I already have 18.8GB of free space from Dropbox from referrals and tesing software. When I get my new HTC EVO 4G LTE, will Dropbox give my an additional 25GB of storage for a total of 43.8GB of storage? If not, I guess I will use a different email address. Anyone know?
Thanks
The leaked users guide says it will give you and additional 23gb (in addition to the 2 free gb they give everyone)
It has a time limit of 24 months too (fyi).
XDA Since 2007...
Is there a source for this?
yes it will give you ~40gigs for 2 years...at least it did for the apk that was released on xda until dropbox figured it out. i currently have 22.8GB on dropbox and it went up to almost 50 for a few days
What happens at the end of two years if you fill up all that data? Do they delete it all? Hold it hostage unless you pony up for a subscription?

ok, more dropbox space is always great so I'm asking for a link about how to go about doing so

Install the Dropbox app on the phone & login. That easy.
Better yet, go to an AT&T store & over to one of the HTC One X active models & try it today.
Just remember to uninstall it from the display phone afterward.

No, I believe the extra 25GB will be allocated when you register your account (new or existing) through the actual device.

I got my new EVO yesterday and I logged into Dropbox as I was setting it up. I never got my extra 25GB. As a note: I already have the HTC 3.5 3 GB added for 1 year that I did a few months ago. Does this make a difference? Who do I contact if I want to complain. Do I try to remove Dropbox from my new EVO and re-login again? HELP!

I was having the same problem. Here is what I did:
- Go to www.dropbox.com/gs and make sure the steps were completed (mine already were).
- In the dropbox app, go to menu>settings>turn on camera upload>untick "upload existing photos and video (unless you want to upload them)> select the green "turn on" button.
-Wait about a minute until your account reflects the 23GB upgrade.
- Go back in and turn off camera upload (unless you want to use this feature. I personally use Google+ for this).
Nope, didn't work. Does anyone have the original Dropbox APK from the EVO LTE ROM? I want to so this from scratch.

If you have insurance they will replace lost phones...

Well, that SUCKS! I'd be pissed, too, if I lost mine.

I think I remember something about sprint family tracker. You could check that out, but I think your gps has to have been on.
Depending on how smart the person that picked it up is, you may be able to install a tracking app from the Market from your computer and find it(as long as they haven't logged out of your account). You may be surprised. I would retrace my steps and see if anyone turned it in. Since it is a Saturday night I would assume that most likely you left it at a restaurant or bar. I would go back to each one of them(once they open) and see if someone turned it in. If not, you will have to report it stolen and get a new one through TEP if you have it. I always, ALWAYS carry TEP on my phones. It's a lot easier to come up with $100 deductible then to come up with $600 to buy one outright.
Ok. I'm sober now drinking my coffee.
I had a beer pong table set out on my lawn (I own a lot of land and am going to be combing it today) but I know its not there. I got in the car with somebody to get cigs (with baggy sweat pants on) at the local convenient store. I went back to the store (piss drunk) and asked the two girls if they've seen it and nada ****ING thing (its not in either of the two vehicles either)
I've called and texted my phone a million times (I have to slow down or my battery will die). I do have the $100 dollar insurance but am bummed out about the new hboot.
What's the name of the app that tracks it and how do I install it to my phone from either my tabs or PC?
Thanks guys.

The name of the app is Plan B. It's by the same company as Lookout.
Here's what it says on their website: "Lookout has an app called Plan B which can locate your phone after you've lost it. The phone needs to be powered on and have a network and data connection. Just go to the online Android Market (http://market.android.com), log into your Android Market account, and install the app to your missing phone. If you are able to install the app and it runs, you will begin to get emails to the Gmail account that you have registered with the Android market with location information."
I also read after you install it, you have to send a text that says "locate." I've even read where someone didn't start getting the emails til the next day. The phone had died, but then the person who had it recharged it!
Oh, yeah. After you install the app to your phone, install Lookout to your tablet, just in case. Not only can you do the locate thing, but Lookout also examines any app you download for malware.
Hope this helps. Keep us posted.

If you set up your account in HTC hub to use skins and you turned on the phone finder go to greener.com log on with the account you set up and you should be able to use that to find your phone.
The app they are talking about is called lookout you can google Android market on your computer to get it but I don't think it will install it but I could be wrong.
EDIT:looks like it will install it once that is done go to lookout.com and set up the account and hopefully that will work. there is also an app called where is my droid that might help here it the link to it https://market.android.com/details?id=com.alienmanfc6.wheresmyandroid&feature=search_result

You can log into the market from your computer and have it install plan b on your phone remotely . The phone of course has to be on and your gmail account still linked on the phone. Plan b is for when you have already lost your phone and didn't have a tracking app installed. I just installed the sprint tep app that does the same thing as lookout for for free(I'm guessing you need to have tep for it to work?) That won't help now(plan b is your best shot) but it will help in the future if you ever misplace your phone

When you get the message saying "check with clerk to make sure transaction has processed" it will also say "or tap again to complete". Just tap the phone to the pay pass again and it will say "sent" for the second time and then the transaction will be complete.

I think some stores that have the paypass machine, don't actually have the machine hooked up to work with it.
If it does nothing at all, I'd imagine thats the case. It wasn't setup on their end.

Is there actually a Desktop application for this that integrates with Finder/Explorer? It seems like you have to upgrade and pay a monthly fee to use the official one on Mac/Windows ... which kind of makes 50 GB useless.
maybe this gladinet thing would do the trick, although I only use my box account to backup things from my phone.

Looks like it could be OK, but really would prefer something official. It turns out you can just mount it as a network drive https://support.box.com/entries/20359428-does-box-support-webdav-or-ftp-connections. This seems to work quite well, but since it is a network drive it is noticeably slower than SkyDrives implementation.
There is a max file size of 100 MB, so this doesn't actually seem to be that useful as a backup solution. If you are just backing up your phone then this is probably OK...but the other free solutions like Dropbox seem like better alternatives.

I prefer the software and ease of use with Dropbox, as Drive tends to be more cumbersome. There's also more third party integration such as TiBu or Dropsync.

I believe if you ever had the 3 months free offer before, it won't let you use it again on the same email/I'd.
It was like the free 1 year onedrive offer that you would get with Samsung devices.
If you used it once it wouldn't let you get another unless you use a different email.

I know that when you first boot the app it offers 1 month...but I believe if you go into settings and select Get Youtube Premium it offers more.
