The sync feature would be really great!

There are also a few other things that don't work yet because they aren't implemented yet or bugs. Some or even all could have been mentioned before, but I don't want to read the whole thread, so I will just post everything I have encountered so far while using this app.

-XT9 isn't deactivated when entering the password

-Saving of login info isn't implemented yet(The password shouldn't be saved as plain text; auto login would also be nice)

-When I tried the mail feature the app crashed(DirectoryNotFoundException)

-When I had just one file in the root of dropbox, went into a folder and then hit the back button, the file disappeared(until I went to sync folders again). Now I don't have this behavior anymore.

-When a Messagebox appears, the app shows Sync Folders in the background.

-A progress bar for up/downloading is missing.

-When creating/deleting a folder, it crashed(NullReferenceException).

-When clicking blank space it opens the bottom file/folder

That's everything I can think of for now. I'm using v0.4.5 on a HD2 with a German 6.5.X Rom so there could be problems with localization.

PS: Did you make the UI yourself or do you use a 3rd party UI?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] brokenshardz:
Just checking if this app is for WM 6.5 Standard. I am using Samsung OmniaPro B7330.

I am getting this error msg with 0.4.5:

Suggestion1: properly define the password field in the login screen as a "password field" :)

Explanation: when entering passwords on my HD2 (be it a website in opera, or the login info in pocket outlook to my gmail account, whatever) , the XT9 function of my keyboard gets greyed out for obvious reasons, while it doesn't on your login screen (in fact it stays active) and you have to manually disable it

Suggestion2:work a little more on the icons, as the transparency around them is somewhat broken,m they have a strange glow which is not properly transparent ;)

At last, reporting a problem with the app, after I login, and as soon as I press the blue button with the green arrow (which I suppose is used to go on the online folder) I get a crash. At first I thoight it depended from having Opera open (it is known to cause insufficient memory errors) but I get it also after closing opera.

This is the wording of the error:

By the way, I am also available for italian translation, if that has not been filled already ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] d1k_is:
hmmm thats a strange issue. Any of the file names have weird charaters or something in them? Could you maybe give me a list of these files or something?

haha, thanks for the offer but im not really accepting donations at the moment as i plan on selling the app once I implement a few more features.

Whats XT9?

Most of the other things im aware of and im looking to implement.

can you give me a bit more info on the create/delete folder issue?

and the issue with the mail should be resolved next version.

never seen that issue before :S

Yeh WM 6.5 should be fine (I have tested it with 6.1, 6.5 and 6.5.5)

Do you get this error just loading the app or...?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] brokenshardz:
Just by loading the app, I did not get to the login page.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kilimanziaro:
This is just what i've been looking for. The app seems to work great on my HTC touch 2. Tried both downloading and uploading and there was no problems .

Great job sir !
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sky2k4:
yeah

i love you :D

but i still miss "save password"

it's boring to retype mail and password everytime :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ephestione:
same of my previous request... XT9 is the function of the keyboard that learns words while you type and adds a correction factor if you happen to press nearby keys, and includes word completion features.

For password fields it should obviously be disabled, and it appears to be done automatically in other applications, maybe there is a software hook to tell the system you're typing inside a password field... much like when you type email address in pocket outlook, where the special keyboard layout for enbtering emails is activated

same error as me, happens as soon as I press the button with the blue lego button with the green arrw pointing right, on the first screen after login (which I have no idea about its function ;))

I have a Motorola Q9c with Windows Mobile 6.1. Hope you can get a fix, would love to test this out!!!!

I did some research and found a very similar error and discussion here:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jcamposlisgolfe:
Sorry about the donation, but it is quite normal to say "thank you" to non professionals!! I will wait then for the final version to buy it.

Your version (DroppedBoxx) seems to be different from the normal DropBox.

Can you tell us were are more detailled user guide for your program ??

I cannot open the files which, indeed, are there!!

Tks. in advance.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
can't wait to test a newer version ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thehellraiser:
thanx for sharing ..

it's really a good app .. going to try on my Raphael ..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] d1k_is:
OK, so v0.5 is out and it has remember me and copy/move File functionality.

As for the bug about the app not loading, It seems to be a bug to do with the non-touchscreen version of Windows Mobile... Not too sure if this can really be fixed (without a whole rewrite using a different control set)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] brokenshardz:
So are you going to support 6.5 standard? kinda disappointing. :( I wont be using touch-based phones for awhile...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
I still have to test v0.5 at its full potential, but already have some impressions to post :)

- the good thing is, as already said, that this app is SUPER FAST (right now I am with 1 to none 3g bars, and accessing online folders is as fast as accessing local folders - no joke!!! also, startup and login speed is almost instant - astonishing job mate!!)

- the negative drawback is when browsing the "sync'ed" or local folders: it really made me go mad!!! I really don'tundestand how to select a folder (and not open it) before clicking "add" or "remove" buttons. I'd like to see something like "resco file explorer" functionality replicated here, something more logical and easy to understand (think about grandpa... ;) )

example: 1 tap to select the folder (then I can click on butons: add, remove, or whatever), 2 taps to open. Alternative: tap to open, long-tap to select.

other ideas / little bugs:

-the "remember me" button on the login screen is VERY tricky: the red "X" makes me think the option is selected, when it's not (took 3 tentatives to understand...)!!! since it's a checkbox, I'd mimic standard windows behaviour: "X" for ON, WHITE/EMPTY for OFF. as of now, it's confusing and may look like it's not working.

-when logging in, the software keyboard stays open (matter of a while closing it, but yet tedious...)

-waiting for a cool login screen background... something like the dropbox "blue box" icon maybe?? ;)

more to come, as soon as I test more deeply the new version (you'e a fast releaser...cool!) ^_^

thanks again for your hard work, and let me congratulate again for such a fast, useful, and good looking app!!! fantastic!!! can't wait for it to grow up! ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ephestione:
With 0.5 I keep getting the same error screen that I pasted in my last post, if I press the only functional button on the lower bar, the blue "lego button" with green arrow pointing right
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] d1k_is:
Loving your feedback!

For starters, thanks for the feedback, speed is definately something i've had in my mind from the start.

Browsing the folders... I know this is a bit tricky until you get the hang of it but I cant work out how to implement tap and hold on these controls. So i guess i'll just have to keep it in mind... (sorry)

Remember me, again this was a limitation of the certain control set im using (tho i didnt even think to have an empty 1) will give it a go in 0.5.1 ;)

Same with software Keyboard (v0.5.1)

cool login screen... I'll do what i can for you here (I never liked the login screen anyway)

Hmmm what sort of phone do you have?

As said before I think this error is to do with Windows Mobile Standard (non-touchscreen), otherwise i'll have to do some digging...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
thank you very much Sir, much appreciated! :)

have you thought about the tap/double tap alternative? (IMHO, within my whole WinMo exprience I found out I prefer double to to long-tap)

no need to say sorry!!!! :)

keep up the good work mate!

have a nice day
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ephestione:
as in sig, HD2 ;) Completely touchscreen :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] meats:
I second the request for non-touchscreen WinMo phones.

Just think, it will lead to accessing greater market share for when your app is officially completed and available!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ikepigott:
This is exactly what I would want. No need to carry a bunch of files on my SD card that my phone can't use (like .psd and .xcf files, for instance.)

Do you have this on your roadmap?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] illi:
+1. I would want to carry on my phone only files that can be used on the device. Especially cab files which I want to intall. More of an archive on DropBox. Especially in emergency cases when I have to flash roms on the road. Very useful indeed.

Thank you
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] d1k_is:
This is definately on the roadmap, was part of the plan from the beginning (and work on it has already started on it)

But I think this feature will only be on the paid version.

Hmmm interesting, would that mean you'd want to exclude based on file type or will size be enough?

For me im pretty sure size would be enough (as my dropbox has small files and large files and none really in between)

What are others thoughts about this?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] d1k_is:
strange... I'm assuming you have .NET 3.5 installed?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aszw:
i stand in need of. :)

Tested dveice: WILLCOM HYBRID W-ZERO3 (WVGA: 480x854)

* Japanese folder name: ok

* file upload: ok

* file download: ok

* photo upload: ok

awesome!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
@dev:

file extension filtering would be super good, but I think that there are too many possibilities, with files being uploaded to dropbox and with user preferences about file types to sync... setting it up (for my normal pattern of usage) might become such a hard task that I wouldn't bother...BUT it's indeed a killer feature, especially for users with basic needs, so I'd definitely give it a go (maybe later, your roadmap looks already full for now..)

little hint: having the "about" screen working, even a super simple one, would be great to keep track of the version installed on the device, useful since you are a fast releaser ;) ....maybe also a autoupdate feature built-in?? even MORE useful IMHO!!

keep up the good work mate!! :)

cheers
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 12aon:
Got two crashes to report :). First one was on login and the second was when I was trying to open a subfolder of a shared dropbox. See the attachments.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ephestione:
Adding a CSV option field, to list the file extensions you don't want to sync (Example: "rar;zip;psd;;" the last empty field is for "no extension"), together with also a separate file size mask, shouldn't be too time consuming, yet only you can get an idea of the human resources needed to achieve that, but it surely would be useful to many :)

of course, my rom comes with latest released version of NetCF, 3.7.8345.0 :)

If I'm not wrong, shortly before my first post another user reported the same error
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
It feels a little weird to have to logout in order to exit. There should be an exit option from anywhere really.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stefanclark:
awesome, keep up the good work.

feature request: list of recently updated files similar to the events page on the website
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ssj4sunny:
What an amazing app!!! I seriously love this so much! Thank you!!!

One problem, when i open some directory it crashes, do u want me to send you the error report?

thxxx
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] d1k_is:
I had the exact same thought (especially with remember me and soon to be auto login) But i'll figure somehting out ;)

Yeh i would love something like this but i dont think the API supports it (yet)

Thank you, that would be good also what the name of the directory and its Path etc.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blackout_pt:
Great work and great app. Wrote a review for it on my blog

visit http://dr3amcast3r.wordpress.com/2010/06/05/droppedboxx/

note review is out of date since it was written for version 0.4.5

thank you

The review has been updated to match the last version

Reporting

Wanted to say thank you for the handy application.

Wanted to report that it seems to be working well so far on the Imagio / Whitestone running 6.5.x Sense 2012.

As some others have noted:

1. Single tap to highlight. Double tap for "enter". Would be nice. I think it is what most people are used to. It took me a while to figure out how to delete a folder bc when i would tap the folder it would open. I would go back and try all over again. Did that a few times before I attempted to delete the folder after opening it.

So just trying to give some feedback and give some thanks for teh useful application.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mista.maja:
this app looks very promising... i registered at dropbox and installed the desktop counterpart solely to see this work. unfortunately DroppedBoxx crashes as soon as i hit the "Browse DropBox" button on the bottom. tried several times now.

Device: HTC Touch HD (Blackstone)

ROM: Energy.BLACKSTONE.21905.Sense2.5.GTX.Themed.May.28

Regional Settings: Germany (who knows, maybe this has something to do with the crash)

DroppedBox.exe
NullReferenceException

Are you able to post a directory list of your dropbox root?

Do you have any special charactered directory/file names in there?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] brokenshardz:
I did report the same error. But mine is non-touchscreen phone. Installed 0.5.0, but still having the same error.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] d1k_is:
Thanks for the feedback...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ephestione:
I see, in your case that would make it kind of normal :)

Anyway, if I had to think about problems with my dropbox folder listing, here's the details:

1) no inusual characters in there

2) few files without extension on the root

3) 3 folder in root

4) one 2GB file on the root
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] d1k_is:
Can you PM me the details please?

Just need all the filenames and folder names so i can run some tests...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mista.maja:
there are no special characters in any filenames. it's just 2 sample folders ("Photos" and "Public"), a "Getting Started.pdf" and a file i wanted to transfer to my phone: "NRGZ28 VolumeControl GTX fix.cab".

i'm going to PM you my DropBox account details so you can run tests in your own environment.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ephestione:
you just got a fresh and nice screenshot in your PM inbox ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] d1k_is:
Just posted up a new version, let me know what you guys think...

Also, just a general question about the new version, do you think the "Logout" button should also do the same as "Forget Me" (by removing the stored login)?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mariad:
Hi d1k_is :)

No, I think logout should be separate to forgetting, because I'll likely want to log in again with the stored credentials; my guess is most people will use the one dropbox account. It's easier to click 'forget me' sometimes than to retype the user/pass.

Just my thoughts, thanks for a great prog :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ephestione:
Here's some juicy feedback for you regarding the FluidControl error.

I tried accessing an unused dropbox account I had, and everything worked.

I tried moving the 2GB file on my account in a subfolder, and after that I could also access my own dropbox account, upload pictures and whatnot (well not realy., I didn't test everything but after being able to access I pretty much supposed everything else was going to work as supposed).

Anyway, as soon as I accessed the subfolder where the 2GB file was moved, droppedboxx crashed again.

Moving the 2GB file back to root of dropbox it kept crashing on first connection, so it's definitely the big size of the file causing the crash.

I'd like everyone with the same problem (mista.maya comes to mind) to check if they have big files and move them in subfolder to do the same check.

Also... I was surprised at how fast was the picture upload on dropbox, but then I checked it's done in VGA resolution... :o How come I cannot raise that? Doesn't do justice to the 5Mpixel camera of my HD2 :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ephestione:
Some more random feedback:

1) Login screen looks definitely nicer, I still think thought that the password field should be made "compliant" with WM, as in the SIP should know it's a password field. The HTC keyboard automatically disables word completion/T9 functions when you're typing inside a password field, this happens both in pocket outlook mail accout settings, and in opera for login forms, but not in droppedboxx, so I suppose there must be a switch, a parameter or something to enable that function

2) Program icon in startmenu is still ugly-ish because of the blu matte halo around it, but I think I will get around it and provide you with a properly transparent file sooner or later :P

3) SIP problems: while moving from account mail to password field the keyboard disappears and it should really stay on, changin from normal keyboard to "password layout keyboard" (as stated in first point). Also once you type the password and press login button, the keyboard stays open it it shouldn't, after that you have to close it by pressing the small SIP symbol that appears in the lower right corner of the screen

4) the "remember me" checkbox is more intuitive now, but probably a fancy "check" sign would be nicer to the eye, and more uniform with Windows interface, something like this: http://www.freeclipartnow.com/d/40761-1/checkbox-1.jpg

5) Aboslutely give the option to raise the resolution of the camera before uploading pictures :D Maybe even via a reg key that can be changed manually, and defaults to simple VGA

6) More on hte login screen: I think you shouldn't make it fullscreen, IMO it would look more integrated if you left the standard softkey bar, for example take the standard WM viewport, here's a take:

so, leaving the lower softkey bar, the SIP switch would be there anyway, and you could make the "Nuovo" button into "Login", while changing "Menu" to Exit.

After you login, you can succesfully take the whole screen to display the normal interface

EDIT: I hacked up together a improvised icon for the program:

Credit where it's due, it's been freely merged from http://www.flickr.com/photos/expressmonorail/3470644819/ and http://www.flickr.com/photos/splorp/3885359511/
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chris10230:
Right i made an icon for it, I'm not too sure if you can use it for the final release as it is well a copy of the official dropbox logo so there could be some issues there...

Its attached and if you want to use it then go to

HKLM/Security/Shell/StartInfo/Start/DroppedBoxx.ink/

Create a key string called Icon and put the path in

or

go and find one of many icon changer programs to do this for you

Also so far cannot find issues with it part from graphics bits where bad cutting has occurred or parts not implemented yet :D keep it up
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ephestione:
why do you think I made an icon by scratching together pictures released under creative commons license? :p

Nothing on dropbox website can be reused freely, so surely it would be a problem to rip the icon off theirs, otherwise it would have been way faster a right-click+save :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chris10230:
true but that does not stop the rest of us having a different icon also i was too impatient to wait for your one :p

Now people can have a choice and as long its not included and sold then no real issues right? If there is then mod/me i will remove the image.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mista.maja:
my crash has been fixed with the latest release, and it had nothing to do with file sizes since the only file i had in there was a 140 kilobyte .cab from NRGZ28.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ephestione:
uhm, weird, and we were having about the same error output :/
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] d1k_is:
I pm'd you a cab to test a bugfix, let me know how it goes and i'll put in it in an actual release...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ephestione:
test cab works... tested only the login to remote folder, I can see the big file no prob :p

No more testing for now, it's poast 2am and I need sleep! :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] d1k_is:
If only SIP was that easy... I actually thought I fixed the T9 thing (but clearly I havnt)

But I'll have a try using the WM soft menu (for the login screen only) and see if I like it...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
the new login screen looks very pretty!! ;) very cool!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Heart1010:
Don't know if anyone is interested... I made some variants for a dropbox icon

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
OMG these icons are WONDERFUL!!!! +1 to add one of these to this wonderful app!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ephestione:
they are a copy of the original dropbox logo, hence they cannot be used on the official release, you can only add them yourself by hand; that's why I took images licensed with creative commons license to create an icon
