I tried to use PrimoS - Inferno Edition v2.0 on my Glacier in the hope of getting extra 23GB free space but was unable to get it. I took up the issue with Dropbox support and this was what I was told:
As stated running a Sense 4.0 ROM does not qualify you for the promotion. Only phones that receive automatic updates to Sense 4.0 from their phone carriers or from HTC are eligible.

So in case someone is having the same problem and wondering what is going wrong, well, there you go.
Did you already have an account or did you make one during the setup process?
Already had an account. We had a few emails back and forth. First he directed me to the FAQ link where they talk about who is eligible and he also confirmed that he can see that I am running a Sense 4 ROM. So I asked why I didn't get the space and got the answer above.

I see...I'm at a loss. Everyone else has this working perfectly. Sorry.

Oh well... Can't do much about it.
Anyway, I'm signing up with Vodafone to get SGS2 for free and they have promised to provide a Dropbox coupon for 2GB extra space. After I add that on top my existing 18, I guess I should have enough.

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.

I just flashed the Nocturnal stock 1.88 Asia-based software release, and set up my accounts like normal, including Dropbox. To my surprise, I got the confirmation email that I received my 23gb bonus space from the HTC Sense 4.0 promotion, even though I'm on AT&T! I verified that the extra storage does show up in my account. Just letting folks know, hopefully it doesn't get taken away

its doesnt matter which kind of phone you have,
i have had the Desire HD, flashed the One V's port to it, and got the 23gb bonus.
its ROM related.
Doesn't the space get taken away in 2 years?

Yes, but I was just posting this because AT&T chose to opt out of this dropbox promotion, so if you were were on the stock AT&T rom it was not possible to get this bonus storage. Looks like this method is more like a loophole to get around that limitation, for us AT&T customers at least.

When did they opt out? I got the storage when I first got the phone.

Didn't Dropbox say they will do something about the accounts that cheat the system? What are the chances they'll just delete your excess data?

AT&T and Verizon opted out of the HTC/Dropbox promotion around the end of May I think. So really it was the early adopters of the One X on AT&T that were able to take advantage of the extra free 23GB. I didnt get my phone until June so I never qualified.... Until I did this

This is also what I'm wondering about. If I flash back to a 1.85 based rom, like Cleanrom, I hope that doesn't raise any red flags on their end.

Yep and basically makes the offer pointless unless you plan on paying the monthly fee afterwards.
I received 50GB free from Box for life, that's how a promotion should work.
Same deal happened to me flashing a Rogers rom to my att SGSIII. No bonus on stock rom, 48gb free once I opened dropbox in the Rogers rom, I have since flashed back to an att rom and still have the storage..

Installed dropboxon my hox last week and for the email and 23gb storage added.
Now that AT&T isn't offering the bonus 23GB of Dropbox space [won't work for me], is there any reason to keep Dropbox over Google Drive?

Not really. Dropbox makes you jump through hoops to get more free storage, while Google gives you 5gb right off the bat.

And Google Drive offers 25GB storage for $2.49 a month. So in terms of ease of use and functionality... I'm assuming they're both about the same?
Disappointed in the false advertisement by AT&T & Dropbox.

Plus the 10GB in Gmail and 1GB in Picasa
Has anyone still been able to get this to work with different ROM's? Specifically with CleanROM 4.5 RC1? I figured this would work being based off of 2.23 which isn't AT&T am I correct? But tried flashing again and signing in upon initial setup, and still haven't been able to get the 23GB.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
When I setup my phone I got the 23 gb's extra. Had to jump through some hoops to get it.

It seems if you are running a ROM that is not AT&T based like the Stock Nocturnal 1.88 Asia ROM that the OP mentioned, Dropbox thinks you don't have an AT&T device and gives you the promotion.
Haven't been able to get it to work myself yet, though I might be doing something wrong, or missing something.Tried with the Stock Nocturnal 1.88 and so far nothing.
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.

There are about 6-8 methods to pick up some extra space. Sign into Dropbox and click "get free space" up in the corner.
If you have a HOX, you should be getting 25 gigs...

That promotion is over due to people using hacked dropbox apps. If you have a spare lg phone laying around install Box on it and you get 50gb for life. Did this on a coworkers lg Optimus. Installed app, logged in, 50gb free BAM.

It is ATT only, they opted out. Probably couldn't handle their end of the agreement with hacked bonuses and such.

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.

Just purchased this beast of a tablet and so far, I LOVE it. It compliments my SGS3 PERFECTLY. I read somewhere that we are supposed to get 50gb of dropbox storage out of the box, however, that's not the case for me. Is there some special code we have to put in somewhere???

You'd probably be more likely to get helpful responses if you had a more helpful thread title.
The dropbox offer popped up when I first powered on the device. I skipped it as I wasn't interested. Not sure how to get it back, but I assume there must be a way.
When I sighed into my already existing drop box account on my note with the app already imstalled it showed me a upgrade message. Now it shows I have 55gb storage with 3.4 used.

There are steps that much be completed within Dropbox after you register on you GNote. Once you complete all the steps they upgrade you for two years. A quick search would have revealed this info.
BTW Not a pertinent or effective title since this is already the GNote forum..

Go to Dropbox and finish your steps. There's 7 of them, I think.

If you have a brand new HTC phone with Dropbox already installed, you may be eligible to earn additional free space simply by signing in to your account (or creating a new account) from the Dropbox app and completing the steps on our Get Started guide from your desktop computer.
HTC Sense 3.5 and 3.6 phones may be eligible for 3 GB for one year.
HTC Sense 4.0, Sense 4+, and Sense 5.0 phones may be eligible for 23 GB for two years.

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.
