How do i get my 25GB Dropbox?

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

I got mine,
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.

dropbox - no free 23GB

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.
Do a search on the One X forums for dropbox.

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

I didn't use any modified apk's. Still no space.

not concerned about the files so much, more that this account has 8gb space and i wanted the 23gb on top of that.

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.

Skydrive offers 25GB Free Storage (Limited Offer)

I use Sky drive a lot more than dropbox since I have Windows 8 the intergration is good. Today they are offering a free upgrade to 25GB of Cloud storage. Just login to Skydrive select Claim your 25 GB and click on Free Upgrade. Done
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/skydrive/loyalty

Don't all wp7 owners get 25 Gb anyway. Thought that was normal or am I missing something?
Sent from my Radar 4G using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

Well yeah the title is a little bit misleading.
SkyDrive used to offer 25GB for every user for free, but today they decreased that to only 7GB because over 99% use less than 7GB (and that is still more than Dropbox offers).
However, if you have been a user in the past and already use more than 7GB you will get to keep your free 25GB. If you do not use more than 7GB of the service you have to sign in and go to manage storage, from there you can get a free upgrade to 25GB for the time being.

Also as a side note if you made a account after April 1st you will not get the free upgrade. For New WP users they had to April 22, if you already had more than 7gb on SkyDrive you will be automatically keep the old 25GB storage amount. Now I would advise people to go hit up your old hotmail accounts and click that free upgrade.

Thanks
The title is a bit misleading and maybe think about changing it , but you are correct and thanks for the information. just took advantage of the free upgrade

IIRC there is Revision tracking for Office documents. You can see who edited what and revert changes.

I have DropBox also... but 2GB doesn't cut it.

And I also like prices for paid service!!!
p.s. the 7 to 25 GB update is only for accounts that already uses skydrive (or account that used it once)

Thought so. Yet, this is frustrating.. ;/
Edit:
Also, shared files/folders doesnt seem to appear together your own files. That is really bad..

Thanks for this....I've been using skydrive for a long time now but, just for a few documents and some WP7 apps (store their files on it). I was using less than 1gb, but, now I got plenty of space.
Can Zune (on my WP7 phone) stream from there ?

Zune, currently, cannot stream from SkyDrive, but Cloud Music can.

Did you get your Dropbox bonus?

Hi!
I set up a Dropbox account when I set up my HTC One X. It says you get an extra 25GB with you activation. Sadly I didn't get mine so I'm wondering where I can get that extra space.
Thanks,

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 got mine by just logging into my account and following all the steps including sharing a folder with someone. It's not made plain but there are a few steps that need to be completed it was easier logging into my account on my laptop and sorting it

If you used the cracked apk to get the space earlier, you'll need to make a new account. Just delete the old one, and create a new with the same email.

I Got 50GB
I had a free dropbox account with only 2.25GB of space. I was just trying to get more space. After I linked my dropbox to my SIII, I went to dropbox website and clicked on free space. 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?

Pics of bonus
Here are some pics from dropbox website and email from them!

Yeah, I knew the deal lasts for 2 years, but I was wondering when or if they'd stop offering this deal for GS3 buyers. Thanks anyway, man.

anyone know what happens to your memory after 2 years? do your files get deleted? or if you lets say used up all 50 gigs and you free up 2 gigs then they basically take it away and now your down o 48 gigs?

https://www.dropbox.com/help/333/en
If your paid account expires or is downgraded, or the space granted to your account by a promotion expires, all of the files in your Dropbox folder will still be available to you on your computers, phones, and via the Dropbox website. However, Dropbox will only sync the amount of space allotted to your Dropbox account. This means that new files added to your Dropbox will not sync to other computers or be available online until the amount of disk space used in your Dropbox drops below the amount of Dropbox space allotted to your account.
For example, if you have more than 18 GB worth of files in your Dropbox and you downgrade your account to a Dropbox Free (up to 18 GB - 2 GB + 500 MB per referral) account, all files in your Dropbox will remain in your Dropbox folder and you will be able to view and access them online via the Dropbox website. Once you move files from your Dropbox or add new files, they will no longer sync or be available online until the amount of file space used falls below your Dropbox space. This remains true even if you re-add a file that was previously synced.
