[GUIDE] An ADDITIONAL 20+gb of dropbox space for free - HTC One X

Hi all. I wrote this guide on another thread but it's been buried, and i realised that people will still benefit now, so here it is, for posterity.

Bloody Hell! did you get all that from referrals?!?!?!

OK, I e-mailed a friend with my method so may as well help you all out too.
Please note some aspects may not work any more (e.g. I think you can only get 3gb extra space for picture upload nowadays)
The TL;DR is, do all the DB quests, borrow an .ac.uk or .sch.uk or .edu address from a friend (or use your own), whore Google Adwords ....? profit
UPDATE: Dropbox now gives 500mb per referral, so you no longer need a .ac.uk or .sch e-mail address to get the full amount.
It's also worth mentioning that you get 250mb extra free if you sign up through a referral link. Why not google it and click someone elses Adword? Spread the good karma around!
This guide assumes you have a standard free account with a PUNY 2gb storage.
1: +250mb - https://www.dropbox.com/gs - , although I highly doubt you haven't done this.
2: +1gb - https://www.dropbox.com/dropquest2011 Not sure if this will work but go to page and complete that. It may or may not give you 1gb (it said it was limited time only) - Follow http://smugsmog.com/dropbox-scavenger-hunt-walkthrough/ this guide to make it easier.
3: +768mb - https://www.dropbox.com/free - Self-explanatory. I just did all the bull**** steps then unlinked it from facebook/twitter and deleted the tweet. Still gives you the free data.
4: +16gb!!! - This is the motherlode. I think it works with .sch.uk, anyway. Go here https://www.dropbox.com/edu and put in your .sch.uk address. You need to verify it by clicking the link. If it doesn't work you can still make 8gb for free, or try to find someone with a .ac.uk address (I used <my friends> and it worked fine). Once it's told you you get 500mb per invite, then you need to register an Adwords account at http://adwords.google.co.uk
UPDATE: Step 4 no longer needed, as dropbox provide 500mb free for each referral now anyway
Then you need to load it up with some free credit. I went here: http://www.newsvend.com/google-adwords-voucher.html and used my domain. It says you won't be successful unless you use a @yourdomain e-mail address so be careful.
You may also have free vouchers from web hosting (I did, had £30 with mine).
Anyway, load up your account with the freebie, and don't give it your payment details, that way the adds will run until your voucher runs out, so you won't rack up huge debt.
Once you've got an Adwords account with some free credit go here: https://www.dropbox.com/referrals and get the db.tt referral link that will credit your account (it's at the bottom)
Then set up an ad campaign in Adwords. My ad looked like the attachment, and I had it set to appear anywhere.
Keywords are important. attached is the keywords I used.
Obviously you have to replace my dropbox referral link with yours!
Anyway, once the ad is running, it took about 2 days before all the referrals had been used. That means 16gb free extra storage for life (or 8gb if your .sch.uk address doesn't work).
5: +5gb - This one won't last long so hurry if you want to do it.
http://dl-web.dropbox.com/u/17/Dropbox 1.3.12.exe Windows
http://dl-web.dropbox.com/u/17/Dropbox 1.3.12.dmg Mac
Download one of these betas, then fill a USB stick with 4.5GB of photo/video. Once the beta is installed plug the USB stick and (if on windows) select the autoplay option "add to dropbox". Apparently this doesn't work unless there's a DCIM folder on your SD card. Anyway, basically upload the 4.5gb of files, and Dropbox rewards you with another 5gb.
UPDATE: You now receive 3gb free for uploading files and folders. Just upload a couple of HD episodes of your favourite show, OR make a 3gb zip file and rename it .avi if you're struggling for ideas.
You could do all of this this evening and turn a 2gb account into a 25gb UBER ACCOUNT for free.
Awesome, eh?

I got 25Gb extra when sharing a folder
I got 25Gb extra space when sharing a folder with friends. In fact I have 2 emails and shared a folder with my second email address.
It did say I would get 250Mb, but seems to have bumped my account up by 25Gb after I shared out the folder. Not sure if that's because of the One X deal of if that's the same for everyone.

You can take out the dropquest2011 link as it doesn't work any more. If you've already started it however then you can still finish.

Hi
Most of you know Cook Android
and most of you used it and enjoyed it.
Sadly, This kitchen can go down any moment.
As you know, cooking rom needs a good server. But the problem is that we don't have enough money to buy a server.
You can help us by making a small donation.
If you want to help us, open http://cookandroid.com/ and press ChipIn.
Thanks everybody.​
Remember that you donate by pressing the "ChipIn" button, it's very important.
I've helped l1nuxfre4k with some of his server issues before, so while I'd like to encourage this, I'm not 100% convinced it will be sustainable. Out of respect for him and his projects, I won't reveal any of his costings (he is free to do so, or anyone who has his permissions) but a full dedicated server will cost hundreds of USD per month [just noticed, call it $80 as that's the request], as naturally it also requires a lot of storage and bandwidth.
In the initial months, donations will probably cover this, however if a month comes where they fall short, we will be in exactly the same place as where we started - they have to either use their own money to keep the project going or shut it down for months - but somehow store the terabytes of data externally for free (very unlikely).
This is the main reason I'd prefer that, somehow, a different route was taken (especially for Cook Android). If it stays small (by small, I mean like Desire only) I think the best form of 'donation' would be something like the donation of computing power (like cloud) from users with sufficient uplinks that when their PC is online, it will generate some ROMs, or the release of a user-binary where the application will download the ROM and cook it on their PC.
I would be all for the development and/or assisted development of such an application. Just my 2 cents.

This donation for Desire and Nexus One kitchen and we will make kitchens for more devices but we need people to manage them.
We can't update roms and apps for every device by ourselves. So we need people to manage those kitchens. It's so easy to make kitchen for another device but it's hard to manage it.
If we got enough donations, we will hire persons to manage those kitchens.
hi, i had a problem with your cook android. I made a rom with the core (Desire GR edition 2.0) and add some programs (from which are there in the site). It was told that everything was correctly done, but when i upload it to the phone, end in loop - not starting the rom. I tried to wait, i made a ext2. but it isn`t working.
Please help me.
thanks

What did you add to the rom exactly?

Did you change the boot animation?
Did you upload programs?

Maybe the problem is that you chose Apps2SD. You don't have to add Apps2SD since the rom itself has Apps2SD.

Public Service Announcement re: Dropbox

The update is absolutely THE single worst and cataclysmic update in Android history. Your grandkids will be asking you about the Dropbox disaster of 2011.
Anyways don't update it:
1. It will delete the Dropbox folder from your sd card,
2. Any files you want to save from the updated version of Dropbox must be "exported"; you have to choose the path every single bloody time,
3. "Favourites", or files available offline, are saved to android/data/data.
An analogy to drive it home: You buy a 2013 Porsche GT3, sight unseen, turns out the 2013 is based on a 1979 Lada chassis and drivetrain.
Haha, Thanks for the warning, I was just about to do my weekly updates too, I think I'll give this one a miss.
I suppose it's like going home with Liz Hurley and finding out she's Herrmann Munster

I wonder how long until they revert back??!!
Your analogy is also 100% valid.
I made the mistake of backing up via Ti BU before I realized how bad the update was. I ended up extracting the old version from a nandroid b/u.
Re: reverting to the old version, judging by the reviews, it shouldn't take long!
I've just got myself 50GB on box.net using the exploit, I think I'm going to leave dropbox, it just keeps going down hill like a turd on a slippery slide.

I'm out at the moment but do a search in the forums, I think they're is a thread in the general section. It involves editing your build.prop to mimic an LG so be careful.

What a load of BS. No files are deleted whatsoever. They have been moved to Android / data / com.dropbox.android / files / scratch.
So no more dedicated Dropbox subdir in root but finally in /Android. The way it should have been in the first place. Less clutter.

Again, false. Let's say you export a file to Dropbox/Test/FCOL. Upload another file? Boom there we are, again in Dropbox/Test/FCOL, nothing to be clicked to get there.
The new update rules. It looks amazing. Finally the possibility to upload multiple files at once (not a whole directory at once though, alas), the image/mp3 preview is nice, etc.
Can't please 'em all I guess. That's fine, just don't spread FUD for nothing please.
No problems here with Dropbox .

I say download, you say upload. The path of an exported file must be chosen every time. I didn't test upload, so I can't verify or refute your point.

Who are you, dropbox sales team leader??!!
FYI, I do enjoy it, but your talking out of your arse.
I can upload/download multiple files with box and 100mb is MORE than enough for me.
I also find box more user friendly than dropbox and with better speeds.
So you enjoy being a dropbox fan boy and climb back under your bridge.
The problem with Box.net is that it doesn't have a free-sync option from the desktop. Desktop sync is for Enterprise/Paid users. Dropbox free quota is totally free by all means.
I didn''t like the update either. It now saves files in
/sdcard/Android/data/com.dropbox.android/files/scratch
which unfortunately is more complicated than
/sdcard/dropbox/
but it's here now and I don't know how to roll back. Also when opening a file with dropbox, does it auto-upload a file when saved? I'm not sure it does anymore...

Increase Dropbox Storage Space by 4.5 Gigabytes

Here's link for a tutorial on a way to increase your dropbox storage for free.

Oh and if you don't have 4.5 GB of photo's around to upload here's a link to a dummy photo files that will be accepted into drop box. http://goo.gl/ircYf Just extract the tar file with either winrar or 7zip and you should a folder with 4.5 gigs of dummy photo images.

i've been filming high qual vidz on my phone.. 500mb each and uploading em one at a time. your way is faster
I have the new client installed, did it yesterday and I have 3 gig total space. When I uploaded your file, it got to the 3 gig limit and said I had used all of my space with out giving anymore.....any ideas??
Dropbox 1.3.12 is what I'm using....thanks in advance.
Drop box will only give the increased space if you upload it via the camera upload feature. So no uploading videos will not work, and also dragging the pictures into the camera upload folder in dropbox will not work also.
Also the new experimental build is 1.3.13
https://www.dropbox.com/help/287
Ok....I still dont get it...sorry. Do I need to move your file over to my phone and then plug it into my PC??
Edit: I got it...move pics to phone start everything and let them upload....I also have the new version...thanks.
Install the latest experimental build. Rename the folder to camera, if you are using your phone save it in your Internal Storage in the DCIM folder.
Then go to Control Panels > Hardware & Sound > Autoplay
Then put your phone into MTP mode by disabe usb debug mode in application development
Set your auto play to use drop box like below
Then plug in your phone again and it should start uploading via the drop box camera upload
Ooo thanks for the dummy files. I had started last night uploading what little pictures I actually had but this is much easier!

I don't think you read the directions.
FWIW, I just downloaded the experimental build of Dropbox to my computer, downloaded the dummy files in the OP, threw them on a thumb drive, unplugged and then plugged the thumb drive back in. The files transferred, then I just deleted the files from my Dropbox folder.
Didn't even mess with my phone.

That is also how I did it myself, those extra stuff was for the guy who was trying to do it with the phone and having trouble too.
I'm recording 100+MB videos and letting that upload. Very easy and quick in two hours i got mine up to 7.5 gigs. I'm wondering how high it's going to go. I'll post back when it stops increasing.
Edit: it stopped at 7.5 gigs. Oh well, good enough.

Dropbox activation

Hello,
How can I activate the free 25GB dropbox account on my One-X?
I've installed the app on my phone and logged on with my dropbox account, but it only shows 2GB...
check your gmail account, the one you used to sign in on your one x phone
you will receive something like this:
Hi,
Thanks for supercharging your HTC device with Dropbox! To get the most out of your Dropbox and claim your extra 23 GB of space, visit our Getting Started guide!
Enjoy,
- The Dropbox Team
note* only 23GB coz we already have the 2GB free previously
Question. Why did you install the app from the market when it should have been pre-installed.
If you did install from the market rather than use the pre-installed version, i suspect you've replaced the One X version which gives the update with the normal version that doesn't.
I would be happy to be wrong though...

When I follow that link it takes me to the dropbox site wich shows me "get started" You're 1 step away from a 250MB bonus.
Not sure if thats the right way because it asks me to do 7 steps to get the 250MB...

Didn't see it was already installed so I downloaded it. I now removed the downloaded version so the default one is installed (non removable), but I only get 2GB with this one as well.

just sign-in(ignore the get started)
and just to be clear, even the default dropbox that came within the phone will still show 2GB for the first time, you just have to follow the link in the email they sent you

guys i have a suggestion, try to enable camera upload for awhile, take some pics and then turn it off again after the pics taken are already synced, it's not a proven solution but you can try and then maybe it will update your storage also
Rycon, sorry if this is a dumb question, but how do you like using dropbox for additional storage with your phone? Is it integrated with any HTC apps? For instance, is it possible to drop music on the cloud and then stream through the music player? Apologies if this is a dumb question, but I haven't used Dropbox on a phone before.
If you want to store your music on the cloud, Google Music is the way to go. You can store 8,000 tracks for free, and stream/download them whenever you want.
If you are outside the US, you will have difficulties installing it as it is region restricted - but there is a relatively easy workaround to get in, and once you have uploaded one track you can access Google Music no matter where you are

I mainly used it for all my Family's pics and short videos, the good thing about it is it is synced to all your android devices and PCs and you can share any folder to any person/s with dropbox account also(so all of you can view all the pics/videos inside those shared folders). it doesn't matter who uploaded it, the shared folder will be synced to all of your different accounts. And I think it doesn't have filesize limit, which is great(others like Box.net only limts up to 100MB per file). I remembered sharing one .AVI movie on it, it's around 700MB.
Still have no 23GB or 25GB. I've e-mailed dropbox. Maybe they can clear things up.

Keep us posted pls
I never got any email either When I was setting it up it said to click on the get started icon on the webpage but since I already had a dropbox account it was already done.
I already had a Dropbox account, and with setting up my phone with the first boot, I filled in my login details.
A few hours later I received this e-mail:
Hi Joshua,
Congrats on becoming a Dropbox Guru! We've awarded you 23 GB of bonus space for the next 24 months! You now have 28.25 GB on Dropbox. To get even more space, check out our upgrade options.

Aren't you confusing SkyDrive with Dropbox? The One X gets 25 GB of storage on dropbox.

Thanks for the tip, i've got 25gb now.
Oh found it! Just go to https://skydrive.live.com/, login with ur Windows Live ID and then claim your upgrade Thanks for the tip OP!
I'm confused are we getting 25gb because we have a one x or because we already have a Windows live account?

It's because we already have a Windows Live account.
Tried to get this yesterday but couldn't see anywhere where I could upgrade after I logged in.
I've just tried again and still couldn't see it,but after switching to the pc site instead of the mobile site, voila I was given the option and now have the extra storage, thanks OP!

You only get offered the upgrade if you have been with skydrive for a while.

My hotmail account that is over 10 years old got the upgrade, my other one that is a year or two old didn't.
