Google Drive Is Now Available… Will We See A BlackBerry Client?

by 3 Comments

The highly anticipated cloud storage service, Google Drive, is now available and offering 5 gigabytes of cloud based storage free to anyone who signs up.

You can currently access Google Drive via desktop clients for PC and Mac, the web, and smartphone apps for Android and iOS.

My question to RIM is will we see a native Google Drive app for the BlackBerry anytime soon?

by 1 Comment

DropBox, a cloud based file hosting and sharing service, which launched DropBox for BlackBerry back in September, has been updated to version 1.0.37 includes quite a few bug fixes including:

  • saving non-ascii texts results in garbled text
  • handling of edge cases when running out of space on sd card and in device memory
  • open-edit-upload usecase wasn’t working for devices with encryption enabled
  • share link freezes for some users
  • open-edit-upload usecase fails for files with non-ascii filenames
  • “would you like to allow logging” dialog shouldn’t appear on first launch
  • on rotatable devices, in image gallery, the displayed/cached image is smaller than screen size (shouldn’t happen)
  • app should ask for permissions in advance on first launch
  • app should support multiple third-party app associations for a given file type (e.g multiple pdf viewers)
  • music/video stops when screen fades out
  • user gets a “not enough room to write file” message when trying to open a file that’s already open in docs2go

DropBox for BlackBerry is  free, so, sign up for a DropBox account, and download DropBox for BlackBerry here…

  • open-edit-upload usecase wasn’t working for devices with encryption enabled

Dropbox is a cloud base file storage and synchronization service which recently released a client for the Blackberry.  I personally use and recommend Dropbox.  Being that Dropbox is free, you can’t beat the price.
