchable" among them Do you understand?

Best Regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ephestione:
are there expiry dates on the older betas as well? Didn't test one yet, just curious :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dumdidum:
Yes, older Beta's will expire tomorrow, May 15.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dumdidum:
For the last Beta, we are implementing a new, cool feature: The possibility to remote start a down- or upload with Commandline Arguments!

Example for downloading a file:

CloudFiles.exe -pw:password -d "public/Testfile.txt" "\My Documents"

=> Downloads the file "Testfile.txt" to "\My Documents"

Same for uploading:

CloudFiles.exe -pw:password -u "\My Documents\TestFile.txt" "public"

=> Uploads TestFile.txt to your public folder

pw is the password (for security reasons, you have to enable commandline-support and set a password)

After finishing the up- or download, the application will exit.

The Ruttensoft-Team
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dumdidum:
We put this on our list, but it will not make it into the final app which is beeing released next week. But expect it as an update soon afterwards.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ephestione:
ohhh okay, I did save the cab to test it when I had time, but didn't come around it yet, so I suppose I could as well delete that cab :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Pere:
Great news!!! Thank you
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dumdidum:
Version 0.9

New:

- We are excited to introduce Commandline-Support for uploading & downloading files to/from dropbox using Commandline-Arguments!

Example for downloading a file:

"CloudFiles.exe" -pw: password -d "public/Testfile.txt" "\My Documents"

=> Downloads the file "Testfile.txt" to "\My Documents"

Same for uploading:

"CloudFiles.exe" -pw: password -u "\My Documents\TestFile.txt" "public"

=> Uploads TestFile.txt to your public folder

Optionally, you can use '-s' to suppress the final "Download/Upload complete"-message, and '-o' to overwrite existing files without warning

Fix:

- Samsung OMNIA: Picture upload now possible

- Some few, small fixes
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Pere:
Dropbox service prices too expensive

I'm quite satisfied with the Dumdidum app. But I don't understand why Dropbox is so expensive compared with other services like divshare. I have there an account with 25Gb for only 19,99$/year.

On dropbox the free account of 2Gb is OK, but if you need more than this, the only option is paying 99$ for 50Gb!!!! I can't afford it!.And the minimum size is 50!!! Even if you only need 5, or 20 Gb.

I think that these guys need an urgent Sales formation. For instance, if I only need 10 more Gb, I agree paying 9$ for them.

It seems the same but it's NOT the same.... I bet that they are going to loose a lot of business if they don't rectify on time.

So, I want to promote to request to DROPBOX to reduce their , in my opinion, abusive storage prices:

As Dropbox member, you have 6 votes every month to support some ideas. One of them (The fifth one in order of votes) is this:

Better (more affordable) storage prices

https://www.dropbox.com/votebox/90/better-more-affordable-storage-prices

I ask to all the new Dropbox users to vote this idea. This will be good for all the Dropbox users that need more than 2GB but can't pay a lot for it.

Best Regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ephestione:
I agree that especially when compared to 20$ for 25GB, 99 for 50GB is scary, yet dropbox has raised considerably the free amout of space that you can get via referrals, as you can get to a tops total of 10GB which is not bad at all. You just need to promote a viral sponsorship :p
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Pere:
Any idea about how can I do it?:rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ephestione:
uhm, pestering all your friends to register with dropbox using your referral code would get you 250MB of additional space for each registration, up to the 10GB total limit, so "just" 8x4=32 referrals in order to get to 10GB

Hi all

Just found a smart way to increase your Dropbox account with 600 MB:

1 Sign into your existing Dropbox account (or create a new account)

2 Goto https://www.dropbox.com/free

3 Follow instructions ... and voila 600 MB additional free storage :)

When I add new music to my sdcard via PC or downloading through the browser it doesn't show up in the stock music app.

I can open the file directly through a file explorer or browser download screen and it will play but it will have no options eg: no repeat or add to playlist

Has anyone come across this? Once I restart the phone it will show up correctly.

I noticed there is a media scanner in spare parts or dev tools but it doesn't help.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disgustip8ted:
mine shows up pretty quick, where do you put the music onthe sd card and how do you dismount the sd card?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robert-qfh:
Had that problem too, a long time ago. Probably even before I got my Nexus and used a Galaxy Spica. What I did was download songs to my SD card over the network using ES File Explorer. I think Android doesn't really monitor the SD card, all it does is scan when the SD card is mounted. This way, if you use USB to transfer media from your PC, and then disconnect it, it gets mounted again, and the media scanner will run and find the new files. Any other way is probably broken... maybe you can trigger a scan by unmounting and remounting the SD card (from the settings menu)...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
I remember there being an application on the market, sdcard rescan or something that did that.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FloOGB:
yup, thats normal, if you copy music to the sd through an application. android does not monitor the filesystem for new music files and only scans on mount (which happens on bootup).

but yeah ther was an app for that. does anybody have the name?
