Did you get the 50GB Dropbox with your S3?

Let me start off by saying that in no way I am trying to "manipulate" the system but I have encountered the following problem.

I signed up for Dropbox with my Gmail and after a few hours I have received an automated reply from Dropbox thanking me for supercharging my Samsung device with Dropbox and steps to claim my 48GB + 2 GB free = 50GB bonus.

I have another email (Hotmail) I use mainly for work and online shopping and have used it to sign up for Dropbox from my S3 this morning. I did not receive an email yet from Dropbox to claim my 48GB bonus which brings me to my next question - is the offer valid ONLY for a one-time only sign-up or what? Some concrete proof would be nice in order to verify this. Thanks.
 
Yes it's a one time offer or you would create lots of accounts and get lots of space!!! lol
 
I done something really stupid, when i put my email address in, i missed one letter out,and spelled my email address wrong, so i did'nt get the email, any sugestions what i should do would be apreciated.

Create the email you misspelled and go claim that? worth a try

That is another part of the problem,and have already tried it, BUT, my email address ended with @googlemail.com, but now google will only let you create a new email address ending with @gmail.com, so i can't do it.

I was under the impression that all emails send to the @googlemail versions get redirected to the @gmail address.

So how do you get the free 50 gb?

Buy the phone and then create or link your Dropbox account to it and it magically appears... I bought a HTC One X and go 20GB and then thought the phone was actually rubbish so exchanged it for the S3 and got another 50Gb so currently have just over 75Gb in my account for the next 2 years!!

Picture proof....

just signed up and got the text message, should I wait until I get my gs3 to install on my phone so I get the free 50 gb?
 
Yeah gotta do it from the phone... you can get account before but you wont get the 50.gb til you log in with the phone

I'm confused - I thought the 50GB was if you buy a SGS3.....including on AT&T.

No?

Nope, AT&T and Verizon opted out of providing the extra free space for 2 years to its customers.

Only Sprint and Tmobile automatically give you the free space.

Well, that sucks. I've been wondering why my Dropbox hasn't reset to 50GB.
 
I only show 2.5 gigs on my Dropbox account and I signed up from my phone I purchased through Sprint.

Did I miss a step to get my remaining 47.5 gigs?
 
I used my existing DropBox setup when I setup the phone so of course had just the standard free allocation. Then, next time I signed into DropBox via their web page, I was told I could get the extra GBs by "taking the tour". So, I took the tour and got the extra GBs.
 
I emailed Dropbox and they sent me the link to finish the additional steps to complete and then I'll be at 50 gigs. Thanks for the help everyone!
 
I was able to get that extra storage but it says that it will expire in 2 years -

We've awarded you 48 GB of bonus space for the next 24 months!

Samsung + Dropbox Samsung promotion (expires 7/25/2014) 48 GB

Wonder what happens to my data once those 24 months are up

Not sure what will happen to data then, but by then, the way online storage is going, 50 GB will probably be standard free.
