[Q] how to claim free 50gb Dropbox storage? - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know? Iva already made my Samsung account. I saw email from dropbox saying complete 5 steps to claim 48gb. I did 5 out of 7 steps. It only gave me the usual free space. My account not showing a 48-50gb increase in storage capacity. I even did all those other miscellaneous ones like link to Facebook,twitter, follow twitter, comment on why you like dropbox. Those only gave me the normal additional space.
How do we claim the promised 50gb of storage? Or how do you activate/enable it? Has anyone successfully done so yet with their Galaxy Note 10.1?

I did the same steps as you, only did about 5 of the steps, go back to the original email and open it, do your steps that were carried out show completed in green? If that is the case you should receive the free space, at least that's what happened to me. I have the full 50GB for 2 years.

Yes, I have 5 steps that are green. meaning completed. did yours 50gb take effext immediately? I checked dropbox app earlier. In settings it didn't show the new added amount. It shows percentage used out of total. ill check again later and see.
Thanks

Yes, as soon as I completed five of the steps, I got a message advising that my 50 GB has been activated/assigned. Not sure why you are having the issues.

After the 2 years im assuming you have to pay. I Dont like that.

Well I just wrote their support team to se what's going on. I might exchange my 16gb version for a 32gb one. So if I do, ill have a fresh start again with trying to claim the free storage space.

How long do you think an external company should provide you with 50gb of storage on their servers for?

Box has given me 50gb for life, what's the big deal? They did not cap it to just a few users, it was a promotion which if you installed it by a certain date, they gave you the 50gb.

I was unable to claim my free storage. I installed it but never got prompted for extra steps to claim. I wonder if this has anything to do with getting the free storage about 2 months ago from my Galaxy S3?

Weird, it worked ok for me - and I already have a Dropbox account that I've previously applied offers to. I just followed the setup prompts, entered my current account info, then got an email a few minutes later. I now have 122gb of completely free storage, lol

Does anyone know a way I can kind of reset the dropbox software and try to sign up again to see if I can get my free storage?

Also be sure to say "yes" when it asks you if you want to automatically upload photos. You can always turn that off after you set up the account and get your free space.

I never got the email with the steps, but found this help page and have starting completing the steps. It's for another device but steps apply.
https://www.dropbox.com/help/249/en

As I found out today after receiving my GN 10.1 that getting the 50GB Dropbox is not automatic. After you're presented with the offer on the GN 10.1 and creating an account you'll initially only get 2GB. You'll need to run the Dropbox app on the GN 10.1 then log into the web site which will then show you the five steps out of a total of seven that you're required to do to earn the additional 48GB (50GB total).
Make a note of this url as it lists the seven steps but only five are required:
https://www.dropbox.com/gs
And, the seven steps (I completed 1, 2, 3 which I believe are mandatory, 7 was a given and 6):
1. Take the Dropbox tour
2. Install Dropbox on your computer
3. Put files in your dropbox folder
4. Install Dropbox on other computers you use
5. Share a folder with friends or colleagues
6. Invite some friends to join Dropbox (just send to one of your other emails)
7. Install Dropbox on your mobile device (this is automatic)

I initially declined the free upgrade, but then later changed my mind and this did the trick. For me, Dropbox combined with Dropsync is easily the best cloud storage/syncing option on Android right now. And I figure 2 years from now I'll hopefully have more of a decent paying job, so the $10/month to keep my upgraded storage won't be so big of a deal. I've never been too high on cloud storage, but now that I'm using the camera on my Note 5.3 more and taking a lot more notes with this, I'm seeing its value.

I had an existing account and didn't get my space automatically. However, once I clicked the above link it immediately gave the the 48GBs.

Minus (App) Better than dropbox

This app in my humble opinion is better than dropbox, ADrive, and others that probe that I can not remember.
for starters, you sign the easiest way and without confirmation, the system is completely free and never have to do upgrade by cost.
Input give you 10 gigs of space in the cloud, you get 1 gig extra friend you invite, reaching maximum 50 gigabytes.
From what I like most is that you can upload a single file of 1 gigabyte.
It is easy to use and share those files can do public or private.
The public can comment and like. can be partners and friends, go to a user or anyone to follow.
For this and more they recommend.

In my case I had to activate proxy to download files to my speed. If you want me to check my Public folders can be searched as: kazutoaoi
free version doesn't support Android.
There seems to be loads of cloud storage popping up everywhere nowadays
Id much rather use a reputable one, Like dropbox, google drive, microsoft skydive (i think thats what its called ?)
I dont really fancy uploading precious photo's / documents to some homemade cloud storage server
also, android is google, everything i use is google, i like the whole idea of everything being together as one
google will rule the world one day !!

Too low download speed

I agree with what azzledazzle said.
I don't want to upload important data to newer / lesser known cloud storage.
I already have Google Drive (use it to store important data, weekly reports etc) and Box and Drop Box : use it to share data.

Some people actually do not use online storage for sensitive data. I'm uploading old videos right now, they take up a lot of space so this is pretty useful.

[APP] 20 gigs of free cloud storage and no upload size limits!

Update: They've just increased the base storage level to 15GB (or 20GB if you use my referral link)!
Copy.com is a new Dropbox competitor. It's backed by the Barracuda Networks people, so this one's going to be around a while.
You get 15GB free, and if you sign up using my referral, we both get 5GB of free additional storage.
It uses the Holo UI and there are no upload size limits! You can never have too much cloud storage, right?
<No referral ads on XDA please>
Thanks!

Same theme but when I went back to stock to grab the MDL OTA, I actually entered my dropbox info at firstrun. Was in the sprint store the first time. Dropbox gave me "an additional 48GB" of space for registering the s4. No idea if this is wide spread or if I need to go get some scratch off tickets, b7t worth a try if you haven't already.

It's for all S4 owners as far as I can tell. But be aware that this additional fee space is for 2 years only. After that you'll either need to pony up to keep the space or delete files until you are back down to your pre - gratis48GB level. Still, 50GB of Dropbox for two years at no cost? I took it and ran.

Thank you !! i search this!
Thanks for the tip. Looks good on the desktop side, like you said hard to have too much storage.
However on the phone app side I really DON'T like this part:
Your applications information
retrieve running apps
Allows the app to retrieve information about currently and recently running tasks. This may allow the app to discover information about which applications are used on the device.
Your social information
read your contacts
Allows the app to read data about your contacts stored on your device, including the frequency with which you've called, emailed, or communicated in other ways with specific individuals. This permission allows apps to save your contact data, and malicious apps may share contact data without your knowledge.
Just saying.
I stopped using copy as when you read the user agreement they indicate that they have the right to use your content as they wish.... Dropbox is still golden for me.

Could you point out where that is stated? The Copy.com terms look just like Dropbox's terms to me.

There's an "invite friends/contacts to share a folder" option within the app. It uses the contacts for that functionality.

Dropbox does not say they will access (and save!) your contacts, calls messages and how many times you contact each. And when I installed Dropbox on my system it did not ask for permission to do so.
Read the differences in the permissions tab: Copy VS Dropbox https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dropbox.android&hl=en
I see a huge difference one specifically says they can/will save your social contact and stats - that one is copy.
Again it's a choice to use the service or not I was just bring it up because it's so glaring and I don't/haven't installed apps that do that.

This, and any other, app that allows you to share information with your contacts will have that permission (and corresponding description) in its manifest (e.g. Twitter, Facebook, Gmail, Box, Pocket, AirDroid, SoundCloud, EverNote).
I don't see any cause for concern, but everyone's tin foil hat is sized differently. :highfive:

I guess he's implying that russian services cannot be trusted despite the fact it's the services of USA that spies on just about everything people do.
Thanks for the tip!
Sweet 100 GB...and for free. NSA can spy all they want in that cloud, same goes for the FSB. I'll just keep my "less" sensitive stuff on this cloud.
After I signd up the these 100 GB, I wanted to see if I could find something even bigger...well 10 TB from Weiyun did the trick. Althou it's a tad more tricky to get signed up, it is possible to do so (firsthand experience) A good deal of the registration and UI of the cloud storage is capable of english. The android software lacks I'm afraid.

Do you trust them? I have very close Russian friends, they don't even trust the most of Russian sites and IPOs and apps in play stores. Forget about all NSA craps for a second...it is sad but it is a fact that whenever you see anything like cloud.ru or mail.ru, don't you even give a second thought before you sign up.

I personally use these storage to upload firmwares; apps; music videos movies etc so i dont see what could be the issues of privacy there? Can you elaborate ? No one use these storage to store information about their bank details; adress or phone numbers etc
I am using it for few weeks and its quiet good for those who lack internal space for music; videos and nandroid backups etc

or on Phone when i go to My Apps
On Phone -
When i go to PlayStore/ My Apps - I see 2 Tabs 1) INSTALLED 2) ALL
in ALL it shows Lots of Old Apps
Do i need to individually remove Apps
for it to just show the recent Apps I have on My Phone
or how to Sync Only the Apps I have on my Phone ?
Please Help

If you want to only restore certain new apps, deleting old apps in your app list is one way, another is you manual stop google auto restore after you click i agree and next (via play store, my apps, stop) then in the "ALL" tab, you can touch hold and make selection of which app you want to restore then click install (like how you select multiple photos in gallery). hope that helps
I'll answer the 1st question:
After the 2yr 50gb Dropbox promo, your account goes back to the size it was before the promo.
For ie, I had 10gb before the promo, it went back down to 10GB after the promo expired.
If the Dropbox account was new before the promo, I believe new accounts start out with 5GB.
2nd Question:
When you first login to your GMail account on your new Android phone, Google play will auto update all your apps.
Just click "Stop all" and manually install the apps you need.
To stop apps to auto update itself, go to Google play settings and disable "Auto-update" but enable "Notifications about update to apps or games that I downloaded" so that you have the choice of updating your apps or not.

if you used up say 40gb during the promo, in your case, what happens to the excessive 30GB files after the promo?

I never went beyond my original 10GB limit, and so I don't know what happens to the extra data after the promo ends.
But I did get a fair enough amount of reminders from Dropbox that my 50GB promo was ending soon. Dropbox even gave me special discounted prices for their upgraded accounts

You have to turn on one of the animations (like diamond effect) when you choose an express me panel, then you see it when you tilt.

Go to the edge panel settings.
Choose Express Me.
There are a few default panels such as the diamond animation or the "My Galaxy Note Edge" panel.
Or, you can even customize your own.
The animation only works during the lockscreen

They stay and you have access to them but you do not have the ability to add any more without buying more space.
Galaxy Edge!

Did you see the Video ?
there he chooses a Pic & that pic is able to scroll
that is what I am looking for
or am I missing something ?
Easy
- On the bottom of the edge panel slide up to reveal the settings option which you want to select.
- Now select the Express me option and once there just select the edit button on the bottom of the current panel in use.
- From here just change the image to what you want.
- NOW to get the scroll feature select the effect option the select glass.
If you're looking for some nice images i definitely suggest downloading EVERYTHING EDGE from the Galaxy app store.

100gb onedrive still working

hello all,
well i ended up installing microsoft onedrive. It gave me 15gb like usual then i restarted my phone and i got an notification from onedrive saying that i am able to get t the 100gb added.
So i verified my account and now i have 115gb from them. so the 100gb is still working. Not sure if anyone talked about it, but i figure i would share
Notification popped up for me yesterday
Sent from my SM-G920V using XDA Free mobile app
I can verify that this is working, although I got 100 not 115
Ditto.
Same, also got mine. Guessing the influx of everyone syncing onedrive took a while for it to give the extra. Really awesome for all the pics I'll be backing up =D
Got mine too.
Worked for me

I got a 130GB of storage.
Install Onedrive through Galaxy App store, turn on the photo backup which will give you 30GB. Uninstall and install from the Play Store you will get the notice for the 100GB, when you sign in 130GB.
Yeah I got it as well.
This is good news for all this Vzw nonsense

Actually, I just tried it on my wife's phone and with no One Drive previously installed on her phone, it displayed the offer and confirming that she wanted to use it gave her 130 GB. She didn't need to turn on camera backup and then uninstall and reinstall. This was for an existing One Drive account, but shouldn't matter if it was existing or new.
So what happens after the two years is over and we all "need" all this "free" space and suddenly Micro-god says you need to cough up $$$$$ to keep it?

(personal side note.. but if you feel like bashing the company, why use the service anyway?)
Much like dropbox if you lose space, nothing gets deleted; you just cant add more until you clean up and free space.

"What happens to my data if I cancel my subscription or my bonus storage expires and I’ve exceeded my 15 GB free storage limit?
If you cancel your subscription or if your free storage bonus expires, your data will continue to be accessible. You'll be able to view, share, and download files on your OneDrive, but you won't be able to upload files until you buy more storage or free up space.

Call Blocker
