50gb free

Don't forget to download box from the HP market. You get 50gb free and then you can use it on your android...

If I already have a 5GB box.net account, will they add 50 additional gigs when I download the app or am I stuck with only 5GB because I have an existing account?
My touchpad hasn't arrived yet so I can't test this out myself yet. Thanks.

Current Box subscribers with personal 5GB accounts will automatically get 50GB added to their accounts.

lol, you can actually make as many accounts as you want with the 50GB. note that the limitation of a free account still hold true, you just have 50GB vs 5GB.
wish they would make sync available on this, would be a dropbox killer

I was about to post this as well. I'm glad everyone is staying informed. Can't wait to receive both of my Touchpad orders.

Reportedly, that 50GB is for life.
The big question is, your life or the life of the tablet?

Great..now I feel even better about getting hosed by onsale...and it says life of the account.

Considering that the account they give you also works for non-touchpad devices, it will either be your life, or the life of the company.

Yep, just wished it would sync like dropbox without having to pay the premium. I use free dropbox like some do Carbonite. 50gb in that scenario would be awesome.

I tried it and I have to say it sucks. You cannot create folder structures and each upload is limited to 25 files. Dropbox is much better. The only thing this has going for it is how much space they give; but it is so limited in how you can use I find it to be almost useless for my needs. Thanks anyway. You did get an extra 1gb because I tried it with your link, but am uninstalling it now.

Yeah, I think it's geared at the "sharing" market instead of the "backup/storage" market. Think "sharing photos and videos with grandma".
I did, however, split my iPhoto library into ~175 rar chunks and am (slowly) uploading them all to a single directory on Minus. Now I have it backed up with Minus AND Amazon (40GB for about $3.75 per month).

yea it would have to do alot of **** to beat drop box with automatic sync and the market apk is damn good... im gonna try with your link just to hook ya up but i dont think ill be replacing dropbox anytime soon...

The free 50gb is a build prop hack,makes box.net think you have a different phone.. or something along those lines, I didn't see the how to guide till after I already had the upgrade and its great, especially if your just using for phone stuff, you'll never hit 50gb

they change their build prop to simply sign up with the email you provide,( where the general password comes in) and it upgrades to the 50gb, their is a bussiness account that you can share your 50gb with co workers, but all that is is sending an invite to em, same kinda promotion, no matter how its recieved its worth it tho,

Dropbox is about to remove illegitimate 23GB free space

Users who installed any Sense 4 ROM would also have a chance to get free 23GB extra space from HTC One promotions, but looks like this illegitimate method of getting free 23GB has been caught by the Dropbox itself.
So I think I should get my files on Dropbox as soon as possible before they deleted it because 23GB free space I've got is the illegitimate method by using ported Sense 4 ROM.
Official statement from Dropbox support:
The official Dropbox 23GB HTC promotion will not start until sometime early this month, when the devices are released. To earn the extra 23GB of extra Dropbox space you will need to link your HTC Sense 4.0 device to your Dropbox account and complete “Get Started.”
The method to earn 23GB that is being circulated on the XDA Developers forum and on other blogs and forums is illegitimate. We plan to remove any space received using this method.
Downloading apps from unknown sources is not a good idea, as they might have been modified to include malicious code. We strongly recommend that you only install the Android Dropbox app via Google Play (formerly known as the the Android Market) or from official download links on Dropbox.com.
I hope this helps.
best,
Sean

Thank you for posting that!

so should I remove ALL my files of my dropbox account?
maybe they will only remove the extra 32Gb and leave the previous space
what do you think?
thanks for the info!

They will remove the 23GB that was part of the promo but leave what you had before.
So you don't need to remove all your files.

NOOOOOOO!!!
what a bummer
they've cut me down...
shame they don't sell a middle package like extra 10GB for USD 2-3$ a month... I would've bought it...

my 53gb just became 30. well, i guess this was bound to happen specially if they haven't even released the devices .

if you'll find any other way to get it back please let me know...

Can't remember how I got there, I think by installing first ICS release, beta apk, + few other promotions but hey, check my storage I didn't get 23gb with sense 4 though. Will try it now.

Because box.net sucks badly. No Linux or Windows Clients, you must use WebDAV and it's slowly as hell. And the sync doesn't work. Also I like Dropbox camera upload feature.

There ARE programs for that on PC but not really for phones, there's not much demand plus the processors generally aren't very powerful making conversion painfully slow.
I'm just saying, if you convert a normal video down to 500kb you're going to have horrific quality and you won't be able to see ANYTHING.
