Why Drop Box?

Honest question.. You only get 2 gigs for free.. With just Box you get 5 gigs free.. and they have random promotions.. For like every person you invite to box you get a gig free or storage up to 16 gigs worth.. and random huge promotions.. I got 50 gigs free lol.. and titanium backup uses it also.
Why do all of you use drop box? box is way better

Box limits the upload size on free accounts to 100mb, unless u managed to get the promo of either a 200mb upload limit or got lucky like me and got a 1gb limit. If i didn't have the 1gb limit I wouldn't use it as much since I have box.net and minus accounts plus I had a drop box account but it's only got 2.5gb of storage, on box I have 55gb and minus I have 13gb so really have no use for dropbox

I have both and more.
I like DB as it integrates into windows so easy.

I like dropbox because it very easy for you to transfer file jst by drag & drop without the limitations of file size :d

Why Tide?
Honest question. Why do you guys like Tide laundry detergent? Cheer does the same job and you normally get more for the same price. The laundry machines don't care and my shirts come out looking the same no matter which one I use. I got a free packet in the mail lol...and the local laundromats use it also.
Why do all of you use Tide? Cheer is way better.

Word!
Well said sir...

I have 8.5gb free space on dropbox...you get 250mb for every referred person up to 8gn...still don't know how I got 8.5. Convenient syncing, TB also uses it [not that I use it]. Unlike box, my upload size isn't limited, nor my link availability.

Lately i cant get my download link from dropbox, anyone know why ?

Dropbox is seamless, with all devices, great LAN sync for PCs, and also many third party apps use dropbox ie phone to chrome app/extension.
Plus lifehacker endorses it heavily so it has a wide following. Shrug.

well.. i'm 30, i've been using various programs and technology and whatnot for a long time. i went back to school recently to finish a bfa in motion capture and computer graphics. they used to use the internal server to store files from motion capture shoots and various projects, which sometimes got erased because IT and students had access to them. i suggested that we use dropbox because its very easy, and integrates so well, and only the class has access to it. we now make drop box accounts for each class/project, and all files are distributed accordingly. its very easy. thats really what it boils down to. the file limit is also good, because there isn't one. the school ended up paying for accounts to have large files accessible and thats what we use because of it.
its really cool to be able to access it from our phones, home computers, and school, without having to do anything other than log in. that's probably why its popular. i know there's other services available, but none are as easy to work with, and when a university is paying the bill, you can get whatever you want, and it works extremely well. plus, i personally installed the beta and did some media uploads and got 15gb for free, which is kinda cool. i really don't use that much of it because its mainly my work files for my job, just so i don't have to carry around a drive or worry about losing or forgetting a thumb drive, but its very useful. between phonemypc and dropbox, i always have access to anything i could ever need. esp when i forget something at home and i'm at work, and i have to log in to my computer from my phone, and do a copy/paste into my dropbox, and have my files accessible 2 minutes later. that's saved my ass i don't know how many times.

Drop box did it come with free storage ?

Can anyone tell me if you get the same 50gb drop box for 2 yrs as you do on the s3 ?
I'm waiting for my fab new note 2 to arrive tomorrow and thought id check ...
I have checked on line and varying websites report you do

Sent from my GT-B5510 using xda premium

I'm not sure that the extra GB from the S3 and the Note 2 will stack, as they're both from Samsung and such.
And also, it's technically 48gb extra (As you get 2gb to start with, in Dropbox, which puts it up to 50gb)

IM hoping it will and im sure people have ended up with stupid amounts of storage by getting the offers however I wont be dissapointed if not I have 55gb of storage
Mind you if it does work and im getting the note 10.1 this week also with the same offer could be 155gb of storage !!!!!!!
will report back

i got free size upgrade
about a week or two ago, i got an e-mail that said something about samsung dropbox upgrade. i don't have a samsung device. (have always had HTC phones and recently got an Asus Transformer prime). so i thought i would try it. i clicked the link in the email, it then took me to the dropbox site and asked for my login details. i did it and it upgraded my 2gb account which was full to 56 Gb.
The next day i click the link in the e-mail again and logged in with my other dropbox account and did the same thing.
thanks drop box.
When i get my note on Friday, wonder if i will then have 100GB?????

I already have a paid for dropbox account, and it didnt give me any more storage. Im guessing if id setup a new account id have got the extra 48 gigs...

I got already the space boost from S3 and did not receive any additional space when setting up the Dropbox account at my Note 2.
Gesendet von meinem GT-N7100 mit Tapatalk 2

I received this offer once for my Galaxy Note 10.1, BUT! didn't with Note II. I think they will not give you additional 50GB for each device you purchase & to the same account credentials. I do not want actually to make a new drop box account as it will not show the contents of my original one on all my devices which is why i am using drop box! Very strange, i paid money for each device, thus i deserve the bonus for each one!

its only for 2 years anyways, im not sure ill be happy to download all 50gb and upload to another site after the 2 years - not bad if the data isnt too important.

You only get one lot of 50GB space for 'samsung devices' so if you own a s3 and a Note 2 (or 10.1 note) you will only get 50gb not 100gb or 150gb

You should have gotten it anyway. It also adds 48 gb to paid dropboxes.

Not 50GB for 4 years?

Any conclusion on Whether I get 100 or. Should i give the extra 50 to a friend?

I asked dropbox and got the reply that i can't get two promotions on same account. Better gift it to a friend of urs.

Apparently it's not the same for every country. Just got my Note II yesterday and only got 50 GB for one year. Bummer :/
Does anyone know what happens when that period ends? Do you at least get to choose which files you get to keep on your free storage?

Yes.
If u have note 2, or note 10.1, u will get it.
But...
Some devs on note 1 also succeed to give rom which can give u extra 50gb on ur dropbox.
I flash a rom on my friend note 1, and he got the 50 gb.

Dropbox storage space

edit: Nvm, just got the upgrade email. Thanks anyways.

i got the 50gb when i got my gs3 before. should i get another 50gb for the note?

dropbox gives you 50 gb just for buying the note 2...register within the app they will send an email telling you how to get the other 48gb..they give you 2gb off the bat. i just did it literally seconds ago

Two years isn't too short, but I know what you mean. And to whom it may concern: I just logged into my existing account, and then I got the email about 48 GB automatically.

Please disregard. I unlinked and relinked my device and got the additional storage... SCORE!

Quick Office Free (Thanks 2 Google)

FREE UNTIL 9/26/2013
From now through Sept. 26, you have the opportunity to score an extra 10GB of Google Drive space, no extra charge.
The requirement: Install the new Quickoffice app for Android or iOS--which, incidentally, is also now free. Then sign into your Google account via that app. Presto! You get another 10GB of gratis storage.
Google recently purchased Quickoffice, and the fruits of their labor have finally bloomed. The app is now being offered for free for both Android and iOS, so you can do your document creation and editing without paying a cent.
Best of all, if you download the app, you can get 10 extra gigabytes of Google Drive storage for free! Sign in with your Google account in the app by September 26 and you’ll receive that 10GB for two years. Don’t expect to see it immediately; Google says it’ll be added to your account in the next few weeks.

Well, it is not free UNTIL 26.9.13, it is free without restriction, only that extra 10GB you can claim until 26.9.13. Also "recently" is very inaccurate, Google bought it more than 1 year ago.

It's free to download in the play STORE!! FYI
And to your "recently" quote! They may have bought it a year ago. But it's now being announced that's it's available for free until the 26 of Sept. But the Sept 26 date is for the extra 10 gigs of space you GET.

No, I did not lost you, buddy. Let see:
"FREE UNTIL 9/26/2013" ... definitely not true, it will be free without restriction, that means also AFTER that date.
"Google recently purchased Quickoffice,..." ... also not true, at least I think "recently" should be maybe couple of months max, not more than a year in this case. In this case is June 2012.
from your last post "But it's now being announced that's it's available for free until the 26 of Sept." ... also not true, it will be free without restriction (as I already told).
You are only right about that until 26.9 you should get free space.
Also, I see what did you probably mean with "FREE UNTIL 9/26/2013" now, you were talking about that free space. But from the context of subject of this topic it was not clear.
But nevermind, Happy QuickOfficing for everybody.

Just tried and got 48GB

Ok. Thanks. Not sure why you got 48GB, but it's close enough to 50 that I won't complain either way.

I also got 48GB. Technically, when combined with the 2-some-oddGB that dropbox gave me from the start, it ends up being like 50.7GB total, so maybe that's why they say "Get 50GB of Dropbox free!" I mean, after all, 50GB is such a nicer number than 48.

" Hi *******,
Congrats on becoming a Dropbox Guru! We've awarded you 48 GB of bonus space for the next 24 months. You now have 55.25 GB on Dropbox. To get even more space, check out our upgrade options.
Thanks again for supercharging your Samsung device with Dropbox!

I'm glad this promo is still active, as the 50GB from my ATT SGS3 "hack", was due to expire in the summer of 2014, but this'll extend it to the end of 2015, by which time 50GB should be the new minimum free amount of cloud storage anyway.
edit: fwiw, I also used the "virtual machine MAC address hack" (google it) to get another 20GB free, so I've got a total of 70GB for free (which is the max you can get afaik).

Same here, FWIW.
The 50GB that I got from my SGS3 is expiring June 2014, and the 50GB that I was supposed to get from my Note3 (during setup) was neither added to my current 70GB quota nor did it reset my expiration date.
Perhaps the way it works is that since the promos don't stack, then when one Samsung dropbox promo expires, the next one -- still hidden -- begins? In any case, it would be nice to have the confusion cleared up, so that I don't have to reupload after reactivating on my Note3 next summer.

That's why you pre-encrypt stuff you want to keep secret. I use encfs locally, and periodically sync it to various places like my VPS and DropBox, but others use TrueCrypt, gpg, etc.
As far as photos, I don't care if Agent P can see 'em, so I Dropsync 'em after I've deleted the crappy/blurry ones. (I'd sync with the official DropBox app, but it's dumb, in that won't delete the crappy/blurry ones you've deleted off your phone, so you'd have to do it twice).

My friend purchased a Note 3, but does not plan to use Dropbox. Is the Dropbox credit transferable? I would like to get it from him.
I read the FAQ at Dropbox (reference: https://www.dropbox.com/help/297/en) and it is stated, "The first Dropbox account that signs in to the app on the device will get 48 GB of free space." I'm thinking I can just sign in with my account on his phone, get the 48GB of storage immediately, then sign out. If he wants to create his own account, that should be fine. Is my assumption correct? Thanks.
Thanks!

When I first set up my phone, ti did the "log into dropbox for the extra space". I did it all but never got it. I did however have 50 gigs from when I bought my S3 a year and a half ago. Would that have stopped it from applying or would it have applied anyways?
