Good thing our Nitro has such high rez, so you can view all that pr0n in extra small size (so no one can tell what you're looking at) but it still be ultra sharp!
Gotta love technology huh?

I just got on this deal. It works.
I just registered me and a friend of mine who doesn't have LG phone
Thanks.
Although I'm a bit disappointed how the shared folder is handled, you can only access it directly, it doesn't show in the folder list of you account as in dropbox
Oh and upload speed is ridiculous...
This deal is good until March 23rd. Even if you already have an existing account, just log in and get upgraded!!!

Right now all Android-Users can become this 50 GB-Account. Also if you are registered, you can invite colleagues for a free 50 GB-Acc. But they must have the same mail-extension you use.
True.. I signed up my girlfriend and she also got 50GB. I've already used more than 25GB of it just backing up my phone! LOL.
yep confirmed its still running the promotion ..50gb

Hey I read an article thought id let everyone know... It's like drop box but they give you way more storage they give 25-50gb of storage.... You can put pictures videos n files on there from your fone or computer. The app is called Minus just thought I'd share bc drop box doesn't give me that much space n. This app is free!!! ...

that's exactly! what i was trying to figure out
i know when i joined they only gave me 5GB or something like that, but no where in the app says how much i have now
sucks
It’s nice to have 25GB vs 2GB/5GB from Dropbox but Minus’ UI is very stupidly confusing. I don’t know what are they trying to focus on. Pictures? Or any files? That’s why I’m still with Dropbox.
it's very easy to get 11~12 GB from DropBox free
it's even more easy to get 50 GB free from Box.net which like dropbox it's integrated into many apps, and it's also easy to use like drop box

Yes. This was posted here before. All you have to do is backup your build.prop , change the model to one with the free 50gb, and download the box app from the market. When you set it up, you will get 50gb. I did it and it does work. I just dislike that there is no file management app for the desktop ....

Just signed up and got 50gb! Thanks!
No problem I was stoked to see something offering a little more than drop box. The only downfall is there's no select all, still happy though either way. Can't argue with FREE!

How do you guys edit your build.prop??? more specifically WHAT do you change? and into what?
Thanks,
EDIT: do i change this? "ro.build.display.id=NAMEOFROM"
Just a warning to some of you guys. I signed up for this around 5pm today. Downloaded the app. Created a login name. Logged in and it showed 50gb free. I thought everything was great and all. 2hours later. I got a call from my credit card fraud prevention center telling me that there was a online merchants called "cloudb" tried to put a charge of $50 into my credit card. They asked me if I was doing any purchasing anything from there. I told them no. So they closed my account number and will send me a new card. I only put my email address in as a login. I don't know how they got ahold of my credit card. I didn't even have time to mess with the app yet. Maybe I was just unlucky. But just want to let you guys know what happened to me. I logged out and uninstalled that app now.

you dont need to change your build.prop
There's something like a 100mb file limit too. I thought that it might be a good choice to place backups too, but consensus says dropbox is way better in terms of service all around.
Someone said he edited his build.prop to make his phone 50gb larger. Does this mean you can edit your build.prop to install applications etc. on Box?
Sent from my SGH-T989
you dont need to edit ur build prop just sign up for box online (theyll give you 5gb then) then download the app on your phone and sign in (at which time they should give you 50gb free for life

Google drive isn't like drop box and box though. I can't just link zips and such like box or drop box. If I do it just gives them the content then have to go to file and download. And only if they have Google drive as well. Besides you can link via an app. It may cheaper but you pay for what you get. I also hear GDrive has a native file viewer which is nice.

I noticed this morning that I dont have 50gb anymore from dropbox. Im wondering if its just me or if dropbox caught on to it.
I still have mine
How long have you had it? Was only valid for 2yrs if I recall.
From S3 promo? I still have mine. Not sure what you mean "if Dropbox caught on to it." It was a promo offered by Samsung/Dropbox, so I'm pretty sure Dropbox was aware of it.
If you log into your Dropbox account, click your name in the top right, click settings, and then click the Bonus Space tab, you can see everything that has affected your space there.

Not all the carriers (AT&T, and Verizon didn't iirc) signed on for the Dropbox promo, so the K00l Kiddies tried a dumb "hack" to get the 50G that dropbox can take back whenever they want. (they've taken it back before).

Yep, I got mine by installing DietICS ROM, and just noticed the 50gb is gone.
I never bothered with it as I have 50gb from Box when I bought my Touchpad. Was Leary of trying to jerk the system as I had a few people I know lose all their stored data when drop box caught em.

I am pretty sure they caught onto it. The same thing happened with the HTC promotion that offered dropbox space. Someone extracted the Dropbox APK and hacked it to work on any phone thereby giving you the promo space. A few months later everyone who used it had the space removed. Its very possible that they caught onto it. Diet ICS was/is based off the Rogers stock so by installing it, you'd get the 50GB of space inadvertantly since Rogers SGS3 was valid for the 50GB promo.
Dropbox must have found a way to determine what phone you actually have based on your IMEI possibly and removing the space like they did for the HTC hack

simple. pay for more space. dropbox hacks are not allowed on xda.
I was reading around a few places and I saw that Dropbox were offering 48GB extra with certain Samsung devices. I've looked at https://www.dropbox.com/help/297/en which tells all about it. I've had the phone for about 10 days, it came with the Dropbox app preinstalled which is required for the promo, as is carrier participation.
So my question is, is the Sprint S3 currently valid for this promo? Also I've read a few things that free space can be stacked. I've never had a Dropbox account before. What other ways are there of getting additional storage space?
Thanks
Well you should have the promo then. The only way to get additional 'free' dropbox space is that is people install dropbox on a PC [mobile doesn't count], from you link. You can get the link from the app / the website.
The 48gb is good for 2 years; when its up, you don't loose any files consumed within the 48gb, but you won't be able to add things more than you space minus the 48gb from the promo.
I signed up for dropbox and when I added the phone, it added 48g. It does say it wxpires at the end of 2013. Which would be 1 year. I also added 500m for a referral, 250m for taking the tour and doing a few things, and 3g for uploading 3g worth of pics and vids using the automatic camera upload.special going on now.... great program by the way! Anyone want my code so I get some more space? Lol

1. Install it on your Device
2. Take the tour
3. Install it on your Computer
4. Referral someone
5. Upload something( I think)
6. Make something public.
7. If you have an aditional computer install on it too.
48gb for 2 years and like 2.5 for finish the others steps.

I'm up to 76 because i used to have an evo 4g lte and it has a 24 or 25 gb promo. So when i got this phone, it did indeed stack them. Not that i would recommend this, but i know someone that just kept saying up virtual pcs and using fake email addresses to fake refer people and it worked every time. You can do it for an additional 16gb. But that means you have to do it 32 times.

Well I got my tablet today and linked the pre-installed Dropbox app with my account, but no extra GBs were given. I did however use a Galaxy Note 10.1 at Best Buy on Sunday to login to my account and it gave me 48GB, and that was only for a year. So now I'm at 99.88 GB. :victory:
I'm at 200gb and change right now from registering on gs3, 2 note 2s and a gt 2 10.1. So yes you get additional space for each device that's eligible for the promo.
