Dropbox teamed up with Samsung to offer a 50 GB bonus for users who log in via the Dropbox app on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2.
"Dropbox: you'll get 50GB of free Dropbox storage for a year when you first log in to the app on your Tab 2."

I have a Touchpad and was wondering if there was some way to spoof/trick the app into thinking it was running on a Galaxy Tab 2 so I could get in on this promotion.
I think this was spoofed but dropbox voided those that did this somehow. If it wasn't this deal it was something similar.

Someone grabbed the dropbox apk from the HTC one series and modded it to be installable on any phone to get 23gb but they found out and removed everyones space. Guess we should have seen it coming see the one series were nowhere close to release.

If you load back into WebOS, there's a 50GB deal for there, too (no, it doesn't stack with others), but you can get it if you sign up with an email from WebOS.
There is no client for webos. How would one sign up

I believe he's confusing dropbox with box.com

Even then the extra 23GB was only for 2 years....or at least that's what it told me when I used the HTC One apk
i NEVER GOT MY 50 GIGS WHEN I LOGGED IN FOR THE FIRST TIME.

You have to complete 5 steps before you can get it.

If you had Dropbox before then you probably completed the task before hand.

has anyone on AT&T been able to get the 50GB or due to ATT not signing up, all ATT users with the Int SGS3 won't be able to get it. I thought it meant you won't get the 50gb by buying ATT version.

I have the international i9300 version and I received the 48GB and I'm on At&t in the states. Side note I also purchased a unlocked HOX and got 25GB for that too. I had to actually sign in to dropbox (desktop) before it activated, not sure why.
I already had a Dropbox acount, on purchase registered my old account for the 48GB space and 1 hour later i got a e-mail stating my account was upgraded.
Still did not experience any problems listed in this topic, hope it's here to stay..
weird, I have an i9300 but still havent gotten the email. how did you start the process. I have the app & just logged in. I only see 2.75gb
I contacted DropBox CS & found out that you can only activate the free 50gb once. If you bought a phone from someone that activated the 50gb then you are ass out like me.
Got 25Gb from my one-x which i returned due to its DOA + the 49gb from the s3 DDDD

Is there a way to know who got the drop box 48gb from a particular s3?I bought it from a retailer and still didn't get 48gb space.
Sent from my s3 running CM9
rock2707 if your phone was not sealed (those white stickers on the sides which read 'Do not accept if seal is broken) it might've been a return which they resold.
In that case contact your carrier and demand your 2year worth of storage.
While it's not imprinted on the box itself, I'd guess it is a selling feature.
However before you go in the store all guns blazing try the following:
Login through the stock Dropbox app on your phone (not the market version!),
upload a file and download a file.
Then reboot the phone, wait 5 minutes and check the storage again.
(This is to make sure that slow updates in the Dropbox system and the appcache itself are not the cause)
It was my bad.Took me 2 weeks to realise that i had an email in my other id to get the free dropbox storage.That was seriously lol.

Or you could just edit your build.prop to reflect an LG phone.

It is NOT stealing. Terms below explicitly state login on an lg device. I removed my posts because I dont like being branded a thief.
Do what you want. I just saw an opportunity to help people get a nice storage account.
Official terms:
Any new Box user will receive a free 50GB account when they download and log into Box for Android on any LG Android device. Existing Box users will receive the upgrade when they log into Box for Android on their device.The offer is valid from through 12/31/13.

Make sure you read the fine print because if it was like Samsung's offer the 50GB Dropbox is only for a limited time then you have to pay for the service.

This one is for life...really cool deal. You can even add text message verification of new devices. I used to think box was not as good as dropbox but im digging box way more now. I think it runs on amazons servers.

A lot of storage. The only downfall is that the max file size is 250 megs. It registers you as a personal account so no getting around that as far as I know.

use winrar to zip your files, small inconvenience for 50gb of cloud storage
So, Samsung wants you to just simply share why you love your Note 2 and you'll be entered for a chance to win a $10 Google Play Gift Card. I guess anyone could technically enter as there seems to be no proof needed that you actually own an S3 or Note 2. It's fast and simple guys and gals!

That's correct. The 64GB is an online exclusive only..
After I week long debate I decided to get the 32gb. It probably will force me to use more cloud based services. I loaded my music I still had 16 gigs left. Instant win.

They let you upload something like 22,000 songs for free..
Yes it is. I use that and dropbox and it makes the 32gigs more than enough.

I don't think I will ever come close to filling that up..
That's awesome. I have 50 gigs from the s3 dropbox deal and the 20k song limit from Google music plus this phone is truly amazing. Go get ur 32 gig op so you don't have to wait for the 64. Hopefully we have helped.

I'm definitely going to need the 64gb. I have around 40 gbs of music that I want kept locally on the device. I've used Google Music and think it's great, but I don't have the data to use it like I would like to. The 64gb is a must and I'm a bit weary about purchasing it online due to the defects some are reporting. Does anyone know if these defects are as abundant in the AT&T version of the phone as they are in the international? I looked at one at the AT&T store and it seemed to be perfect.

I don't think there are any abundant defects in any version. I have a 64GB from ATT and it's perfect, except for the soft buttons not lighting up most of the time but I think they all do that to some degree.
Don't forget the OTG as well. It works great right out of the box. I just moved about 20GB of movie files off the phone onto a flashdrive and it was so quick I was shocked. I wish I'd paid attention to how long it was, seemed like just a few minutes.

I'm fine with the soft keys not lighting up. In fact, I'd rather them be off all the time and I'll make them that way if possible. I just don't see how or why it's necessary and, in the dark, it's excessively annoying.
I have an OTG cable for my Nexus devices and my favorite use of it has to be playing GTA III with a PlayStation controller. I like to show iPhone users that

I know how not having an ext. sdcard slot hurts, so here's something to help... sign into QuickOffice before Sept. 26 and you will receive an extra 10GB on your Google drive.

I installed it on my Nexus 7 (2013) but it seems to be only useful if you wish to live in the cloud.
I opened a word file in Quickoffice, edited fine, - but then could not save it back locally. I get an error "unable to save" for both save and save as.
Searching the web revealed a number of people who have the same problem and I didn't find a solution.....
