What are some other popular items to get using this technique? I guess it would be multi-platform forms of software available on Google Play?
True. Afaik You may also get office 365 subscription cheaper this way.
How?
There is no option to pay with Play Credit on my Note 4?
What android version do u use?
Marshmallow
Can I genuinely ask what is the appeal of this Dropbox Premium?
Is it the 1TB capacity? Is it the security/ encryption?
Just trying understand how people justify this $109 per year fee.
If you don't mind sharing.
Competitive price for safe keeping of your files encase of fire, theft, HD crash.
Plus you can access it from anywhere in the world.google drive does that and its free?
Up to 15GB is free, 1TB is $99.99 per year.
Drop box has more features than google drive, which I need.
Easy to configure with Windows and UNIX for me.
If you think its suits you, then its bonus :)
Competitive price
Is it competitive though?
I paid ~$80 for a year of Office 365 and it comes with 1TB OneDrive and Office applications. It also allows for four other users to have 1TB of OneDrive storage each and more installations of Office.
Same here.
Effective 5TB of storage for about $80paOneDrive is a piece of crap though. The software has only become reasonably usable in the past year.
Been fine for me. Used it on my last 2 phones for camera uploads. Seamless experience with over 25gb on my last holiday all uploading fine and synced across to my desktop with no issues. YMMV I guess.
What you get extra is explained here: https://www.dropbox.com/plus In my personal opinion: may be worth for certain scenarios for business users, but it needs to be balanced with storing data on a NAS (Network Attached Storage) and rotating copies off site.
The main issue: who owns (or: who can access) the data: you, or some external entity? "Dropbox Privacy Policy" starting from "We collect and use the following information…" makes rather interesting reading: https://www.dropbox.com/privacy It does not make me feel all warm-and-fuzzy.
My house was broken into and I lost all PCs, laptops, tablets external harddrive drives, USB sticks, CD spindles, you name it! Lots of memories, documents and photos gone.
That piece of mind is now worth it to me. Plus its easily justifiable as a full tax deduction.
Good in theory but it's not a sync service, plus it takes an age to get files back if you ever need to.
Slightly related question, how do you upload quickly?
I have 250Gb+ to upload, and on my ADSL2+ connection that will take around 8 months.
Any other options for cheap/free fast uploads?
Thanks!Take your PC to Apple and use their wifi.
ADSL and cable are useless on upload. Take it to work or a friends place that have fibre or NBN if you can. I have ADSL at home but 100/100MB at work so I do all my large uploads from there.
Just throttle and let it trickle up over time…. 250GB is around 30days at full speed. Who cares how long it takes, once its uploaded its there for ever.
Or actually prioritise what you are backing up!
First time set up is a hassle for this reason. You just have to let it build up incrementally unless you can access a faster connection somewhere.
Is there any way to pay Dropbox (or whatever Cloud service) using Telstra Prepaid Credit?
Whirlpool wiki thinks so, but I cannot find a way how to do it..??

Did your read any of the responses in this thread? Nope because the first one answered your question.
Why do people even use Dropbox given it's lack of security? Don't care about personal documents and other information being compromised?
For similar dollars you can use products like SpiderOak where the data is encrypted before sending and your data is totally secure.
