50Gb dropbox included with the GSIII question - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

For those who have gotten their GSIII's how do you go about adding the 50Gb of Dropbox space to an account you have already had?

Some other people said you get an email from Dropbox and have to do a series of steps (like for referrals). Someone needs to confirm this.

I just signed into App and it upgraded my account +48GB

Didnt Happen for me
Unfortunately none of the above worked for me.
I have raised a support task with dropbox to address my upgrade issues and am waiting to hear back.
If anyone else has any ideas in the meantime let me know.

You need to at least upload one file from your device, afterwards you should get the mail and space.

Great; and then again - who chooses which files to erase when it drops back to normal size after the 24 months period?

You did not get my point !! This access to 50 GB additional space must have certain time validity (6 Months , 1 year etc etc) , any idea regarding that ??
Secondly , putting anything important on DropBox would be risky so that's out of question , all we would put is some nice pictures clicked during our journeys to different places !

Dropbox 48gb granted for 2 years. That seems the validity time.....
