Help Dropbox free space

[Mutant04]

Hi All,

Just gone through the set up wizard on my new S3, however I bypassed the Dropbox screen.
Does these mean that I now can't get the free space for Dropbox???

If I still can get it how do I do it, anyone know???

i just signed into the dropbox app afterwards and a few minutes later I got an email about my space.

What's this? Dropbox free space? I downloaded the dropbox app on my S3 and signed in, but no notification of free space.

 

[SUroot]

yeah you get 48GB extra space with the S3. It should have drop box installed by default.

U.S. AT&T and Verizon opted-out of the Dropbox promotion to give you 48GB of free space for up to two years. - Tech Reviews and Help

Interesting to know.

What if I alreadyh ave a Dropbox account which has 14.8 GB of Free space (due to referring many people), when I sign in with my current dropbox account, will I get the extra free space offered by Samsung or not?

 

[Rxpert83]

Yes, you should

Yea it is on top of that. I'm salty cause I'm up to 28gigs from all the referrals and promotions. This would have took me up to 70(ish)... damn vzw

 

[Matrix Leader]

Yes, you should

Wow! That's very generous!

So just sign in with my current gmail account which is also my Dropbox account and my free space will magically have the space added to it??

Sounds too good to be true but Im loving this idea

No. I have already had a Dropbox account. When I logged on to it from my GS3, it shows I have only 2GB of storage. Are you sure it is not just for new users?

When I signed in they added roughly the difference between my previous storage allowance and 50GB. I was on 3GB and they added something like 48GB. I don't think they will add 50GB; more likely they'll add 35GB to bring you up to 50GB.

But that's only my guess. Let us know.

I hope someone can confirm this because if I wont get the free space if I use my current account, then I would rather close this account and reopen it again...

I hope there is some kind of definite answer on this

I think that they top it up to 50GB so that when the two years are up and you don't want to pay for continued use, they will remove what they added, returning you to your previous storage allowance.

I think if you close your present account an open a new one, just to gain 50GB, you will lose your present 15GB after 2 years.

They definitely added onto my 3GB but they didn't replace it they told me they added 48GB.

It's not just for new users. I already had a Dropbox account and when I logged into it from my GS3, I got upgraded to 50GB.

It didn't happen immediately, though. I seem to remember receiving an email after a couple of hours, and I had to go through some rigmarole of completing 5 out of 7 tasks.

I had roughly 28GB on my account before I got my GSIII, when I signed in with Dropbox it took me up to 78GB, so yes it does give you it all.

I just signed downloaded and installed dropbox a couple days ago. When I created an account and activated auto-sync of my pics, they credited my account with an extra 500MB of space. So my account started with 2.5GB of space.

 

[SUroot]

Just to confirm, I have 56GB. My existing space was added to by 48GB

Stop rubbing it in lol

Man I hate Verizon sometimes... :-(

 

[tman1986]

I just got my S3 on Sprint and I only got an extra 2GB. So I am up to only 4GB. Not fair...

This extra free space sounds nice in theory but after 2 years you face the frustration of loosing the convenience or paying for it...
