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..

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.

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.

I can upload an HD video shot with the One X directly onto my free Dropbox storage, correct? And if so, is there a size limit with individual files?

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.

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
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Correct, just two years, still not bad. The only issue I have is I purchased a Samsung tablet in 2012 and got the 50GB for 2 years then purhcased a new phone in 2013 which came with the 2 years and got SQUAT from DropBox, they should have extended it from 2014 to 2016 but nope. So now when I get a new phone again they likely still won't do it, but I bet they are getting paid by Samsung none the less.
