I already previously had a DB account. I installed sense 3.5, signed in, but didn't get my extra storage. What am I doing wrong?

600 MB additional free storage
Hi all
Just found a smart way to increase your Dropbox account with 600 MB:
1 Sign into your existing Dropbox account (or create a new account)
2 Goto https://www.dropbox.com/free
3 Follow instructions ... and voila 600 MB additional free storage

Thanks Mittaa

50 GB for a lifetime! Yay! It is a little too much for me though. I don't need so much of storage space!

Good for smaller files but they limit uploads. I am using Minus right now along with dropbox.

I had 50 from and iPhone give away but could not get it til I sign in other the other email and got it. I don't use iPhone I just wanted the free storage.

Is there anyway to download an entire folder or select multiple files to download from Box? I find it a hassle to have to download files one by one.

Good lookin!

There is a bulk upload option. You can't select folders themselves that I know of, you can only select a ton of individual files and upload them to a specific folder on the server. I uploaded 672 pictures last night to my 50GB account with only a few clicks. Too bad you can't have any files over 100MB with the free account :-(
See the screenshot I attached for bulk upload info.

Here is what to do:
If you already have Dropbox installed on your Android device, you must Clear data, Force close and finally uninstall it from Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Dropbox.
Download and install the Dropbox+23GB APK Be sure to enable Unknown sources under Settings > Applications or Settings > Security (on ICS) before installing the APK!
Launch the app as usual and log in.

Yes, that is correct, it is good for 2 years. and if you already have an account with DB it adds to it. So I had free 2gb, now I am at 25GB of free storage..... I also have 2 Box accounts at 50GB each and 10GB at 4shared, and a second DB account now at 25GB as well........ yeah I know dont say it.... thats.....a.... lot...

So after doing that can we uninstall it and reinstall the market version or will that get rid of the extra 23gb?

Do you really have to go through the whole invite friends/add files/share files/install DB on a computer to get the 23GB? Because i had an email telling me this and the app is only showing 2GB available currently.

OK.... its easy. If you have DB installed on your phonje. Go to you settings/manage apps/ and select DropBox. Then select clear cache and data, then uninstall. then install the DB apk I have in the first post, then sign in to your DB account with it, then in around 5-30 minutes you will get an email from DB saying Thank you for buying a HTC One X and letting you know that you now have 23+ additional GB in storage.... DONE.... thats it....

I confirm this is no longer working. DB seems to have caught on as my previous 25gb (up from gb due to this apk) is now back to 2gb.... same as my other DB account.
So with that in mind this thread can be closed

Dropbox set all accounts back to 2gb if they don't have android 4.0.3 with sense 4.0

Odd.... I have not recieved my new emails since I reinstalled the HTC modded DB apps. I mean I had it at 25gb before because I used the apks about 2 weeks ago or whenever I made this thread, but now its back at 2gb, and i tried the apks and no reply, no 23gb gain in my DB accounts......perhaps they have flagged me....oh well....

If it matters, I've had the market Dropbox before but uninstalled it last week, installed it again last night before trying this, didn't have no data to clear so I just uninstalled it again normally and then installed this HTC one and logged in. That was at about 1:30 last night/this morning. Plus I had Dropbox signed in on ES File Explorer the whole time.

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 .

exactly what I though and tried but it won't work.
if you'll find any other way to get it back please let me know...
BTW , if you guys don't know it there are some pretty simple ways to gain up to gain like 640MB... https://www.dropbox.com/free

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.
Can't upload IMG for some reason. 54gb it shows

I wonder how long it will last though. I'm sure some of it is temp. So I avoid uploading more than I initially had. And as I said, I can't remember how I got it either.

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.

Blackice

I must admit, i finally got my hands on a copy of blackice (the old gingerbread rom) and im loving every second of it. My 4g is finally speed happy. Only using 80mb of ram? Bah who could ever say no to that. I was on whatever the latest cm (i think 11, unless thats nighlies) is and i was happy, but always felt i could get more juice out of my phone. Idk why the creator ever abandoned it. If i knew who he was id give him a nice little donation just for the work thus far. If anyone knows point him this way

And I've browsed that thread before but the links are down. They work from xda's end but the devs links are no more. I scavenged the internet until I came across a torrent for it with only 2 seeds lol. Definitely worth the treasure hunt.
Do you know of they've made anything else for the inspire/desire? Or better yet, how I can get voice working on this one? Like voice control, and voice-to-text messaging? That's the only feature I miss.

Nevermind that last question :foot in mouth: playstore already answered it. Lol. Now to find a lightweight app for that. Thanks again
