How do i get my 25GB dropbox? I setup a new account on the phone when i set it up but i still only have the minimum
Same here, I logged into the app when i turned on the phone and I havent received my 23gb or any email. I installed a hacked XDA members app that game me 23gb before I got the phone but the next day Dropbox had removed the 23gb!
you have to invite people to join drop box in order to gain more space. Based on the email I got they just upped the Max amount of space you can get. You can also gain some space by uploading photos if you have not already.

You're meant to get 25gb of storage (or 23gb if you're already an existing user) when you buy a HTC One Handset.
You get an email few hours later.
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 !

That might have something to do with it; dropbox have said that they're going to be removing the space from people who used apps which spoofed the One X to get the extra 23GB, so if they've done that to your account it's probably not going to automatically re-add the space just because it's got another install claiming to be from a One X. You might need to contact them.

Yeah, i've sent them an email, will await a response but doubt they will do anything about it now after the app I installed before lol.
try going to https://www.dropbox.com/account#manage
and unlink your computer and phone and re-log into dropbox from your devices and it should re-set itself!
Didn't work and it's starting to bug me

The HTC super charged email came very quick, but I didn't seem to get my storage until ...
I completed 5 of the getting started tasks, or until I installed the pc version. (not sure which gave me it, but I did both)

Maybe all the tasks have to be completed but that's a bit annoying I think the phone should set it up immediately

4 days and still no increase for me.
i got 2 mails from dropbox, followed the link in the one that says "follow this to claim your 23GB", landed in a 7-step process which you have to complete to get 250MB (as it says)...
didn't complete it btw, i'm on 4/7 or something
so what's with this mess?
1. do you get automatically 25GB after you create an account from the phone?
2. do you get 25GB after you complete that retarded 7-step thing instead of the displayed 250MB?
I got the mail 5 mins after I installed on my Desktop.
I take it back, it just worked.
Now I just need my battery life sorted.

AH LOL!!!
i completed one more step -for a total of 5 out of 7 - (create a shared folder) and i got a popup on my desktop saying "Good News: the space has been increased to 25GB"
nevertheless, a good initiative from HTC&Dropbox but executed like ****.
LE: got another mail:
"Congrats on becoming a Dropbox Guru! We've awarded you 23 GB of bonus space for the next 24 months! You now have 25.75 GB on Dropbox. To get even more space, check out our upgrade options. Thanks again for supercharging your HTC device with Dropbox!"
I still have not got email from dropbox or increase in space after 2 days.
I'd like to ask you guys what can we used the 25GB for?
I currently have 7.2GB throught their beta program and only used 1.4GB. I mean we can not stream music with dropbox, got Google Music for that. We can not stream video without downloading it 1st, I've PLEX setup for that as well. Also the size is too small to be used as backup for files on PC.
So any ideas on how to use the 25GB space?

How many of the getting started tasks have you done? It really seems that it's to do with going past five of them that activates it.

6 out of the 7, done them before getting the One X, only one left is to invite someone. Maybe there is a bug when most of the tasks are already done.
I'm not really bothered about the extra space on dropbox, but will send them an email if it still not working after a week.
I already setup a dropbox account a few weeks ago in preparation for when I got my one x - did the usual tricks to get some extra space to start with. As soon as I logged into dropbox on my one x, I got an email instantly advising me of the extra 23GB -great service imo.
Just need something to upload now lol - but of a useless feature for me at the moment now I think about it but I'm sure I will make use of it in the future.
anyone else had the same issue as me with dropbox not getting the 23gb free space?
it is a brand new phone, and i have only signed into it with my one dropbox account.
signed into dropbox and still only 8gb. emailed them and not had a reply.
any help would be appreciated.
There is another main thread regarding this. It takes a few days to get the extra storage but does happen eventually.

You need to log into dropbox.com and go through all the getting started steps. After this you instantly get an extra 23gb of storage. At least this is what happened for me.
I completed the GS guide ages ago. I am still without the extra storage.
I have contacted support who responded with a canned response. "Complete the "Getting Started" guide", which I stated I had in the original email.
That was over a week ago, no response yet, nor do I have the storage.

my situation isn't quite the same. i signed in with an existing dropbox account on the pre-installed dropbox app and i have not got my 23gb free space. It has been over 2 weeks now and emailed dropbox a week ago.
my girlfriend also got a one x with me, she got her 23gb free space right away.

I did it with my existing account too and on the first attempt of going through the 'Getting Started' guide, no extra storage for a few days.
Then I re-opened the link from the same original email, just clicked some of the items not 'ticked' on the list and got an instant message saying storage had been increased.

Mine initially didn't add the extra space, but it was there around 20 mins later when I re-checked it. In the time I had visited the website also so maybe existing customers need to do this?

Right well I would suggest contacting HTC UK Support regarding this then.
Did you download the hacked dropbox .apk from a few weeks ago? I did and I havent gotten my extra 23GB, that's something to consider
No need to complain.
1. Ensure you have a Dropbox account created within Settings > Accounts and sync
2. Upload a picture or document from your phone.
3. You will get an email "Get free Dropbox space" stating "to claim your extra 23 GB of space, complete five steps from your Getting Started Guide". Once you click the link and complete 5 steps you get another email.
4. Email subject "Dropbox bonus space received!" confirmation sent.

Think this could have a lot to do with it .The account i have that used the hacked dropbox app won't upgrade to 23Gb but another non hacked account gave me the 23GB

ahhh right enough the one that won't upgrade had 6.25Gb on it too
I had a similar problem. I remember getting an email about receiving extra space when I was on my sensation running a sense 4 ROM. I didn't claim the space, and when I got my One X I didn't get an email about claiming the extra 23gb. Maybe my chance was wasted when running sense 4 on my sensation.
Anyway, I just set up Dropbox with my secondary Gmail account and got the space straight away. Everything synced over from my existing dropbox folder on my laptop.
I wouldn't be too concerned about not getting the 23gb on top of your 8gb anyway... The 23gb is only for 2 years so I wouldn't get too attached.
Edit: looking back through my emails, 3gb of the 7gb I have on my first dropbox account is from supercharging my sensation, and it expires after a year anyway. Defo worth just setting up the new account and getting the 23gb.

with box, dropbox and skydrive, with least 10gb of space, why would you go use google drive when it is only 5gb?
its out 2day if you dont have it yet.

dropbox only gives u 2gb. u have to get people to register to get more space. check out cx and minus, also.
i've got 4.6gb on dropbox, after playing with the beta and uploading lots of stuff for the increased space...
got 50gb on box.net, but 100mb file limit sux.
I have a box 50gb account but that is very hard to fill up with the 100mb max single upload limit so I'm all for Gdrive

I've over 13gb on dropbox, all from referrals and the quiz they had. No size limit on files on dropbox seals it for me.

I had a problem on mine using existing account. Think it was to do with running custom roms on my Sensation based on One S.
I had to email their support who then told me to go through the list on my account to gain extra space, like install on pc and recommend Drop box to a friend.
It still was not on after this so i emailed again and within the day it was activated.

yep that done the trick for me aswell, in my haste to get everything up and running i had forgotten that we have complete at least 3 out of 5 'tasks' (or is it 4 out of 6 or something like that) anyway, i had only completed 2 out of 5,
so i 'referred a friend' task (used one of my old yahoo email accounts) and that gave me enough tasks done to get the 25gb storage ...
Same here. Added my existing dropbox account on startup, completed survey on the website. +25GB!

there was a mod going around to give you the 25gb on any android version/handset, if you used this then you will not get the free space
Sean - Dropbox Support, Apr 11 06:00 pm (PDT):
Hi,
You have not received the 23GB Dropbox bonus as you previously installed a modified, unauthorized version of our Android App. This was not part of the official Dropbox 23GB HTC promotion, and the space earned in this fashion space has been removed from your account.
Downloading apps from unknown sources is not a good idea, as they might have been modified to include malicious code. We strongly recommend that you only install the Android Dropbox app via Google Play (formerly known as the the Android Market) or from official download links on www.dropbox.com.
However, if you now have an eligible HTC device you can still earn the extra 23GB of extra Dropbox space, but it will take us some extra time to credit you with this space.
You will also need to take the extra steps of reinstalling the app from from Google Play (formerly known as the the Android Market). When you have done so please reply to this email.
best,
Sean

You don't get it 'til you go on the Dropbox site and complete some sort of tutorial thingie.
In the email you get, it should take you to a page where it tells you how many of the 7 steps you have completed. You must complete at least 5.

I linked my facebook to dropbox and after I did so. Dropbox emailed me and awarded me 50GB for 24 months. Wow what a bonus! Did any SIII owners get the same?
