No, it's a corporate offer, between LG and Box.net, and the offer expires on March 31st 2012, not December, and not your 50gb space.
The link to their blog is here, with the info on the offer: http://blog.box.net/2011/11/30/50-gb-free-on-all-lg-devices-and-new-android-features/
It says you have to be in the US, but it doesn't check locale.

Did you use the latest version of box, from the market?, and log into box.net before rebooting your phone, then reboot the phone, and sign back into box?
The reboot after editing your build.prop will let box.net think you have an LG phone.
It does work, got it working on 2 xperia play's, and a ZTE Blade.

I got it! the problem I was just rebooting the phone from the power menu, so instead I completely shut off the phone and then turned back on and got the notification saying i got the 50GB when I signed in. Thanks a lot for all the help.

Great,
they beat the 25 GB of skydrive
with ES file manager integration, you can stream music and files whenever you want

Yeah what's the best way to stream music from the box.com app? What does the ES fIle manager allow for?
I'm trying to make the most out of this 50gb, and putting all my music on there and being able to stream it thru wifi or 3g would be doing just that...
thanks in advance

I've entered Box today and I got the 50 GB. It will come handy for certain purposes...

It's official
It's finally official: Android Community
I logged in a few minutes ago and got my 50 GB

Yeah I did too. However, there is 1 important detail you need to be aware of.
"What is the file upload limit?
Normally free Box Personal accounts have a 25MB upload limit, but we’re bumping it up to 100MB for this promotion in order to help you get the most out of your 50GB of storage. With a 100MB upload limit, you’ll be able to easily save pictures, presentations, audio files and documents to the cloud."
So as long as your files are 100 MB or smaller, you're OK. But forget about backing up a Nandroid to your Box account. (I just found that out, LOL)

Not a big issue: files can be split in pieces and downloaded through a good download manager. Megaupload used to reward loyalty points only for files under 100 MB, so people know the drill.

I uploaded music to my storage but I can't play the music from the box.net app. I can only play it from the website. Can anyone else play music via the app?

How about that, i was about to do this trick and logged into box first.
Guess what it said: You have succesfully upgraded to 50GB with your SONY ERICSSON device !! guess that sony ericsson deal went live !
Edit: yep its official http://blogs.sonyericsson.com/produ...ason-xperia™-is-giving-you-the-gift-of-cloud/

I'd like to know more about that, but I think it's a moot point because don't you HAVE to use Box's download manager?
Regardless, this is a great deal for backing up photos, music, documents, that sort of thing, which is what they probably expect the average person to be doing. I was just looking for a way to back up a Rooted Stock Nandroid of my phone so that if I ran into problems and my sd card got wiped, I'd still be able to get to it.
FYI - Amazon accounts get 5 GB free and their file size limit is 2 GB. Drop Box file size limit is 300 MB. So if you do need cloud storage with bigger file size, those are some other good options.

Just did this now on my SGSS4G. Thanks!

UPDATE! FREE 50gig for all users- NO BUILD.prop edits.
Hey, they have a new promotion going on. You log into Box from ANY android device (tablet or phone) and your account (preexisting or new) is upgraded to 50gig.
For my buddies that have iPhone i just let them log in from my phone and bam!
"Congratulations, Your account has be upgraded to 50Gig"
The offer ends March 23.
And I guess after that we can go back to build.prop edits.

Yep, live on any xperia handset now. Says ended december 31 2012 though. So thats this year .-.?
Gonna try..
Yep, upgraded to 50gb storage

Box.com 50gb
It seems that they updated this offer until march 23rd 2012! I did it a few days ago and the 50gb for life is simply crazy!

worked great thanks for the tip. Its appreciated!

Enjoy!
thanks. im goina try this out
sweet, but since when did we have to pay to listen online?
Yeah.. I'm not paying extra on top of my subscription. I used to have free online XM radio. Now they have a special music right's group tax, online listening fee, and I'm hearing more and more commercials. Sorry XM.. no.
to clarify, if you already have the $2.99 internet premium access, you can use this app without being charged or having to sign up
free 7 day trial when you first use the app
and sirius is offering a free preview for 30 days on 50 of its channels for listening in the car
Damn, you beat me to it.. I was just gonna post this.
XM202 baby!
ok can some answer this if i do online 2.99$ listen to laptop then leave house boot up incredible or ipod touch do i have to pay 2.99$ for each on of these?

No, the internet premium allows you to stream from where ever when ever you want.
I use SiriusXMStreamer on my PC to my 360 via TVersity thanks to the internet plan, CD quality audio
I had the iPhone app for my ipod touch before it died, now i have the Incredible and have the Sirius app on it.
no extra fees and i only pay $23 a quarter
I get a-la-carte thanks to the Starmate 5 receiver - $6.99 a month
then $2.99 for premium internet.
I pretty much save by going the quarterly plan
hope this helps
Re: Sirius XM - NOW AVAILABLE!!!
Awesome so the wife can share my online account with her device nice. Just added to my account paid one year at about 34$ can't remember but good deal
-------------------------------------
Sent via the XDA App
keep in mind if you use the official app on two different android devices, you can't be logged in at the same time.
this only works if you log in to an unofficial program like SiriusXMstreamer on PC and on an official app. The official app has log in measures in place that keep track of when your signed in.
so just a heads up on that
Cool thanks for tip...

Sure thing, sorry i didn't post this late, i was in the middle of a PC format and i'm getting everything re-installed.
glad you got it working, thats great to hear, sometimes account updates or additional features depending on how the system gets refreshed takes a few hours to a few days to get it working.
now on a side note, when i first used the Sirius XM app on the incredible, i noticed a weird bug. If you listen for about an hour or so the feed seems to either cut off or restart with a low quality sound then the CD quality would kick in a few seconds after. after which within a few mins it would play "catch up" to the live feed again. Has anyone noticed this on theres?
i don't know if its the incredible switching from a cache to a live feed when switching connections or not, one other thing i've noticed is, when the lock screen is on, wifi is not being used, 3G is used as default when you unlock the screen, it uses wifi again but then sirius app says "lost connection, retry" then it re-connects.
hopefully this bug will get fixed unless its just me
I have been having the same issues on my 7 day trial.

Sony Ericsson Xperia users get 50GB of free cloud storage from Box.net

http://blog.gsmarena.com/sony-erics...ree-cloud-storage-from-box-net-(UPDATE-Live)/
The company has teamed up with cloud storage provider Box.net and as a result offers not 5GB, but 50GB of free cloud space for every Xperia phone owner.
The steps you need to take in order to get your free storage are pretty much the same as those for Dropbox’s deal. You need to install Box.net’s Android application and sign up for an account, if you don’t have one yet.
**the deal is active until December 31, 2012
It didnt workout for me just yet, well wot about you fellas?
EDIT - Now its alive I just downloaded the app registered and got 50GB Free
Didn't work for me yesterday or today so just used my lads iPad and it triggered straight away. Perhaps it doesn't kick in until after the 2nd when that offer finishes.
Got an email a few minutes later offering another 50Gb to anyone else on the same domain so grabbed a load more accounts for my 'colleagues'.
Will it stack with accounts that were created for the same offer when they did it for iOS?
Just signed up and only got 5GB... Booo

To get the Apple offer, literally all I did was download the app and stick the login details in then a little window popped up to say I'd got the extra 50Gb, no other registration involved.
Perhaps there's a problem with Box recognising the device as an xperia?
Believe it or not here is Box's reply to my support request by email: Ryan, Nov-30 08:13 am (PST):
Hi,
Thank you for contacting Box support. Yesterday, Sony Ericsson mistakenly posted a promo offering free 50GB Box accounts to owners of Xperia devices. This offer is not active. We are committed to delivering the best Box mobile experience to all our Android customers, and will hopefully offer this promotion with Sony Ericsson in the near future. We'll be sure to communicate the promotion via the Box Community, our blog and on Twitter @boxdotnet, if and when it goes live. In the meantime, you can continue to use the Box application on your device and utilize your free 5GB of storage. Sony Ericsson has more details about the error on its blog here: http://blogs.sonyericsson.com/produ...ication-regrading-box-for-android-mobile-app/

You can get 50gb of storage if you use root explorer, for example, to edit your build.prop, making the two lines in it that look like this:
ro.product.model=R800i
ro.product.manufacturer=Sony Ericsson
* - Other models will have different names possibly, mine was R800i.
And edit them to read like this:
ro.product.model=VS910 4G
ro.product.manufacturer=LGE
open up the box app, create a new account, and reboot the phone, and sign back in, and you should get your 50gb, then just put back your original build.prop again.
Edit: Also works with existing accounts, I edited my build.prop, signed into the app, exited it, rebooted my phone, signed back in and got an upgraded to 50gb message, then just put my original build.prop file back.
Your 50gb will also work from then on, on pc too.

Good find.
Of course the obvious problem I have with this is that if they ever get smart and choose a different way to identify the device manufacturer, they have no reason to save your data. In fact, they'd probably instantly wipe it out of spite.
So it becomes cloud storage that is free, but insecure and unreliable... and isn't that kind of the point of clout storage?

Still using drop box and minus if you want in i could sure use the extra storage space for recommending anyone. And if I get it for recommending you it also gives you extra space for accepting it.

Yes, this is totally worth your time.
Think of Dropbox like your online storage, and box.net more like near off-line. I use Dropbox for keeping files that I refer to, or occasionally edit synchronized between three machines, and it works great for that but since I'm limited in drive space I keep it fairly clean. With box.net, I'll be using that more for archiving things like legal documents, static documents, etc...

[GUIDE] Get 5GB storage with box.net and any device

I've seen this guide in various places but i thought it would be most useful in here. I have searched to see if anyone has posted this here but found nothing.
MOD EDIT: Any app/guide that leads to defrauding a Company of money by spoofing their services is considered Warez.
Mounting Box.net on your Desktop
Linux Users​For those on linux theres a way to mount the box drive as webdavfs.
Original Link: http://www.thetechrepo.com/id=537 (Credit to alienmind for finding - say Thanks)
You can easily mount a WebDAV filesystem on Linux so that you can access the files just like they were on your local computer. One way to do is to install the davfs2 package (this is the Ubuntu/Debian package name, though it should be similar for other distros). Once you have installed it, add an entry to /etc/davfs2/secrets with your login credentials for the WebDAV account.
For box.net, the command would look like this:
Code:
[COLOR="Purple"]sudo echo[/COLOR] “https://www.box.net/dav username password” >> /etc/davfs2/secrets
You need to choose a mountpoint on your local filesystem for the WebDAV mount. In this example I am going to use /mnt/box.net, so go ahead and create the directory:
Code:
[COLOR="Purple"]mkdir[/COLOR] /media/box.net
Now add an entry to /etc/fstab for this filesystem, which will allow you to automatically mount it at boot time. If you want your normal user (instead of just root) to have write access, specify your uid (username) and gid (can be the same as your username) on the mount line along with your newly-created mountpoint:
Code:
https://www.box.net/dav /mnt/box.net davfs defaults,uid=username,gid=username 0 0
Save your changes to /etc/fstab and now try mounting your remote filesystem. It should mount successfully and now be accessible at your mountpoint. Note: if you have trouble writing files to the WebDAV filesystem, take a look at this article for a solution.
MAC & Window Users​
To have box.net, Dropbox, Googl Docs, Sugar Sync, and others in one folder use otixo.com. Just sign up and add your accounts then click on the link at the bottom of the page that says 'otixo on your Desktop'. It will guide you on how to mount your cloud services as a network drive.

Visit otixo.com and sign up for free. I tried it and it works perfectly.

P.S
When I used root explorer it didn't work all the time, I used prop editor and I cleared the box.net app data before trying again and that seemed to do the trick
As an aside, if you already have a 50gb box.net from either the HP Touchpad or Apple product special offers you can't get it. They don't stack on accounts, so you'll need to create multiple accounts to get all the free 50gb offers. They also do not work if you pay for a box.net account.
worked a charm, thank'd!
wish I could get this on dropbox.
Worked perfectly! nice one man!
Thanks so much buddy.

Assuming you are doing this with root explorer, one you edit the prop file, you need to mount back read only (r/o) and then restart.
Once you have the account, switch back to original prop.

What are you using to edit your build.prop?

Aye, works! I had a little problem editing the build.prop file, I just added the ro.model. blablabla lines, and forgot to erase the original model.zte lines.
Great job, my friend! I'll spread the word!
EDIT! Dammit, guess what? I have now two box accounts with 50GB! When I was strugling with the prop file, I made another box account(I thought that was the problem), and now that I made the prop file "work", my both accounts were activated with the extra LG space! Excellent!
I can make as many accounts as you want, they dont even check to see it the emails are valid lol
working great, thank you dude,, 50Gb free

You can increase your own account by inviting other people to get a Dropbox account ... if you need one feel free to use my invitation
can you make me an account?
I logged into my dropbox account for the first time on my samsung galaxy tab 10.1 from t-mobile and they gave me 48Gb free. My account now shows 51.88GB available. Was quite shocked!

[GUIDE] How to get 23gb on Dropbox?

Hello all.
I saw a few people who couldn't get extra space on Dropbox. It's short guide how to do it.
First of all you need rom with Sense 4 (we've got a few. It's your choice) and of course Dropbox account (but you can create new so don't worry).
1. Get mobile network package if in your rom WiFi doesn't work
2. Do full wipe
3. Flash rom
It's obvious.
4. Configure rom. When you see Dropbox login please log in or create new account.
5. Continue configuration and use your rom.
That's all. You should get an e-mail from Dropbox crew: "You got 23gb bla bla bla".
After that check your Dropbox. I done it on my PC. Just opened Dropbox folder and after few minutes it showed information about my extra space.
If something doesn't work please do full wipe, flash rom and try once again.
You'll get extra 23gb space valid for 24 months permanently.
If it works plz click thanks button
Plz don't write about illegal Dropbox app on this thread!

Doesnt really work for me, i must do 5 Thinks for Dropbox to become a special Suprise...
If it's valid for 24 months, it's not exactly permanent,is it?
I meant after you delete rom with Sense 4 Dropbox won't cut down your space.

Works on me but I did it before this tutorial
nope.. not happening
Tried a few times & these 5 steps are a bust.
Most I get offered is 250MB after each wipe/flash & am up to 2.75GB now
Cannot be bothered performing this method 89 more times so I'll stick with 50GB on box, thanks anyways.
Idk what's wrong, it works fine for me and others. I like Dropbox and idk why but I think it's safer for me. Dropbox was first too.

Box would be great if it didn't have the 100mb file limit. Dropbox also syncs both ways much better. I use Box as well and it won't delete files if you've deleted them on your laptop (so it keeps everything). On the other hand, Dropbox syncs and updates files much better.
Sounds too good to be true imho, especially when you only seem to get 250mb per flash.
I got a confrimatiom message to click a link to get it, but it keeps directing me to the home page. What shall I do?

and...whats happen after 24 month passed?our space cutted to original space 2GB ?
Unless you pay whatever the rate is for that amount of space, I would expect it to drop to whatever level you have 'earned' by other methods. As you get extra 250MB from referrals, etc, then across 2 years you could add quite a lot of 'free' space that is yours to keep.

Did you find any solution? I'm stuck at this too, got this mail:
"Thanks for supercharging your HTC device with Dropbox! To get the most out of your Dropbox, visit our Getting Started guide and gain an extra 23 GB of space!"
The five steps gave me 250 mb but thats not what i wanted
Edit: I've tried to wipe and changed to another sense4-rom, but since i got the mail above that doesnt seem to be the problem.
I have stick at this mail too it won't and won't give me the 23 gb space whatever what i do

Yes, me too very strange. When I got there, I saw I hadn't taken the "tour", the only one of the 7 or so steps that yo uneed to complete to become a guru and get an additional 3gb space.
So I did that, but still the 23gb did not appear. I have racked up 20gb of space via referrals, camera uploads and others, but the 23gb is not appearing.
(I've gone back to my previous sense 3.5 ROM, since ICS was just a bit too experimental for me )
High Time
Guys its seriously high time. We have been doing sooooo many things on earth to get those extra GBs on our cloud solution. Time to know some alternatives in the market and choose the ones that meet our needs. One such suggestion from me would be Syncblaze. Give it a try, its cool, amazing, cheaper than others, offers plenty of features. I am sure you will love it.
Or in alternative u have in Google Play others like Box that offers u for free 50Gb for a lifetime.

Cool, amazing.... but what's the cost?? Just had a quick look, there is no mention that I could find of it's pricing.
Looks like an enterprise solution, at least - Dropbox has the advantage of free storage for less demanding users, as do most other cloud solutions.
Box is pretty good too, though it's a pure web solution, I do prefer Dropbox, mainly since some apps iI use integrate their on-line backup to it (yes, I could set that link up manually...)
Worked for me, but I'm on HTC Evo 3D right now.
I received the 23 gb mail, but I got only 250mb extra...
