10 TB Cloud Storage - Tencent Weiyun, now in english
You may have heard about the amazing 10tb cloud storage drive Weiyun earlier this month, but were deterred by the fact that it is in chinese? Well, never fear: I have partially translated the windows sync application, and there is an english version of the web interface. You can practically pretend it's actually in english!
To get all set with Tencent Weiyun:
Sign up for a QQ international account at http://www.imqq.com/. You do not need to install QQ to do this!
Download and install the version of weiyun for your Windows: http://www.weiyun.com/download.html?WYTAG=weiyun.portal.index
Download my translation string files from http://url.cn/P74OO0, and replace the strings files with those included. (In my install, it was at C:/Program Files (x86)/Tencent/Weiyun/I18N/2052/)
Install the android or ios app to unlock the full 10tb
If you so choose, go to the web interface to start uploading. To upload files larger than 2gb, install the browser plugin by clicking the blue link in the upper left.
From there, set up your File, photo, and device sync settings in the desktop app, and you will be good to go!
afterwards, access your files conveniently from anywhere at http://www.weiyun.com/disk/index-en.html
A few pitfalls, if you have multiple computers, the default behavior is to sync all files both ways! Change this in the first setting under advanced in in the second settings tab.
One thing that happened to me - there appears to be a soft directory limit, though my files for pre-existing folders are still going up. I am looking into what this number is and if there is a way around it, If you have any info please message me on reddit http://www.reddit.com/user/Candar
Additionally, I couldn't find all of the application strings. I tried decompiling the exe, but they did not appear to be in there. If you are in the mood to do some file snooping, please let me know if you find the location of the other strings. Again, hit up the reddit thread or me directly if you have any insight! http://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/1mbyqy/translated_english_tencent_weiyun_desktop/cc7qepd
