I read somewhere that with Note II you get 50 G Dropbox. I have a Dropbox account previously with 2.75 G. When I signed in with Note II it doesn't seem to automatically increase to 50 G. I wonder how to get the increase?
Does not work with att and verizon

I had the same problem but I just got an email stating that my dropbox account has been upgraded to 50GB. Only thing I did differently is open the dropbox app directly and boom I got the email.

Sorry, im not totally sure what I did. I got the email when I opened the dropbox app directly. I did not get the email during the intial setup of the phone.
I don't remember exactly how I did it but I have 50gb. There is a separate Dropbox app that it uses to know it's a 50gb

I just singed in to my account from the email i received. I already had 25gb +2 gb bonus. Once I signed in i now have 77+ gb of space. Didn't do anything special. Just logged in. Though the extra 50gb is only for 2 years. Not sure what will happen to my files if I manage to fill that space up.

Download that rom & either install it or pull the dropbox app from it. Login into your account & a few mins later, you should receive an email from Dropbox saying that your account has been updated for 50GB or something like that. Took about 5-10 min or less upon signing in.

Ok so what email... who what when where did the email come from??
If your phone did not come with dropbox preinstalled, you wont get the space. ie att did not agree with dropbox therefore no app was preinstalled.

The only way to get this to work is to install the T-Mobile ported rom and log into dropbox. After you login and sync with device, you will receive
a email.
ATT did not contract with dropbox so no other way around this, only like stated from above post, you go into the rom and just pull that file.
would this work if u already did it with sgs3?
For everyone trying to get the free 50gb Root and install the multipane window thing, It will take less than 10 minutes to do everything. Highly worth it
Oh that kinda sucks
Thanks for all the inputs!
Sent from Note II
I got it to work. I registered when I first got the phone with stock everything on it. Then you have to log into their website and do something like 5/9 tasks they have given you to unlock 50GB.
so im on ATT and didnt get this wonderful storage, so i did ask suggested and grabbed that rom and pulled out the dropbox apk. sideloaded it onto the phone and logged in, nothing happen no email, or notification of this extra storage wonder what i might have done wrong
I wish people would read. Verizon and AT&T opted out of this promotion. You cannot get the Dropbox space from a phone (unmodified) from either of these carriers.
Sent from the world's largest smartphone: Galaxy Note II.
oh i read mr high and mighty...also read that people said to EITHER A) load that rom or B) pull the apk out of the rom and load it to the phone. I realize and understand that AT&T opted out of this deal but people keep saying it worked for them and not a single person has said they got it from being on a different carrier or from just using the rom or even just the apk from said rom. so maybe you should just calm the **** down and not respond if you have nothing to add that helps anyone, you seem to just troll this so you can ***** and complain instead of help
Create an account and login dropbox on your phone. Then you get an email with a link on how to get 50 gig. I think its dropbox.com/gs. There are 7 steps they lay for you to get 50 gigs. You only need to do 5 of the 7.
Example.
Create a shared folder in drop box and share it with someone.
Install drop box on your main PC
Install drop box on another PC
Email your friends asking them to join.
Login to dropbox on your mobile phone and upload a picture.
They show you each and update the page once you accomplish each one. It takes about 20 minutes.
The bummer I found out later. It's not a lifetime storage like when box.com ran their promotion. It's only good for 24 months.

No you don't need to download anything to jumpstart it. It was only after Google notified me via email that my Drive was ready that I needed to download anything.
Wonder what they are using to queue accounts to provision?
I heard about it yesterday, signed up online and it was ready in the time it took me to click 'get started with 5gb' button.
Gdrive
Since having 2 google accounts, one private and another for business, guess the apps, google apps, associated accounts went first and it's up and running.
The private one is still on docs, actually reverted back to docs since GDrive is still not ready...
So to recap, google for business first then all else

Mine was ready pretty much instantly as well on a private account. Then again I used Google docs prior and had a couple files uploaded to it. Perhaps that is another factor as I think Google docs was rolled into Drive.

Hi Guys.
yesterday I helped a friend upgrade her galaxy nexus to JB, and I asked her whether she had anything important on her phone she said no.
Turns out I wiped the phone, and when i ask her to sign to her google account to bring her contacts she doesnt know her gmail!
We try to use google account recovery using her email addresses but turns out none of them were used when the new account was setup.
I did take an application backup with halaxy nexus toolkit, but it seems it's just that. apps with no google account info.
Anyone has any idea that might help me? I'd really appreaciate it.
Hire a nice hacker to hack the password, then change it. Fast.
Contact Google.

yeah I did, but they might take a while.
When I set her up, we didnt put any security questions or anything, so it'll be very difficult to recover through google.
I'm thinking whether somehow I can have a look at the apks or the .bak file we took, and find the username at least , in this way at least
I can tell google where to look
Normally you would have had to use a secondary email address when signing up for Gmail for password reset reasons. Is there an option for that when trying to reset password?

We had a try at the password recovery using an email address that we think it's correct (usual combination of name/birth year etc)
Once you go into the gmail password recovery page It shows you part of the email address (the domain is ok but the rest is blacked out)
I recognize the domain name being something I usually use as a fake email when I'm trying something quickly. so I'm pretty sure we got her email address right now.
Unfortunately due to the domain being fake I can't recover her password using that email address.
I remember writing her newly created email and password in a piece of paper and saying. once you get home change the password and update all your details to the correct. ( well that didn't happen :-/ )
If she's ever signed in through her PC and saved her passwords through her browser then you could recover it from the saved passwords list.

I hope for your own sake, that she didn't just store her contacts locally. I saw that many times, especially women usually don't bother and keep hacking their numbers in just like that, without thinking about setting up sync or contact cloud beforehand. Good luck!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Any chance that she has all her contacts stored on her SIM card?
If so, just create a new Google account and restore her apps...
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Actually, when she got the new phone, I think the way I copied all the contacts from her older phone was into the SIM, put the old SIM into the new phone and imported them.. (my memory is bad, but that kinda makes sense for coming from a dumbphone to an android)
I just asked her and she might still have the old phone and the old SIM. so maybe there is a chance there, gotta wait for her to go home and try to find it..
This will definitely teach me a lesson.
take a freaking nandroid, whatever your friends say!
PS: I reckon I'm stressing more about this than she is.. if it happened to me i'd be a royal pain in the bum.

Obviously it couldnt be me, so i reported it and immediately changed my password and enabled two step verification. But still, i would rather stay on the safe side and use a completely new account. Normally i would do just that without a seconds though, but i have paid for apps with this account. so i was wondering if it would be possible to transfer those apps to a new account.

You need to email each developer for the paid apps. They will have you verify some things and get you the app on your new account.

Hi I'm new to these forums and I must say I love them! There's so much useful information!
So I thought that when buying this tablet I would get a bunch of free stuff. (50 gigs of dropbox, free linkedin pro for 3 months, etc...) I can't find any information about this anymore, I'm I missing something? Does anyone have any clue how to do this? I have already registered my device with Samsung btw.
Thanks in advance,

You should receive an email detailing the offers, sent to the address from which you registered your Samsung account. BTW, some of the offers, like the NYT access, begin from the time you register the account, NOT from the time you first access the offer. So, the first time I tried to access the Times premium content, it told me something like my premium access trial had expired, and asked whether I'd like to continue with a full-price subscription?
HA! Not likely...

Have you registered your device via the Galaxy Perks page?
Log in to your Samsung Account via a web browser (you can use the above link). Click on your name in the upper right, and select "My Profile". Verify that your device shows up. Sometimes just logging in to your Samsung Account via a web browser seems to trigger it, so it doesn't hurt to try even if you know you already registered your device.
Have you added the Samsung Account to the Note 2014 yet? If not, launch Samsung Apps and sign in with your Samsung Account when prompted. You might need to press the menu button and then select "Sign In" if it doesn't automatically ask you.
If you have, remove the Samsung Account, launch Samsung Apps and sign in again.
If you've done all that, you SHOULD get the "<NAME>, your gift for registering..." email at the Gmail account you specified when you registered.
When I initialized my Note 4 I created a new Dropbox account to get AT&T's 50GB for six months. My old account was associated with now expired Samsung promos and was down to 6GB. So here's what I (think) I did that got me not only the original 50GB/6 month promo but another 50GB/2 years added on top. This could be a pure fluke but maybe it'll help somebody here.
To claim the Samsung 50GB promo create a new account. Dropbox doesn't add or extend if you're on an existing promo so you should do that regardless. You'll get 50GB for six months after doing all the stupid "add a file, refer a friend, let us exploit you in any way possible" stuff Dropbox makes you do.
Change the e-mail address on your original (non-Note 4 related) account to one not in Dropbox's records. It's in "settings" on the Dropbox web page. It has to be real and accessible because Dropbox sends a verification e-mail to it.
Via the Dropbox website, change your Note 4 created account's e-mail address to your original (pre-Note 4) one (the one you just made available in step 2).
Sign out of the Dropbox app on your Note 4 and sign back in again with the re-named e-mail address.
I did that and got this. Remember, pre-Note 4 I had 6GB available.
Why do I have a feeling that simply login to your existing dropbox account would automatically award 50gb promo, just like it did 2 years ago with Note 2.
2 years ago I used my N2 to give 50gb dropbox to all my friends, all I had to do was wipe the dropbox app (or maybe reinstall it, don't recall, no couldn't reinstall it, because it was "system" app) and let them login to their accounts.

You missed the point of my post. I got two 50GB promos, the six months I'm entitled to plus twenty four months no one on ATT's entitled to.
And what the policy was two years ago was doesn't matter.

PC. I wasn't trying to scam the system, I just wanted to use the e-mail address on my pre-Note 4 Dropbox account. Changing the e-mail back to that one is what triggered the second 24 month promo. On my Note 4, I signed the account I created on the phone out of the Dropbox app. When I re-signed in with the one I switched the bonus e-mail (above) appeared in seconds. I'm more excited about the 2 year duration than the extra 50GB.
Awe mine doesn't work actually my +48 GB is just about to run out, too, from the original Note 2 deal but my Note 10.1 and Note 4 didn't add any time to the offer.
Try it out on the ones in store to see if you can add it. Then delete the account.

On a virgin Note 4 you can create a new account with an e-mail not associated with an account currently on any type of Samsung/Dropbox promo. Even if you have 1 day of an existing promo left, using an existing e-mail to initialize Dropbox on a phone will prevent additional promo storage from being added. I didn't want to take a chance with my previous account(s) which had expired Samsung/Dropbox promos on them which is why I initially (from my phone) created a brand new account.
If you create a brand new account with a floor model you can try changing e-mail addresses (via a PC) like I described above. That, not how I originally initialized the account, is what triggered the additional 50GB/24 months to be added to my account.
It's all rather bizarre. Especially the 24 month component which shouldn't have been applied because anything I did from my phone should have identified it to Dropbox as an AT&T Note 4 by its device ID. And seriously, why out of the four major carriers is AT&T the only one not offering 24 months? I guess it's for the same reason we don't get a headset in the box.
I couldn't seem to get this to work. I'm wondering if maybe the delay of 3 days had something to do with it. I'll wait a day or two and try again.

I didn't have any luck either. I did get the 2 year 50gb deal, but no dice on the 6 month part.
That's interesting - I got the opposite - I got the 6 month 50GB, but not the 2 year. Wierd.
Maybe it's because I have the T-Mobile variant.
So if I do what you say and add 50GB worth of stuff to my Dropbox account, what happens after the 6 months is over? Do they erase that stuff or will I still have access to it, but just can't upload anything else unless I start deleting stuff? I need to know because I don't want to lose anything after it expires.
They don't erase your stuff you won't be able to add anything more.

I heard about this unlimited OneDrive from different sources, yet I don't see anything about it on any official MS sites. I'm tempted to subscribe to the office personal edition so I can transfer all my Google Dive crap over.
The little bit I did bring over (to the free OneDrive) doesn't play nice with file names that include any hyphens "-". Anyone experiencing the same issues?
