[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chef_Tony:
thanks for your reply, i bypassed the issue by moving all my content to subfolders of \dropbox\droppedboxx\dropbox\

and reassigned my windows 7 library association to that folder, so i don't have to hassle with the 3 subfolders.

but another thing i realized was, that not all kinds of videos get synced. my videos folder consists of 3 kinds of files:

- iphone videos (mov)

- self made videos and webvideos (mp4, codec id: "isom")

- downloaded youtube videos (mp4, codec id: "mp42")

and while the iphone videos and selfmade videos get synced, the youtube videos don't, and i don't understand, there is no file size issue, the only major difference i could spot in the codec report was the codec id.

is there a file type filter for the sync feature?

the transfer from my pc to dropbox worked fine, the files sync between all my devices but my phone. if it helps, i can upload the full codec reports for you to look into, but i really don't understand the issue, the files even have the same extensions, but are clearly differentiated somehow and youtube videos are blocked.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] elecconnec:
That would be fine, but it's not a "mission critical" to waste time on, IMO. The problem the new version created (for me) is that you removed the old clear-text config file that listed the alias of the folder and its hard path on the device. I used to just rename the folder to something different, add it to DroppedBoxx, rename it back and edit the config file to match!

While I've got you on the line, I'm getting a lot of Exception Errors when trying to use DroppedBoxx on two devices sharing the same DropBox account. If the program crashes mid sync, any files already synced will make the device crash again when re-run. I suspect that your sync status file isn't closed after each file syncs so the file's changes aren't being saved when the program crashes, and therefore the app is "confused" next time it runes. Just a guess based on what files it's hanging on when crashing. I've renamed the problemed files and everything will sync again. (I end up with two copies of course, the original and the "new" file with a different name. After a sync completes without error, I can delete the older.) This might be some "conflict" logic gone bad (app thinks both copies of the file, local and Dropbox, have been updated since last sync and crashes rather than figure out which one should be canonical.)

Also, attempting to sync a BIG file (>20MB) crashes the program. Perhaps a warning message and skipping files that can't sync for whatever reason would be better? A lis/log of such skipped files would be great, but just completeing the sync without bombing out the program would be preferable to the current situation.

While I much prefer the random crashing of 1.6 to the unintended deletion of files in 1.5, 1.6 seems to require a lot of "babysitting" to complete a sync. Looking forward to 1.7! ;)

Thanks again for a great program. It's a lot easier for all of us to "Monday Morning Quarterback" your fine efforts than to get off our duffs and code something that complex! ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] d1k_is:
Well looks like MS is closing off submissions to the Windows Mobile 6.x marketplace. So v1.7 might be the final version of DroppedBoxx.

So if I could get all feature requests/bug reports ASAP I can work on getting as much as I can into v1.7 and make it as solid as possible.

For next release:

Putting Remove button back on Sync Folders

Fix syncing crashes for large files

Better error handling during Syncing

Figure out solution to adding multiple folders with the same name

Not too sure what I'm going to do with DroppedBoxx after Marketplace is closed...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alizafar:
yah i too am haveing a similer issue but in my case the file directory are not shown thus the file is no where to be found plz fix problem
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chef_Tony:
for me, the features i would wish for in the final version would be:

- syncing all files, despite the file type and size (see my bug report above)

- automated syncing on schedule (beginning at every 10 minutes up to once a week in reasonable steps)

- high res graphics for the buttons (they look blurry on wvga)

- option to sync the entire dropbox (not only the subfolder droppedboxx)

- progress bars for uploading/downloading

- whatever else you or other users might come up with...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jamesbonded:
From my phone I have added folders to sync.

I made a mistake by adding the wrong folder. How do I remove the folder?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] X_Splinter:
So this app is no longer free?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] luis4ever:
Will it work with WM 6.5?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] brucegil:
It runs on my HD2 with the stock Windows Mobile 6.5.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] KevinRush:
Is DroppedBoxx still available?

December 18, 2011

I can't find a current version of this software to download it? It isn't on Handango? The version available on Microsoft Windows Marketplace for Windows Mobile is version 1.5 of DroppedBoxx. I would like a more developed version. I'm not suggesting it be free. I'm willing to pay for good and useful software.

My phone is a Verizon HTC TouchPro2 with Windows Mobile 6.5 with 32 GB MicroSD chip.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lohtse:
anyone got a link to 1.7 as lost my copy and really do need it asap....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] d1k_is:
Hello everyone, sorry for the lack of updates. I have decided to open source this project, the source is available on Github (https://github.com/dkarzon/DroppedBoxx). You can also download the latest version from there.

Feel free to file any bugs you have there but I cant say if I'll be doing any further work on it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Shadowsong:
I've been trying to log in, but received an error:

"...ey (consumer key). Check your app's configuration to meke sure everyth..." (the rest of the text is not visible)

Am I missing something?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] d1k_is:
Sorry, took out the API Keys before I built the cab, just uploaded a new version with the API Keys in it. Give that a try.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Shadowsong:
Thank you for the quick reply. Unfortunately, now it doesn't even start. Apparently it looks for a Fluid file.

DroppedBoxx.exe
MissingMethodException
Unable to find filename or set 'Fluid, Version=1.0.4435.11300, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of the dependencies.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] d1k_is:
Ok, should be good to go now. Not too sure what happened to that one.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Shadowsong:
It works now. Thank you!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jknupp:
I might be missing something but I didn't see a CAB or EXE version in github. Would there happen to be a CAB or EXE? I'm hoping to avoid building from sources if possible. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] d1k_is:
Go to the Downloads tab on the Github project and theres a cab there to download - https://github.com/dkarzon/DroppedBoxx/downloads
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jknupp:
That did it -- I just looked right over that Download link.

Thanks, what a great tool. I supposed eventually I'll have to upgrade to Windows 7 phone or Android but for now with the apps I have installed, my Windows 6.5 phone is doing just fine.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jknupp:
Removing synced folders

I love this app -- a great way to sync Windows Mobile.

Two quick questions -- I created a sync for My Pictures but I want to remove that from the Sync Folders list. I can't see any way to get it removed and when I click Sync it keeps copying everything from My Pictures. Is there any way to edit this list?

Also, is it possible to sync to a folder other than DroppedBox?

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] d1k_is:
Thanks for your feedback.

To remove a sync folder simply select it from the list and press the remove button on the top right.

As for using a different folder, that's not possible currently. Though the source is available on Github if you feel like changing it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mega180:
Great App

Thanks for your app.

Works great on my htc hd2 under WM 6.5.

I hope you will improve the folder selection and sync. But as it is, it's already a great tool !

API deprecated?

Guys, since all comments are from 2012 - is this supposed to be still working? I just installed the 1.7 CAB from GitHub on my WinMo 6.5 phone, but it reports a login error, and on GitHub, the author confirmed it is caused by the DropBox API being deprecated. So the question: Is this still working for anyone? If not, are there any WinMo 6.5 free alternatives for DropBox? Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pol098:
I installed it on a Toshiba TG01 with cooked ROM with .NET Framework 3.7, got "ation that is no longer supported. Please" at the bottom of portrait screen (nothing in landscape). Ruttensoft's CloudFiles claims to do the same job for US$7 (they have a WM version and WP7 in development according to Web site - don't know any more than that). I don't know of any other such apps, free or not.

While not the same functionality as DropBox, I use WiFi Remote Access to transfer files between any local computer and WM6.5 device over WiFi, as I have USB problems. Free version requires some fiddling, small contribution gets unrestricted FTP. Not a very useful answer I fear, but confirmation that DroppedBoxx doesn't work for others either. Best wishes

Added a little later:

A recent post suggests that Ruttensoft's US$7 CloudFiles DropBox app for WM has stopped working. If so, possibly it's due to the same API?

pol098: Thanks for responding. I'll have to live without it. I'll upgrade my phone when time comes but I refuse to replace a phone while it's still working fine, just because the platform is no longer supported. Even if that's what they want us to do. Buy a new one every year or so and spend more money. ;) My cycle is usually 4-5 years so it's a few more months. Why produce more waste?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] poyensa:
Huge thanks, just what I was needing. My microUSB port is also broken and thanks to your post I have discovered WiFi Remote Access :) so I can easily transfer again files between my PC and HD2
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mr.Const:
alternatively, you can try the cloud from Yandex, there WebDav and you can work with it through Resco File Explorer

http://help.yandex.ru/disk/webdav.xml
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] selvr:
Cloud on winmo

Get sugarsync, it has a program for windows mobile that still works. Also sugarsync has 5gb for free, dropbox only 2gb. Even better idea is simply do remote desktop with rdm+, you can connect and transfer all the files from your pc on go as long as its on.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] d1k_is:
Interesting, i have also had this issue randomly.

Is this using the camera upload or just upload a file (that is a picture?)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] d1k_is:
Settings is yet to be implemented yet but i will look at doing this soon, atm there are no real settings for the app.

haha, all good. I know cloudfiles is much better than my DroppedBoxx.

Just a Note: This app was originally developed as a prototype for a Uni assignement and it is still in early development (hense the < 1.0 version numbers :P)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jsmccabe78:
very nice work!

hd2, tmous stock rom here. able to ul/dl without problems...worked great.

you asked for some feedback...so here are my thoughts.

for the settings:

- hope you opt to put in save username, username/password or none of the above

- allow which folder it opens up to (default now is my documents...but would like to be able to switch it to say: storage card\ dropbox)

- to move away from my documents i have to hit "new" which seems a bit odd...maybe put the layout more vertical (so have an "up" option too)

- also maybe allow a tree view, as opposed to just the big buttons now

- allow swyping right/left to work - so don't just have to hit the back button

for the layout:

- skinable? able to replace the grey background (on login)with a pic of our choice and the white background with something else?

anyways...very excited to see this being developed. again, fantastic work!

cheers.

Have you thought about trying to integrate a web media player? Or would you just have to download the files then play them on the device?

Just an idea for thoes who would like their music library on the go :]

This was not a Camera Upload, a Picture, i have this uploaded from the Pc, than I want Download this with Droppedboxx on my Device (SE X1), but than comes this bug (Droppedboxx download the Picture, but black... :( lol
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
+1, good suggestions mate :)

keep up the good work dev!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pedaah:
Just dropped this on my HD2, beautiful graphics, option for no full screen would be great. Integration of a phone side sync folder is clever. not as visually intuitave as I would like, bit of a learning curve. don't seem to be able to change settings or add folders from my documents? I seem to be able to upload camera pictures easily. what am i missing? WWorks but just not finding it easily navigable! Coming from the Cloudfiles beta, to this, it's working but I don't get a lot of the file navigation, am I syncing my whole phone "mydocuments"?

edit: Maybe the app home should be the remote dropbox folder, rather than my documents. after all the point of online storage is to access online/web storage. In my mind if I have an application to access one of my online services, that's initially where I want it to take me. the nav menus?icon menus are slightly cryptic, although nice looking. I am though able to acess my dropbox files, and add camera shots remotely. Making this a little bit more non power user friendly may help as well. Ease of navigation is probably the most important thing in apps like this, thinking like you have never used the OS before!!!. What would a new winmo user think of this, or would they be put off confused by the UI?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
Great program so far.

Here are my initial reactions:

I don't know what buttons do what. It would be nice to have text below or overlayed across each of the buttons which tell you what they do. That way there's no guessing game. IE: Sync, Upload, Download, Settings, Info, etc.

It needs the option to save login credentials

It needs the option to auto-login.

It hides the on-screen keyboard when moving from Email to Password field. It should keep it open.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sleepyManX1:
Really a great app, Thanks!!

May i suggest to add an option to save login informations?

Edit: Sorry i just read someone alreadi suggested it...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] parnunu:
what are using to develop this good app Dropbox API or HTML?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
I think you forget that cloudfiles is in version 1.0 or 1.1. An official version. This hee is beta. I think you don't understand this term?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] d1k_is:
Yep, that feature is definately on my radar (also added it to the future features list in first post)

Im using the API, started out using HTML then the API was released and I got access to it (and there was a gap in development where i was working out the API and porting my HTML code over)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] d1k_is:
Your exactly right, DroppedBoxx is still in early stages of Development though im hoping to get it upto that standard soon (ish) possibly once i get Sync Folders going.

On that note, I thought i might explain what my plans are with Sync Folders.

My plan for this is not to mimic the desktop clients functionality (syncing the entire Dropbox folder) but to have a "DroppedBoxx" folder inside each users Dropbox then the user can select folders from their phone that they want to have Synced to this folder.

This way users have more control over what gets synced to their phone (I will also add settings to limit the file size of the downloads/uploads for syncage so if you have a 10mb file in there that you dont want to upload this is excluded but you can include everything else in the folder)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
Hi d1k_is,

that sounds very interesting for me. Because i am working with so many people here on XDA, whe have to share much things ;-). Dorpbox on my PC home and in the office is running. On my mobile i use the dropbox 0.9 at this moment, but so i have said i will install your actually version this weekend and do some tests with the public folder.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] d1k_is:
Whats Dropbox 0.9 on mobile?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MuratNL:
I guess mike2nl meant Cloudfiles 0.9:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WendyR:
I'd like to chip in to support your plans on this 'special' folder.

I'm new to my HD2 and new to DropBox so your app couldn't have come at a better time. I've sorted out using DropBox on desktops at home and at work, DropBoxPortable to keep the version copied onto my PassPort USB drive in synch and now the cherry on the cake is being able to synch to my HD2's card. Given the potential cost of data plans and the liklihood of size issues on the phones, it seems to be absolutely the right way to go to be able to specify how much to include in what gets synched. I had just about decided to have to create another account to hold the sub-set for the phone - but your approach is better.

I've not found any problems with V0.4.4 that I'm using (can't believe you've moved it so far so fast - and that it started as a student project if I understand you correctly).

I'd also agree with the earlier poster that I'd prefer having app opeing onto my DropBox folder at the start rather than opening in My documents.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chris10230:
This does seem promising once you get the folder syncing working i will love it! As i always tend to pull notes off of dropbox for uni, to have them update as i add or a forced update perfect.

Also thanks for pointing me to dropbox portable WendyR hadn't heard of that one yet! Now i just need to sort out my flash drive properly... :)

If i find any bugs ill let you know about it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] d1k_is:
Thanks for the feedback, I think this feature would really be great for the app. And yes it did start out as a student Project for me.

As for the starting folder, theres a bit of confusion here about this...

It actually starts in the "Sync Folders" screen which to me is like the homescreen/dashboard of the app. But by default it sets the "My Documents" folder as a Sync Folder (for syncing to dropbox).

Not too sure if I wanted to change this as:

1, I would like some sort of Home Screen other than just the Dropbox Root folder.

2, Im thinking the Sync Folders thing will be a much bigger part of the app once its working...

Having said that, I'm open to any sort of layout suggestions people may have (ie. if we do set the Dropbox browser as the start screen how will the user get "back" to sync folders, the sync menu item type thing?)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
Right MuratNL :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
the"sync" button might do this! or you might modify the button that now takes you to the dropbox root :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scarymonkey:
Just installed it and seems to work well on my HD2 (stock O2 1.72 rom). Took me a little while to work out the functionality but made sense once I had done so.

I did notice the graphics when pressing buttons are not very clear as there is a jagged white halo around them before you get to the grey background.

From my perspective I like the idea of not automatically syncing everything in my dropbox down to my phone. Being able to get files from just a single folder makes a lot of sense. I would also like to see an option to only download larger files when on wifi or activesync connection so the 3G data hit isn't too large. This would need to be an option though because it wouldn't be an issue for some.

Keep up the good work and happy to keep testing for you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] d1k_is:
My Thoughts exactly, hense the idea for "Sync Folders"...

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] booyeahhomie:
Thanks!

I know this isn't a 1.0 release yet, but i've gotta say, just having an app to access my stuff is very useful. beats having to load up the browser and navigate to the page. so far no qualms on my usage, will reply if anything is found.

thanks again!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] d1k_is:
Umm are you refering to a picture that has already been taken or you want to take one on-the-go in the app?

1. Picture already exists: Open DroppedBoxx and navigate to the dropbox folder you want to upload the picture then goto upload and find the picture (for me these are stored in "\Storage Card\DCIM") and select it and it will upload to that dropbox folder

2. Take a photo on-the-go: Open DroppedBoxx and navigate to the dropbox folder you want to upload the picture then click the camera button and this should open up the camera application. Take a photo, press the "Back" button to return to the app and upload the photo will be uploaded to that folder.

Has anyone tried out the Create/Delete Folder functions yet? Any Issues/Questions/general Feedback?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] phaim:
I got the same error when I clicked a folder full of pdfs.

Otherwise, great app, runs very nicely so far. I'll reiterate the need for a checkbox to automate usename and pass but I'm sure OP is already aware of that. I'm definitely going to keep a close eye on this one
