If you have an online personal cloud service such as Dropbox, Box.net, Ubuntu one or another, now you can save your Android phone photos, videos that you shoot and other files directly in that online storage totally free. Unfortunate currently we can’t attach/ link phone folders for those sync apps. Most probably those features will come soon.
Now there is a third party app called “Folder Sync” for Android. This free tool can sync your Android phone any file/ folder with your Dropbox, box.net, Ubuntu one, SugerSync, Amazon S3, NetDocuments, LiveDrive , etc.
It’s a good news. Currently there are two types of apps lite and premium versions. Lite version user can only add one cloud account, but the premium user can add all the support services. Personally believe its useless to add more than one account, because of its use higher bandwidth.
Now we take look at how to save your Android phone camera folder to your Dropbox, box.net, Ubuntu one, or any-other online cloud. If you don’t have a personal cloud, you can get Dropbox Free 2.5GB in here (you can extend it to 22GB totally free)
Currently this app support these services Amazon S3 Simple Storage Service, Dropbox, SugarSync, NetDocuments, Google Docs, Google Drive, Box.net (WebDAVs), LiveDrive (WebDAV/FTP), HiDrive (WebDAV/FTP), FTP, FTPS, , FTPES, SFTP, Samba/CIFS/Windows Share, Skydrive, Ubuntu One, WebDAV, WebDAVs (HTTPS).
