dropbox free space? - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I thought the HTC one came with 25GB free dropbox free space, right? How do I get mine, I logged into the website like I did before with my one x but I don't see any promotion.

I just logged into my Dropbox on the phone after first boot and instantly received an email that the 25GB had been added to my account. Don't think you have to do anything special to receive it. 64GB Dev Edition here.

ATT user, flashed Renovate ROM. My first dropbox login on renovate granted me 23gb free space extra.

The 25GB space only last for 2 years
I was going to sign up for it but then what if I actually need the 25Gb of space? I don't wanna pay for that :3

I had 25Gb of Dropbox storage added to my account about 12 months ago when i bought my HTC One XL.
Just upgraded to my HTC One (M7) and tried to get an additional 25Gb, but it doesn't seem to be going though. I did the same steps that i did 12 months ago, but no luck.
Maybe it's only one lot of 25Gb per account

Hi
Greetings,
As per I know we only get 25 gb per account bad to know this as we must Atleast get more gb free when we buy a new phone

I wondered how to get mine as well - then I upload a photo from the phone to dropbox and my 25Gb was activated
Hope this works for you as well

Hmmm... I got the Dev Edition a couple of weeks back and have despite having signed in to Dropbox from my phone right away and used it to upload and download files, I don't see the 25GB. Does this 25GB apply to the Dev Edition phones as well?

Been in contact with HTC, and they actually told me that the free 25GB is only applied to new users, and only applied once.
So if you claimed the free allowance on your One X (just using as an example) You won't be able to get it again when upgrading to the HTC One.
Hope that makes sense?!

I received my Development Edition four days ago. After logging into Dropbox on phone, I received email to activate additional storage about an hour later - - so it would appear that the Dev Edition is eligible.

I was using a galaxy note 2 and i got 50 gigs of Dropbox space and when I got the htc one I got this phone when it came out for att on April 19th and after about a week I got a email from Dropbox saying I got another 23 gigs of space so in my Dropbox I have 73 gigs of space

I think if you sign into dropbox with your existing login, for example from a previous HTC phone then you'll have access to files from previous dropbox account, but won't get an extra 25GB.
If you want a fresh dropbox account then you would get a new allocation of 25GB, but wouldn't merge the two accounts into one 50GB account.
Hope this helps to explain how it works

BOX - Sign Up NOW & 50Gb Free Storage

Hi all,
I received a marketing email last night with a deal that was so good I had to share!
A company called "BOX" has released their app onto android:
http://www.box.com/
it is like dropbox, but if you download the android app and sign up through there you get 50Gb of free storage!!!
http://venturebeat.com/2012/02/23/box-android-50gb-free/
I just DL the app, and stuck my email addy in, and 5 seconds later "Welcome to BOX, Free 50Gb account upgrade"
I logged out and signed up as my wife, same thing happened....no confirmation emails were sent just instant access!!!
Are there any file size limitations for what you can upload or download? I know some of the cloud storage sites have some such as 250mb etc.

Looks like it, but only if you haven't already used a Sense promotion in the past. I used the Sense 4+ promotion a while back and I never got anything for Sense 5 when I signed into my account.
The eligibility says this too. Only one promo at a time. =/

I got that, but for some reason I still have 75GB on my account, LOL
I never got my 25 from my EVO lte. I have 15 from referrals and beta testing for them.
Box has improved significantly in the last few months to the point I use them only nowadays. 50 gb that doesn't expire and finally a desktop client just a tad under drop box's in functionality

I might actually start using that. I have an account there, but I just never used it because Dropbox was preloaded on my devices. Guess it wouldn't hurt to download it and start using it again.

Pretty much the only thing Box can't do is move directories around that are being synced to a desktop. You just create new directories where you want them, copy the files to them and bam, work around!
I had 50 from my s3 and got 25 for the One, 75gigs of free cloud is always nice
I didn't get anymore as I had gotten the sense 4 bonus. When I setup my wife's One with DB it gave her the Sense 4.0 25gb promotion.

I've confirmed this. 23 GB added under Sense 4.0 promotion. It takes quite some time to take effect, but appears to happen automatically. I also suggest revisiting the get started page to ensure you've completed all steps. Space added: 23 GB, not 25.

Received a Google Drive 40GB notification

I recently installed the Bad Boyz 5.5 ROM and a notification popped up that my device is eligible for 25GB of additional Google Drive space, but below that is says that my device couldn't be verified and I should contact a representative. Found some info regarding this here:
http://www.androidcentral.com/updating-htc-sense-55-claim-25gb-free-google-drive-space
BUT... since we're not supposed to have Sense 5.5 yet, I'm not too keen on contacting anyone. Anyone else get this message?
Just got that notice on blink feed today. It showed me the same message as well.

thanks for the heads up, this is badass. maybe i'll switch to Gdrive instead of dropbox
Even though i didn't get the 40gb they offer 15gb no strings attached

You need a locked bootloader in order to be verified.

So since I'm s-off, I can just do the command to re-lock the phone and then I should be able to get the extra storage?

I tried this already and it didn't work... I'm pretty sure it's because our sense 5.5 roms don't have the official firmware for sense 5.5 we have modified sense 5 firmware

Motox gets 50 free gigs. Maybe it would work to add your account to an in-store demo, get the extra space then factory reset

Good idea, was checking one out at Best Buy yesterday, wish I would have thought of this.
According to the article, you need to have Sense 5.5 installed so it would appear that we'll have to wait until there's an OTA update before we can try to claim the additional space.
No, your bootloader needs to be unlocked in order ti claim the bonus. You can just relock the bootloader, claim it and relock again. The downside is that you'll loose all your data

Nofriendsbz3 already tried what you suggested with no luck. There's obviously more to it than the locked bootloader.
1. Go to a retailer of a droid mini or moto X with live demos. (I went to best buy)
2. Add your gmail account
3. Download, open google drive, accept free 50GB.
4. Remove your google account from demo phone.
5. Profit
That's a lot of space. Lol I can't even fill a 16g flash drive.

Funny story... I followed your suggestion on a Moto X at a Verizon store. Got the 50GB notifivation, but couldn't remove my account info from the phone. So I performed a factory reset, just as a sales rep walked up to ask if I had any questions. The phones is showing a "resetting screen" while the rep looks over my shoulder. I said something along the lines of "Oops... I think I hit wrong button.". I set down the demo phone and walk out of the store.
Got 66 GBs now, so no complaints!

Haha awesome. I almost had to do the same but demo mode wanted a password to reset. To remove account, go to settings,account, push your Gmail account where you can select what gets synced, then top right push the 3 dot menu and remove.

Nexus 6 on contract VZ?

I've anxiously awaiting the nexus 6 on verizon. I'm a little worried, as I have contacted Verizon twice and they have no record of them opening up the pre orders tomorrow. Both reps checked everything they have and don't show it at all. Is it going to be available on contract for verizon? Will it be available for pre order?

Well they got the Turbo announcement out of the way, nothing holding them back now. Im going to just get it off the play store tomorrow though, Im not going to wait for them!
im gonna order off the play store tomorrow too, hopefully Verizon does not screw us and try to fight there activation

For my company I am the VZW authorizer for our account and business\enterprise support have not been able to tell me if can pre-order until last night. My rep emailed me saying that Friday I can pre-order...
There are so many answer out there who knows... I sent my new unopened box of the Samsung Note 4 back to their return center in TX yesterday so I am hoping that they have it all processed and in the system so I can get that line to show the upgrade again for the re-order...otherwise I have to wait next week.
Never had a Nexus look forward to it really enjoyed the Note line but if they will not get anymore root (maybe late) no roms no sell for me...at least my Note 3 has SS installed for the custom rom.
will verizon be able to sell the 64gb version?
I decided to just buy it from Motorola using their credit. Now the question is when will Motorola sell it on their site? !?!

I had the 50 gb free from my galaxy s3, and I could not use the 50gb from the note 4 on the same account, if you read the faq it says each account is only eligible for 1 storage upgrade (or words to that affect)
Simple (only? ) work around, new account.
