I heard how HOX were all supposed to get 25GB free space from Dropbox but I don't see the app preinstalled. If you download it from the google play store, i don't think you get it either....
Using TI backup, I noticed there is something installed on our phones that relates to Dropbox (see screenshot)...anyone know if this is something we can use?
I installed it from Google Play Store and logged in. Shortly after got an email from DropBox saying I got the extra storage.

I got the upgrade from dropbox after downloading and signing in to their app. I got an email almost instantly after signing in.

Yup just download Dropbox from the playstore and install. You will get free 2GB then an email with instruction on how to get your extra 23GB.
..Gromet
my experience is the same as the last 2 replies. integrated rather well into the photo gallery as well. I wish BOX was integrated as well with my free 50GB for life...
I just downloaded it and logged in. No email or anything.
Actually, it took 2 days for it to show up on my dropbox. I use it everyday for work so I can see how much storage I got
It just magically changed with no email lol.
Maybe it was because I got mine early? Who knows.
Thanks guys, signed up and then got the email a few mins later. I don't like doing the steps though lol.
Guys,
I know I've got the Rogers OneX and not the AT&T one, so maybe this doesn't apply.
I didn't need to manually install the DropBox app. I don't recall if it showed up when I first booted my phone, but when I was adding my accounts (GMail, Exchange, Facebook, etc,) I added my existing DropBox account. Then I got the 25GB free and the app was present.
Dunno if this helps in the slightest... just my experience on Rogers.
Att version did not have drop box pre installed
Same as above Download and log in . Get email and Walla . Extra storage

I downloaded the app, logged into my free 2 gig account and within minutes got an email that I was eligible for 23 more gigs.
Thanks guys! I was wondering about this!
Confirm att doesn't want us to have ....I mean att FORGOT to give us the app.
Sweet, one less reason to return now.

Confirm it is working here too by signing into it from Settings - Accounts and Sync. I now have 80 gb...

I didn't get for my already at 38gb account (yes, I do take lots of photos)
Finally!!!!!!
After 2 weeks and a nasty gram to DB, I get an email today. DB apologized gave me my 23 gigs and stated their system was bogged down, they Sorry
Maybe I spoke too soon cuz it seems to have worked now. I signed in again for the 4-5 time and got an email. I did have to go and do 5 of the 7 steps to get it though.
Have anyone tried after getting these 25gb login to a different account or register a new one? Do they give another 25gb to that account too?
I've tried that, but didn't receive any additional 25gb on different accounts..
I believe it's tracked by IMEI maybe? But then again, I've read a lot of people went into the store and logged into their dropbox on the demos and got the bonus lol...
My preordered One X had a bad screen so I had it replaced. So for my second one, I used my work dropbox and got the bonus 25gb too
Downloaded dropbox to my phone and logged in with my free account thats tied to my gmail account, and i got the free 23gb within seconds.

I take no credit for making this, it all goes to theos0o. I seen this in the Android Apps forum thought I would share. I tried this on my Skyrocket and confirmed extra 3 gigs for 12 months. Original post below with attachment:
Hello guys!
Hope I'm the first that has implemented this..
So, I've tricked dropbox.apk into thinking we've all got a Sense 3.5 device, so you'll get 3GBs of extra space for 12 months.
Tested & working on my SGS running TeamHacksung ICS 4.0.3 b16.
How-to
• Uninstall original dropbox app
• Install my APK
• Login & wait for the confirmation mail!
• After getting the extra space, you can go back to official dropbox builds (uninstall mine first).
Interesting idea but...
I signed up for Box and got a free, promotional 50G account. You can too, I believe, up until March 31st.
I don't want it for only a year :-(.... I've been using dropbox for 2 years already, need lifetime!

Thanks for the heads up, i'm up to 27.5gigs on my free account now! after uninstalling, reinstalling the apk and logging in; my desktop notified i had the additional space available in seconds. it stinks that this is only for 12 months...
Worked for me as well. Stool, I have to say 50gb for life just for signing up for Box is pretty nice.

Ok have always, backed up my photos, into Google Picasa, but now reached my 1gig, limit, which means I have to purchase extra, so now, trying to look at other free, reputable online storage sites you use, preferably with loads of free storage. I also use dropbox, but only for files, so please share, what online facility you use thanks.
Why not use dropbox to sync your photos?

You know what even I have the same Google Picasa account with 1GB free storage however, after I created Google Plus account when it was launched it shows that I have used only 3% of the storage but it was about 95% before creating G+.
You may give it a try however, I'm not very sure if this helps you too but it is working for me.

Forgot to mention that I have about 10 Locked albums!!
There is SkyDrive with 25GB free of charge, but there is no official Android app (yet) although the mobile web site is pretty decent.
However I don't think there is any way to automatically upload your photos from an Android device to SkyDrive.
If you sign up with Google+, you get virtually UNLIMITED uploads into Google+/Picasa, as long as your photos are under 2048x2048 and videos are under 15 minutes each. If the photos are bigger than 2048x2048, Picasa will resize them automatically. I have literally 80 gigs of photos and videos on my account so far and I still only have a free account. In fact when I checked the amount of space I have used, it only shows 102 MB used out of a total of 1024. The Instant Upload feature is also great since it auto uploads all my photos and videos and puts it in the cloud, available for viewing on my computer almost immediately. Once they're on Google+/Picasa, I can immediately delete it from my phone to clear up space. This is one of the best reasons to be on Google+ if you're not already on it is to get the almost Unlimited storage and Instant Upload feature.

drop box is pretty reliable
Thanks a lot everyone, I think the winner for me, should therefore be Google + because I prefer everything Google, so Google plus, I go.
Here is some more information on free storage on Google just in case you need it:

I am using Dropbox as my online storage drive. The speed is fast at least 1mb/s when upload or download. Strongly recommended.

Now that some lucky members are getting their AT&T One X's, it has come out that DropBox is not pre-installed. Could some lucky member verify that the DropBox app available in the Play Store will recognize that it is being ran through an HTC device, and so qualify for the free additional storage promo?
Thanks!

I've read from numerous sources online that you dropbox is not installed. However, if you get it from the market, it does recognize it as an HTC device and you will be granted the 25gb for 2 years.

But does the One X? For example, my iPhone can't email relatively short HD videos. I know emailing is different than uploading to Dropbox, but I just want to make sure I can shoot a somewhat long video with the One X and upload it to Dropbox with no problems.
You can also install SkyDrive from Google play and have 25GB more.

I know, it is web based. I use it
If you have an Android or another phone, you can still use SkyDrive. Just open your phone’s web browser and go to SkyDrive.com. You might need to sign in with your Windows Live ID. Find the file or photo you’d like to view, and tap it.

I started with my existing 2gig account too, but after you go thru a short orientation, you get 25 gigs. You have to do 5 of 7 steps to get the extra capacity. It does recognize that you have an HTC, but there you still have to do the 5 steps. Stuff like install Dropbox on a PC, upload a picture, etc.

You have to complete the 7 steps on the DB website to get the extra space. You should have gotten an email from DB telling you that.

I went through this, and it says congratulations you've just earn 23GB! And on the bottom you can now store up to 10.25GB (which is my original storage) on dropbox...
huh.
I guess, in short I still didn't get the 23GB...
Is there a customer service we can call/email or something?
Thanks.
I heard that if you used the cheat to get the extra storage from the hacked dropbox and it was taken away, you are blacklisted from earning extra space
Is there currently a way i can get more free storage. Cause 2gb just isnt cutting it and i dont have the money right now to pay monthly
If you invite friends you get a certain amount of extra storage for everyone that signs up. That's about it.

Just got my 25GB and Im on ATT. Curious because the phone doesnt come with dropbox baked in out the box. Only once I flashed CleanRom 4.1 did I get the free space. I guess its because cleanrom has it integrated.

It's not over, Installed the Dropbox app last week on my AT&T HOX and got 23gb of storage.
Install Dropbox on your comp and phone and get more gb. Set it up to auto upload camera pics and get 3 gb more, you can turn it off after set up. Sign up your parents emails on their comps also if you can. Link it to twitter and fb to get more also. Not hard at all.

I got the email today - got the 23GB with my HOX, but this is dumb... I'm actually still using the phone, with the stock ROM I might add, so this is quite annoying.
I've sent a short email to HTC, but with thebobmannh's link, it's clear I may need to pay for the service... At least I genuinely use it.
I got an email too.
