Interesting app.

I actually use Ruttensofts CloudFiles. But might try this out anyway.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] herpez:
Why to use a pay one (trial is just 7 days) when you have one from free?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] d1k_is:
Awesome, Let me know how it compares...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
It's free, so it already has 1 up on Cloudfiles.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] madindehead:
Because I got Ruttensofts before I even knew this existed :p
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ephestione:
to be correct, droppedboox is free only until first release, after that it will be a (very modestly)paid software, yet the price comparison is dead on won by droppedboxx :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] herpez:
Until then, i will support the software. After that, let's see.

However, i need to congratulate the developers for at least release free versions until today.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amcolash:
hey, i tried out this program on my treo pro and it seems to be displaying correctly (320x320) ----> worst screen size ever ;)

edit: i am getting some errors when i try to access my files however, so the graphical interface works, but i think since i have a lot of files in one of my folders, it crashes on that one
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] d1k_is:
hmmm, Any details on the error?

Does it happen when you first try browse dropbox or...?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amcolash:
errors with folder

well, i tried other folders and they work fine. what i do know is the folder has a "+" symbol.... not sure if this is the issue.....

here is the error:

----------------------------------------------

DroppedBoxx.exe

now i am no programming wizard (only know a bit of basic and such...) but, i think that it is trying to draw something that doesnt exist... i read on your blog about the fluid controls and it seemed like people said they were a pain.... hope you could fix, that would be awesome :)

good luck, and i had an idea for the program, upload a set of files/folder, but not sync... would be very useful ;) thank you a lot.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
congrats to the developer for having submitted v.1.1 to the marketplace, and mostly for having v.1.0 available!! (well, actually it's not yet in my market...but it's only a question of time :) )

can't wait for it! :)

thanks a lot, and keep up the good work with polishing and adding useful features!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] herpez:
Where is 1.0 available?

In marketplace i found nothing...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
So what's the difference now between just buying Cloudfiles versus DroppedBoxx? I use DroppedBoxx because it's free. I would donate to the developer for further development but if I'm going to have to pay for a commercial product, why not go with one with all the features rather than one with features still in development?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ephestione:
the author has been clear in several occasions regarding his intentions of making the app py-software and publish on marketplace.

If you would donate anyway, why not paying the 2 USD (if that's still the final price) for the software itself on marketplace? ;)

I myself was all excited to finally have a dropbox client on WM, since there is no official one, but now I surprise myself at how un-needed it really is for me :D

What I needed most is not available to any mobile device, that is "real" syncing on selected files, so unless in very rare occasions I don't really use droppedboxx.

Actually, apart from the few tests I've made until now, not even once I actually used it because I needed it :rolleyes:

In the case I found this kind of app productive, I would definitely be happy to buy it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thepolishguy:
thanks again.

I just thought I would say thank you again. You did some testing on here. You were able to help me with this alpha version that works very well. And some people were able to help you with feedback. I think it is a very good trade off.

And it doesn't bother me one bit that you want to get paid for your work. I work 5 days a week and at the end of the pay period I expect to get paid for my efforts. If I didn't get paid for what I do I couldn't provide for my family. If you want to earn a living developing software then people need to kick down.

There are some great people on this site - but let's face it - less than 5% of them ever donate any $$. They are all happy to use your work - but ask for $2 and it's the end of the world. Never mind the fact that they'll drop $3.50 on a RockStar or a Monster without thinking twice... oh well...

so - thanks. looking forward to the release on the Marketplace.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] d1k_is:
Thanks for the encouragement.

Ok,v1.0 is now available in the EN-AU and EN-US Markets.

This version contains one-way syncing of the folders (Phone to dropbox)

v1.1 is being certified on both these markets as well, It contains two-way syncing of folders, some UI tweaks (labeled buttons etc.) and a few slight bug fixed (some due to connection issues)

Once v1.1 is out on these 2 Markets i'll also submit it to others.

To be honest there isnt too much difference in which 1 you chose. I build DroppedBoxx around the idea of syncing certain folders from the phone onto dropbox and as far as i know Cloud Files doesnt have this feature. But It does do a lot of other cool stuff that DroppedBoxx doesnt, ie. Editing files from Dropbox (from within the application) folder upload/download.

It is good to have competition and I am going to look at implementing some of these features as time goes by.

I think the Sync Folders feature is the biggest "selling point" for DroppedBoxx at the moment. But again, having other WM dropbox clients means we all step up to compete.

Yes I plan on keeping it as $1.99, I like Mobile apps to be cheap :)

haha, thats a good point. I have been trying to gauge weather DroppedBoxx is so popular because its good or just because its free (and the only free 1) I guess soon i'll find out.

I'll update the Changelog when I get around to it (its a little fragmented at the moment)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bh77a:
I don't find 1.0 in Marketplace

I checked and it's not listed anywhere I can find. I'm looking on the US site.

bh
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] -Arturo-:
Me neither, i've tried in both Us and Australia's MP.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] d1k_is:
Your right, cant seem to find it in US Marketplace (but its there in AU)

Maybe just give it a bit more time...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] -Arturo-:
"Error loading application details

Hmmm strange.

I'm using HTC Kaiser, looks like it;s not compatible with the app....according to MS.:)

How can you not love microsoft. :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] d1k_is:
Try Changing the catalog to Australia, that seems to work for me. I guess its not actually on US Marketplace yet...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thx1200:
Will 1.0 to 1.1 be a free upgrade? If so, I'm buying right now! If not, I'll wait. I really want that two-way sync. :-)

Sync Folders is the primary reason I am interested in this app. I don't care about editing from the cloud and so on, personally. But competition is always good.

:-D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
You had me at "Sync" hahaha!!! You are right, I have the full version of Cloudfiles and it does not have that feature.

I changed my region to Australia and DroppedBoxx showed up but there is no option to buy it. I know it's probably just a few days from being fully released but I just can't wait. Do you have any information about when we'll be able to actually buy it?

Hey is there any way to have an automated Sync process in the background? ie: if you change a file, you wouldn't need to go into DroppedBoxx and tap Sync... it would just do it automatically?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] -Arturo-:
did that already, still nothing. what category have you put it in? Tools/Utilities? I have only 50 apps in that category using marketplace but i get more than 70 using chainfire's "marketplace switcher" but cannot find droppedboxx in neither of them.

Any update on my issue?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] d1k_is:
Yep, all future versions will be under the same "Product" in Marketplace so buying now will get every version ;)

v1.1 shouldnt be too far off, just waiting for certification from Microsoft.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] d1k_is:
Umm you should be able to purchase it now (already had a few people download it) but maybe just give it a little while.

As for the background process for syncing, It could definately be something to look at for future versions (similar function to the dropbox desktop client i guess) But for now i'll work on getting "manual" syncing going and a better UI for that part of it. If you havnt noticed I updated the Changelog to include v1.0, v1.1 and a bit of a roadmap for future releases.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
I figured out that I just was not signed in haha... I feel dumb. I purchased it.

I ran into a .NET error. What happened to me is... I moved my folders around on my storage card a bit. Then in DroppedBoxx 1.0, I ran into a .NET error when I went to click on or try to Sync a folder that I have moved, presumably because the folder no longer exists in that location. Can you fix it so that it knows to skip the folder if it doesn't exist? Then you could just do a notification that it skipped the folder cuz it no longer exists.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jager:
I just have a quick question. I live in the US, so I had my region set accordingly. Now I have changed it to Australia so that I could see DroppedBoxx. If I buy it with my region set to Australia, then I switch back to US, will I still receive updates correctly?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] -Arturo-:
Any update on my issue?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
I live in the US, switched to Australia, purchased it, switched back to US, and it showed up for me to download in my phone's Marketplace.

Just go to https://marketplace.windowsphone.com/details.aspx?appId=18925f53-bef8-43c4-adb9-f31658b133fa. If it doesn't show up, switch the region to Australia on the bottom right, then go to https://marketplace.windowsphone.com/details.aspx?appId=18925f53-bef8-43c4-adb9-f31658b133fa again. Purchase it via that site. Then it'll show up in your phone's Markeplace under "My Applications".
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] -Arturo-:
Thanks but it's useless it just doesn't show up for me.

@d1k_is When you were submitting the app. to marketplace did you have some option to choose what devices are supported???

This is what I get when i go directly to the droppboxx link

Maybe my phone isn't supported???

It's HTC Kaiser and i cannot change it in marketplace settings looks like it's detected automatically during the login process.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] d1k_is:
Interesting... I'll add a fix to v1.2

Should do as its technically the same "product" as far as marketplace is concerned.

FYI, v1.1 Is now in EN-AU and EN-US Marketplaces (might take a while for it to actually show up) Also submitting it to a few more of the Marketplaces (Open to suggestions)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] d1k_is:
Only Requirement I set was Touchscreen... Not too sure why it doesnt show up for you. Have you tried going to the link I posted after switching to Australia?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mentor17:
I have the same problem on my rhodium. Can't find your app.

Link doesn't work: "This application is not compatible with your device selection, or has been removed from publication"
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
Just downloaded v1.1. Just keeps getting better and better. Great job. I think you could charge more by the way. Maybe $3.99 or $4.99... either way it's less than Cloudfiles.

Also, it would be smart to build a security feature to check with your site for a username and password otherwise it's likely to end up on ppcwarez or something soon. Cloudfiles has something like that to prevent piracy. You could have their username be the same as their dropbox email address to make it simple. Or just only allow access to Dropbox from one email address. Not sure if the Marketplace would be able to help you interface it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pepeis:
I've got the same problem.

Marketplace says my mobile isn't supported.

It's an HTC HD2.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lufc:
Great pice of work thanks :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] d1k_is:
Yeh its being a little wierd, Im talking to Microsoft about why its there for some and not for others...

Have you tried going to Marketplace, changing country to Australia then following the link? Seemed to work for me (and some others)

But yeh it should be in the US market but im still yet to see it. I'll keep you posted...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dlmandalia:
Windows Market place doesn't really allow me to download it...

I am getting this error:-

"Error loading application details

This application is not compatible with your device selection, or has been removed from publication."

I dont know wht to do please guide me..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thepolishguy:
marketplace=lame

I knew it man - Microsoft Marketplace = failure. I know it has nothing to do with you. I can't even pay you for your great app now that I want to!

I go to the US marketplace. No luck. I go to the Australian MP - use your link - and there it is. Click "Purchase" - and the MP just hangs with a "loading" message and never loads!

If you have a pay pal account - I will pay you the $2 first and then you can email me the .cab? I am sure you don't want to do business that way - but I thought I would give it a try.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
Hey I have a few question about 1.1. When you tap Sync, is it smart enough to know to not download files that are already on your phone and/or only files that have later modified dates than that of those on your phone? And the vice versa of that question is, is it smart enough to know to only upload files from the phone that were updated later than the modified date on the dropdox.com file?

Once it shows the status of the Sync process (ie: Downloading xxxx.cab or downloading file 3 of 15, uploading 1 of 2, or whatever), this program will be even better.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] d1k_is:
Yes the syncing is smart enough to only sync what has been changed.

As for the status, thats what im working on now (Watch for v1.2 ;) )
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] d1k_is:
Yeh Marketplace is being a bit of a *****.

Im thinking about just setting up a store of my own for it or something...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Burning_aces:
Im guessing this app isnt freeware or?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] s2007:
interesting. There is no information I must pay for it. When I go to marketplace there is information

Błąd podczas ładowania szczegółów aplikacji

This application is not compatible with your device selection, or has been removed from publication.​

Could you publish CAB normally?

My phone is HTC HD2 (Leo)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] d1k_is:
No its not freeware, had a free beta going a little while ago but have since released a proper version.

What do you mean by publish CAB normally?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] s2007:
put link to cab. Put information in first post about we must pay for it!!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] d1k_is:
First post has been updated with the price...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chris10230:
Doesn't the fact that this is now paid for only sw mean that it is against xda-dev rules? Sorry to be a party pooper....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] d1k_is:
Interesting, I couldnt see anywhere in the rules saying so. Do you have a link?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chris10230:
from here: http://xdaforums.com/announcement.php?a=47

may be better in your case to talk to a mod about what you should do, as it seems a little grey for your case still i do like the product and how cheap it is, no doubt when i start uni again in the autumn i will be buying it!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] d1k_is:
ahh, your right might need to talk to a mod as I didnt intent this thread to advertise as it was started as a beta test to get feedback and support for the app.

Thanks for the heads up.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chris10230:
no problem, good luck with the rest of it and beat cloud files in users! :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] d1k_is:
I have spoken to an Admin and Im allowed to keep the thread going to offer support for users of the app, just not allow to post links to purchase it.

First and Second posts have been updated.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thepolishguy:
Just wondering when you are going to add a paypal button to your signiture so you can "support" us beta testers that are stuck on V..7.1? We "donate" (which isn't against the rules), pm you the transaction # etc.

Hope you will consider supporting in this way as I still get no love from the MP.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
Hey I asked this yesterday but I think it got missed. Is 1.1 smart enough not to download files that have the same modified date/time as the files on the phone? Does it know not to upload all files in sync folders if they're already at Dropbox and not newer than what's at Dropbox? The question works in reverse too. Does is know not to download all files in dropbox sync folders if they're already on the phone and not newer than what's on the phone?

Also, you could always keep the latest beta version available for users as a "trial" so that people can get an idea about how your app works, etc.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] edeasknight:
Download doesn't work!

Thanks for making this but I've never had such problems just downloading something. Here's what I've tried so far:

1) Go from IE on a computer: failed - see screenshot. It basically says the application is not available from my device selection.

2) Search for the app "DroppedBoxx" using IE in marketplace returns NOTHING - see screenshot as well.

3) I installed, logged into MarketPlace on my Touch Pro 2, see screenshot, search returns nothing and I can't locate it in the sub categories of apps.

4) Tried using IE instead of Opera on my Touch Pro 2 to navigate to the Market Place product page for DroppedBoxx - most retarded experience I've had with a browser on a PDA (referring to IE) and it won't give me a download link - just tell me to use MarketPlace app on my phone - so refer to #3.

Can anyone help me here? I'm willing to pay - I just want a way to actually get the cab file! GOD!!!!

Again, thanks for making the app and selling it so cheap, I'd be ready to pay more for it, the frustration really comes from not being able to purchase it easily.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
Dude, we've been talking about how to get around this for like 4 pages in this thread. Change the region at the bottom right to Australia.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] br3nt:
jesus, take it easy man... I've been also trying to find it nothing... And YES, i've changed to the Australian MP both on the phone and on my computer... and pretty much every other else english speaking language.. it aint showing up - even if you use the direct link it returns an error msg saying its not compatible. :)

edit: HTC HD2
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
Change the phone model at the Marketplace. It's probably not showing as compatible with HD2. Go to Account Settings, Device Settings, then change the phone and click Save. If the only one listed is your HD2, then I don't know how to get past that.

By the way, it's showing up on the United States marketplace now.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] br3nt:
yea, only my hd2 is there - can only add a credit card to the account or remove the connection to the phone.

Well well, just have to wait for something to come along and fix it :P

thanks anyway
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] faron.hadfield-jones:
Try This

Na... there something wrong with the website. Anyway after much head scratching I was able to download it directly to the phone via the windows marketplace app. Change the settings to United States English :?. Then search for 'Dropbox' :/ . Download the app directly to the phone. I'll prompt you to enter your card details if you haven't aready. I have it running on my HD2 and it works fine :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thepolishguy:
+1 Can we all remember that just bc something works for you that it doesn't necessarily work for the rest of us? That is Windows/WinMo for you. I also tried all the "work arounds" with no success.

Thank the Maker that it is now FINALLY on the US Marketplace!! Success!! (for me at least) I have got it!!! Can I get a hoora?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] faron.hadfield-jones:
d1k_is this app rocks!! Cloudfiles lacks the syncing ability which I needed. With MS pulling the plug on Live Mesh for mobile with its role out of wave 4 this is a really cool solution.

Thank man :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] d1k_is:
Thats OK, But yes the syncing is smart enough to only update what has been updated on either side (this is done at the file level). So you should be able to update a file on dropbox, sync and it will be on your phone. Update a file on your phone, sync and it will be in dropbox. Dont update anything and nothing will be uploaded or downloaded.

As for the trial, I was thinking about putting v0.7.1 cab back up.

Thanks, not sure why but now it seems to be showing up...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] edeasknight:
HOORA HOORA!!

Ended up showing in the US marketplace for me but NOT by searching, only by listing the newly added apps. I think my heart stopped beating for a second when I first saw it :D

Works greatly but 3 things for feedback that I guess have already been mentioned:

1) When upping directly from camera, filename seems to be set to IMAGE_009.jpg and overwrite - it would be nice to give the user a choice.

2) Public folder: inability to copy direct HTTP link to clipboard.

3) Closes on OK even if my WM is set to only minimize when doing so. I get around that by going back home using the HANGUP button on my device for now.

4) Would be great to have some automatic syncing possibilities.

Oh and it crashed for me when trying to upload a 12M file.

Still, this little beauty goes above all my expectations. I keep seeing props on XDA devs on other websites wondering why big corporations do not hire these guys :D I personally don't know if I'd have the same device if you wouldn't do all that work so cheers to that! Keep up the good work!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thx1200:
I think we're splitting hairs here. You made this thread to get beta feedback and now people are asking where they can buy it and you are replying. I don't see anything wrong with that. In fact, even updating the top post with "beta is ended; here is where you can buy" seems to follow in the spirit of that rule. But I'm not a mod. Just a user who appreciates XDA and doesn't, at all, see this thread as any sort of spam advertisement, which, to me, seems to be the spirit of that rule.

My $0.02. :-)
