So following the support pages on Dropbox and HTC, I have performed every linking, unlinking, reinstalling computer app and Getting Started steps, (ALL SEVEN) spent literally hours and still no 23gb
Really disapointed that Dropbox/HTC could con us into thinking we would get 23GB - and from the forums I am not alone
Support is none existant. No one bothers replying to emails from support, I am just wondering does anyone else have any Voodoo
On a brighter note, i love my one x. battery is immense:

its a beautiful phone, incredibly responsive and the camera is amazing.
The only thing i can't do is attach it to my Router (its an old one and says mac code is invalid) think its the age of the router more than anything!
Anyway, if anyone else has a way of getting me my 23gb on Dropbox i would be incredibly grateful! Thanks
I use Box and much prefer the interface.
Got in before the 50gb lifetime accounts expired so i didn't even bother with dropbox.

Have you done the startup tour in Dropbox? https://www.dropbox.com/login?cont=https://www.dropbox.com/gs
It's called the Getting Started Tour and rewards 250MB after you complete. I remember my phone telling me that I need to complete that to get the HTC free space.
It should auto link as it worked for mine. I now have 40+GB
I completed only 5 of the 7 things I think and it it sent me an email for being a dropbox guru, also saying thanks for supercharging your HTC device with Dropbox (maybe you have to go back in to Dropbox once you've uploaded?). Then it just says you've been awarded 23gb.
Same here, I got the phone on launch day and done 6 out of the 7 tasks on Dropbox webpage, still have not got the extra 23gb.
Not really a big deal for me since the extra storage is only for 2 yrs and I already have 7gb with dropbox. Beside now both Microsoft (7gb free) and Google (25gb $5/year from old upgrade) have better deals, I'm going to use dropbox less and less.
[/URL]
I have actioned the getting started page several times, watched the video on both mobile and computer, i have logged in and out on computer and device and nothing.
As i say, i think it was just a con to get you buy the phone, the fact that dropbox and htc aren't responding to support questions just exasperates this for me
"You've earned 23gb"
"You can now store up to 7.25gb..."
....huh???
I can't post pics as I am a new member but I've only done 5 of 7 and mine says
"You've earned 23gb"
"You can now store up to 25.75gb..."
Yeah mine says this... Not sure why yours isn't working.
it tells you that you have earned 23gb, this along with the standard 2gb that dropbox give makes 25gb.................what are you expecting?
This is what i did to get my 23gb.
1. Logged in to Dropbox via the app on my phone
2. Logged in to dropbox on my computer and went to the getting started page
3. Watched the demo and all completed all the other remaining tasks
4. Logged out and back in, i got the message i had 23gb extra
same here. It took a few days before mine showed up, but it got there in the end.

Try uploading a few docs or pics from your phone and sharing them with one of your friends.
I got mine after 10 minutes of completing everything and have uploaded some pics from my phone
Mine was instantaneous after logging in through my dropbox app...I love this feature btw. Instant camera upload is the best

Worked fine for me. Turned on the phone, filled in my details and a few minutes later I had the extra 23GB. I didn't have to do anything else to get it.

How can it be a con if the majority of people receive the 23 GB...
Yes, confusing isn't it
I have earned 23gb, but only have 7gb
Im not making it up!
I have tried all other things (the camera uploading tricks).
I gave gone through getting started (on the phone as well).
I am at a loss other thinking this is a ruse to sell phones or there is a fault.
Its frustrating as I wanted to back up my itunes!
I got my 23gb with no probs at all, just followed the onscreen instructions.

Wouldn't really consider this a con, seen it's an 'extra feature'. Your situation seems unique, and I think by contacting Dropbox they wouldn't be that resisting to help you out..

My computer can't upload anything now, since it has become old. It would freeze if I would upload a ROM anywhere.
This is why I use my phone to upload my Roms, using Minus app or 4shared app.
I need a person who can upload to maybe, Mediafire, immediately after I've uploaded mine to 4shared or Minus.
This is so people will get a Mirror and not have any problems with downloading
Thanks guys
Peteragent, computers don't slow down significantly without cause...
An updated or new piece of software (be it an application, server or driver) could be the culprit. Malware perhaps?
Bloated registry with too many left-over entries?
IDE HDD controller reverting to PIO mode? (Depending on the vintage of your rig.)
HDD seek/read errors?
Thermal throttling? What are your temperatures at idle like? Under load? Dust-covered heat sinks and degraded thermal paste could have a role.
Your (maybe new?) friends:
SpeedFan (checks both temperatures and S.M.A.R.T hard disk drive trend monitoring)
HighJackThis (careful!)
CCleaner (privacy tools, but also a decent registry cleaner)
Memtest86+ (RAM error testing)
Prime95 (CPU stress test)
Good luck,
Darkshado
You could always try using an ubuntu live cd/usb if it can't upload then, it's the hardwired ;-)

But it's my Dad's computer (the only one) that has lived after 20 years of Restoring and Restoring...
After all that, I know its time is limited, because I get a Cylic Rendundancy Check EError from time to time, and I found out that the Hard Disk became old and unable to use anymore (but I still am using it)
Thanks to all of you for volunteering a replying here! 'D
20 years? Sure that's not a typo?
(20 years ago my family's sole PC computer was an 486DX2 machine running at a whopping 66 MHz with 8MB of RAM. It had been upgraded from a 386 33 MHz processor around that time, its original configuration; including a 100MB HDD and 4MB of RAM going back to 1990. AT form factor, not ATX.)
Or is it like the story of the axe you've had for years; changed the handle three times and the head twice, but it's still the same axe?
Stop using the computer until you've made backups. Seriously.
Like it or not, you're going to need some new hardware. Probably a hard drive, but do yourself a favor and test the RAM too.
How old is your power supply? Motherboard? Depending on the quality of the components and the stresses they've been subjected to, you may start seeing failures of those as well.
Ehhh, yeah I think I made a typo. What I meant to say was 30 years.
Huh? Why are you talking about Axe's? Stay on topic here...!
Ohhhh do you mean that stinky perfume Axe? I think that's fake, it doesn't attract girls! Are they crazy? Plus, it smells bad
My Dad always Restores cause my brother and I keep wrecking the computer LOL. Plus my Dad says that it's still good if you use it only for media and browsing... Lol but I use it for developing. That's the only Computer we have... Except the one my parents secretly hide/keep from us in their bedroom... Lol I did use to have an Ok Laptop, but my brother went on a rampage and squeezed water from soaked toilet paper to our Laptop LOL. This was before i got a phone and checked out XDA.
All the components of my computer (My Dad's Laptop) is worn out and old... Lol

Yup I am saving up money! But whenever I see food, my money from my wallet ends up paying for the Food LOL

I've sworn some time ago to never give another cent of my money to HP. Bad customer support experience. That bad. Short version: Printer drivers stubbornly picking A4 when they should pick Letter.
I know pretty much exactly what I want in my next laptop, and the machines that fit the bill are far and few in between.
Right now I'm waiting a few more days for the Ivy Bridge chips to come out, and *maybe* the next AMD 7000 series mobile GPUs. (Although Optimus weighs heavily in favor of nVidia in my case. And ATI drivers haven't provided me with a good experience in the past.)

So long story short at the beginning of this month i called Verizon because i was having major issues with my Nexus and was able to get them to cough up a brand new one instead of refurbished device and was super excited, got the new phone and began having issues right out of the box. At first i thought it had to do with unlocking and rooting but found out soon enough it was something wrong with the device, i lost count on how many times ive gone back to stock and how many factory resets ive done.
Camera app would crash when i was focusing, zooming, turning flash on off & same with video record. I could only record for about 10 seconds (if that) before getting either a black screen or a beautiful force close screen and to top it off sometimes i would have to battery pull in order to even get the camera back up and running for another 10 seconds.
YouTube i couldnt watch more then 40 to 60 seconds of any video before it would completely just freeze except for the audio. I would force close this app and the audio would just keep going and this was no matter if i was on a call or not i could here the audio in the back round.
Other apps on the phone where behaving the same and today i finally was fed up so i made a trip down to the store and got the whole store involved with attempting to figure out what the hell was going on with it, manager said this is the first device since release that he or his employees have seen with this type of issue. What was even more shocking to him was that it was a brand new device and then he hit me with he couldnt give me another new one but a refurbished one that he could order so i decided to leave the store and come home to spend the last 45min on the phone with a VZW tech and finally i got him and his supervisor to budge, another new device should be here tomorrow and hopefully i wont have any issues with but only time will tell. My point of this post is to not only rant of course and get some feedback from members to see if anyone else out there is having or has had any issues like this??
I also thought about waiting for the supposedly 4.0.4 update to drop tomorrow but honestly at this point with how many factory resets ive done and have been running stock no unlock or root for two days i think its honestly something wrong with this damn phone i got rather then something wrong with permissions or anything like that. Anyhow so much for a short story let me know what you guys think.
Thanks.
Well...that just sounds like terrible, horrible luck...
Should have gotten an iPhone perhaps
the one u have should still be under warranty...send it back

You are lucky that you got a new one. I am receiving my fourth refurbished "like new" Galaxy Nexus from Verizon this week. Every single one I get mutes the audio on the other caller's end, and one of these phones also would drop data when it went to sleep.
I get the feeling that people are turning in their Nexus phones because of the dropping audio problem, and then Verizon is sending them right back out because they can't find the problem in their testing. How in the world could I get 4 straight broken Galaxy Nexuses?
I really don't want to have to switch to a Razr...
Should have gotten the refurbed one, atleast that way a human was working on it, to see if it functions right.

I bought my N8 10 days ago and immeditely applied for the Google Play Store credit - I haven't received the confirmation email either. I have called 3 times and written to Samsung Support from their Facebook page several times. I was told that they are having issues with this process and that a supervisor would call me within 24 hours. That was 5 days ago..... no call yet. They're really making us work for that $25.
Got I t pretty fast actually then I got a 10 dollar prepaid debit card because I participated in a survey for Samsung about screen sizes for the next note 3. I guess theyre real interested on what is too small too big and jussssst right. Thanks samsung. I didn't believe theyd send me anything but sure enough about a week later I got it in the mail.

Moral of the story. Read those emails Samsung sends you when you register because they offer you to take surveys sometimes and even thought they might take 20 minutes they actually do pay up.

Thanks dude for clarifying that
Technically you'll still have unlimited data, just at a much slower speed.
You would be surprised how many company s are doing this already. There are actually many cable company's that are doing this also. This is unfair for those that use peer-to-peer networking to transfer non illegal stuff.
Honestly t-mobile is the only company that offers truly I unlimited at a reasonable price. Att for 2 lines I would have to pay 60 and he 5gb of data to SPLIT between the 2 lines.

I use them to download Linux distros. You would be surprised how many artist and movies actually release there work on bit torrent sites for free.

I could go on.
A lot of movie studios, record company, and independent artist will do this to hype there movie or even get people to donate to them and lets the consumer pay what they want for the movie. A good example of this would be a small mom and pop store may practically give things away to get people in the door and away from the big business. So in Turn if people can down load the torrents the company will not make money.....But the fact is the portion of people that are doing this is pretty small, but some people still do it. Again just like the amount of people that will shop at a mom and pop store opposed to Walmart,Target,Whole Foods,Ex...
I just ditched att after 6 years because they were throttling my data at 5gs. I unlocked the sim, bought a tmo sim for $10.75 and now I pay 80per month for unlimited data, phone, tx, with zero throttling and no contract. I get extremely fast 20-30 mbps download speeds and have ditched the $45 per month att wifi. I am at almost 100gs this month by running my n3, laptop, and kids ipads. I do not go to torrent download sites at all, am I in jeopardy of being throttled by tmo ???
yep; if you continue to use 100 gigs per month, eventually you will be throttled..
XiPhoneUzer, I did the exact same. I paid more than necessary for YEARS to hold on to my "Grandfathered Unlimited Plan" despite generally using wifi and using (sometimes well) under 2 gigs of mobile data every month for the prior year (not to mention crippled, locked-down bootloader phones). It was the "just in case" mentality, ya know? Well, about a year ago now, "just in case happened"... I lost power in my apartment for like a week (obviously no modem / router / computers...) Man, I sure was glad I held on to that Unlimited plan! Immediately started watching some Netflix and... taking care of business (such as downloading a couple new Linux ISOs). Well, I hit 5 gigs mobile data that night. Got a warning message at like 4990 MB, then 5 mins later, my connection was immediately throtled down to completely "can't load a webpage" unusable. ATT reps were super helpful, like, "Man, that's too bad." and "At least you only have to wait until next Wednesday." Wouldn't even "let" me pay for more data with a usable connection! ... I no longer make use of their services.
On topic... my concern is: Is this going affect people who use clearly legitimate apps / services like BT Sync? That is, am I going to need to keep my KeePass database synced across devices via USB otg every time I update it on my computer, or some multi-step LAN upload? No, I'm not cool with keeping that kind of thing on GDrive or whatever.
You guys need to research and chill. They are only interested in the very top downloaders. These are people moving Terrabytes/month. Your 100GB is probably not even on the radar. They are also only applying the throttle to those users when the network is crowded and those people are causing problems for other users on the network. This is not the time to freak out about it. Watch, and call them on their BS, should it be called for, but for now, it's really not. This isn't a comcast style "kill all connections that look like bittorrent" deal.
To give some idea of scale, they claimed that they were contacting 20 users for this first time. Seems quite reasonable, right now. If they start to get bad, they have to know they will be called out on it. Save the rage, we might need it later.
So just opened up Google Photos for the first time on the new Moto Z droid. And was presented with this. I haven't read about this anywhere else so just thought I'd let you guys know

Um, this is great and all... so what happens after 2 years and you uploaded a ton of photos and take up like a few terabytes? I don't really see anyone that would actually go for the full resolution unless they're really serious into their photography. RAWs and JPEGs can get really big, so a few terabytes of photos is not to unrealistic, right? So, would Google then prompt you to pay like 10 bucks a month for Google Drive to store your photos?

What happens after the 2 years? LOL.. These are just gimmicks really.. if you don't want to pay for additional storage now, you wouldn't wanna pay 2 years later.. because you will have to after you've used the storage and the only options would be to pay or have your photos compressed again.

It takes you 1 minute to resize ALLL pictures you have to the unlimited size, really easy and fast, do not worry; I did it, search in options on google photos in your computer, it is reallllyyyyyy easy
This is a good news
Anyone know what 'high quality' means? What kind of quality loss can one expect over 'original?'
