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 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!

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.

Dropbox storage space

I logged into dropbox to get my 50gb free. I got an email from Dropbox that I received 48gb bonus space. Not a huge deal, but a bit strange. What did everyone else get?

PRob cuz you get 2 gb free by default?

Try to upload all your photos and videos to dropbox, they will give you some extra gb for free

Having trouble finding where to get the 50GB on my account page. Anybody able to point me in the right direction.
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.

I never got an e-mail from dropbox for my additional 48 gigs.... Anyone else having this issue?

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

Did you guys get the 50 gig dropbox?

I am getting the Note 2 on Tuesday, I was wondering if Tmobile or Samsung offered the 50 gig dropbox space for 2 years with the purchase of Note 2.
Thanks

I didn't know we were going to get the 50GB of storage until yesterday. Yes I got mine.

log in to Dropbox on the phone. you'll get an email asking you to confirm you want the 50GB's a few minutes later. complete that process and you are good to go.
keep in mind, the offer doesn't stack. so if you did it once with the SGS3 you can't do it again.

Wonder what happens to all your data after a year and you lose the 50GB and go back to your old quota?

the 50G is for two years. I think dropbox sends you a warning before, they won't delete your data without notifying you.

what i've read the account goes read only. I don't think it will flat out delete all the data. I'm not aware how long it will let you stay in that limbo however.
(IE, using the 'read only' account to stream movies over and over again). i would imagine at some point it will start deleting after you've accessed it enough.)

From 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.

This is a great promotion for people. Id almost rather have the big dropbox account than an sd card slot. All my stuff lives on there, and unlike the iPhone it becomes a whole other usable drive with your PC. The options are near endless especially if you get dropsync going, automatically transferring your media and such. Best cloud service there is.

Only downside is if you don't have a signal or data, then you don't have access to your files. What I don't understand is everyone asking about the 32GB variant of this phone. Why not just buy a 16GB version and buy a 32GB or 64GB microSD card for under 50 bucks and call it a day. It's the beauty of having an SD slot on the phone, unlike the Iphone or the LG Nexus.
Or am I missing something? Which is quite possible.

Because people need more than 16GB + 64GB.
As for Dropbox's expiration date of two years, I'm sure most of us will upgrade to another phone by then that will probably offer 50 to 100GB of free dropbox space.

Im still waiting on mine from the s3 ... well i got it then they took it back . Anyway i received the email today opened it . Still waiting

MediaFire Android app lands in Google Play with 50GB of free storage

MediaFire happens to be one of the more well known cloud storage solutions available. And while they have a nice offer, 50GB of free cloud-based storage (and a 200MB file upload size), there has been one item that may have kept them from being fully adopted by Android users — the lack of an app. That being said though, the MediaFire Android app has recently come available.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mediafire.android

Probably would have taken me a while to realize the release without your post :highfive:
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium

Is there a legitamate reason to upgrade to the 1.50 per month plan? Is there a benefit? I'm only looking for to backup files and pics. And I'm confused as to what it means by limited for the timeframe that we can store our files on the free account. Anyone know what that means?

Like all the other free storage, its a year more than likely, then after that, you pay the fee or they cut you down to like 2g....most of them are this way. You can only get a couple gig for free with no limits

I have had the free mediafire account since 2009, I still have 50GB of available space and all the other benefits and limitations of the free plan.

I looked into this but truly I feel Adrive is a better deal. You get 50gb free with a 2gb file size upload limit or 1000 files at a time. I've had this service for 5 years almost and they have never decreased it, only increased the file limit. The only issue is the android app kind of sucks but it gets the job done. It's definitely something to look into.

[Q] Is the Dropbox promotion still going on?

I remember that Samsung gave 50GB extra Dropbox storage with the S4 and Note II. Has anyone installed Dropbox yet on their Note 3 and seen if this is again the case?

I got an extra 50 out of it

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!
Enjoy,

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.

You store stuff in the cloud? Like, where the NSA can get it?

NSA is paying for dropbox so their is no legal issues

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?
