About 30 minutes ago i received an email saying that I received 50GB of Dropbox for owning my "Samsung device". Since the only Samsung device I own is my AT&T galaxy note 2, its a pretty good indication that AT&T is not as greedy as I once thought it was. Want a nice little Sunday surprise. Anyone else get their free space?
EDIT: If you want your 50GB of free space, that you deserve, flash to a 4.1.2 ROM, I recommend CleanROM
I'm still at the same 222.25GB I have been for a while now.

Tel What sorcery is this? Are you paying for this space, or do you just have a lot of friends?

Haha, I've managed to own three "two year free" devices, two 50's and a 25, and used to pay for the 50 which was bumped to the 100.

Interesting, I just flashed CleanROM 3.0, so that explains how i got to 4.1.2. I wonder if everyone else will get the storage upgrade with the official OTA update. Only 2 years, its *only* $100 dollars worth of cloud services. I suppose that's not a lot to some people
I just got mine too! :good:

Got this weeks ago
48GB
Just got my 48 GB on top of the free 2GB Flashed CleanROM 3.0.1 last night and signed up with Dropbox today.
Totally forgot about this. I actually have a 20GB free DB that I've never used. I could always use another 50...
What happens to everything we have stored when 2 years are up? We do back to our original limit and everything is deleted? How do they decide what 45gb of data goes?

They let you download it all, and not add anything until you free up the space.

Got my 48 GB last night
I just flashed the Jedi-X3.3 ROM on my phone and got the dropbox guru email last night giving me 53 GB total. I was disappointed when I read on dropbox's website that AT&T customers would not qualify for the free space promotion, but flashing the ROM seemed to get around that.
Flashed miscom's N7105 rom on and upgraded!
is this somehow tied to your phone? can i unlink and link to another dropbox and get another 50 GB?

has any one been able to get free 50gb from dropbox with att gs3? if so can you please post how or what you did? thank you

Use a T-Mobile ROM be sure to use one that is confirmed to work with an at&t phone.

im on rogers when i got my s3 i just opened drop box and selected i already have an account , sighned in and within 25 min my space was upsated.
There are a couple techniques listed here: http://www.cincygeek.com/2012/07/how-to-get-50-gb-dropbox-on-your-new-samsung-galaxy-s3/
You might lose your IMEI though, so flash at your own risk...

Same thing here, it was part of the process when first running the phone. However, you did have to do 5 different things to unlock the full 50gb, but it doesn't take much time.
As long as you're rooted, the instrcutions I sent you via PM will work.
YOU DO NOT NEED TO FLASH ANY ROMS to get it.
that's all I will say about it but please don't risk softbricking your phone to get this. it's way simpler than that but you'll have to search for the method yourself.
I got it on my Captivate
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda premium
Is the 50GB lifetime or just for a year (limited). If it is lifetime i can see it being with the trouble to get.
Thanks
It's only for two years. That goes for any galaxy s3 on any network. AT&T didn't make the agreement with dropbox so no temporary 50 gb for us
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Like a few folks above me have said, it's very easy to get the free storage space. All you need is root access, no special rom required. Fwiw, I did it on a Rogers rom.

It expires 7/15/2014, by which time 50GB or greater will be the basic free standard anyway.
Also, some people have reported that Dropbox took back the 50GB and reverted their account to the original 2GB (minus other referral bonuses, etc) after they got caught, so only cheat the system if you really need the extra space and have other backups.
(DropBox also caught on to the HTX OneX cheaters, and fixed that)
I accidentally "cheated" the system. I flashed a t-mobile rom when I got my SGS3 when it came out because thats all their was, and it was compatible. Turns out it had the dropbox.apk. I logged in and noticed it gave me 50GB free.
I still have it.
I've still got my space too.

then what, everything goes poof or you have to pay?
i've used Box in the past on my tablet. they give you several gigs of storage, but then they only allow you to upload a max file of like 90-100mb.. is there a limit with dropbox?

No limit to it as far as I know. Ive done files as big as 2gb at a time.
And for anyone on att/verizon who's lookin to get it Ive included an attachment. not my work but dont remember where i found it. will work on any phone. Unlink any accounts from dropbox prior to flashing. Worked back when I used it, Imagine it still does
Well I work for sprint and to get the 48gb you have to go to the website and do free space. you have to complete 5 out of 7 to get the 48gb then its only good for two year after the two years you still have the 50gb but can only upload and download up to 2gb . The 48gb will be there but can't do nothing with it . Its just free space .almost like dead weight . So as long as its not over 2gb you could download anything from that 48gb .. hope you understand .. for more info go to the website under q&a .. there's more answers .. have fun with the 50gb .

So I decided to give this a shot and surprisingly it works. I signed up for a personal 5GB account on Box.com and used an app to upgrade storage to 50GB. I checked my Box.com account afterwards and it was now showing 50GB.
This is not for Dropbox.

Is Dropbox offering 50gb free with this device or no?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2
Yes, I think I got 48 gb after signing into it
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2
Same, took a few min after signing in, but it eventually kicks off an email letting you know about the added size.
I didn't get it because I got the same deal when I bought the S3. I bought a nexus 7 and was suppose to get it then, too, but didn't. I emailed Dropbox and they said my account is already associated with getting the 50gb once already, so no more for me.
Yes I got free 48gb on dropbox too. But I have no idea if it will stack if that's what you're asking.
