How to activate 50.gb dropbox - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have tried uploading something as suggested . Still 2gb . Also someone said log into Samsung account but I can't find it... is it one of these or something else I need to do

Mine updated itself to 50GB pretty much as soon as I logged into the app through the phone. Maybe try signing in/out through the phone a few times to make sure it's logged the S3 connection?

I had to do seven different things through a getting started page. Upload a picture, start a new folder, recommend drop box to a friend etc etc.. to get the 50GB.

If you already have a drop box account, you might have already done these tasks to get extra space there. When signing in on your new Galaxy S3 however the extra space doesn't show, until you upload a file from the phone.
You will also get a welcome email if you create a new account that tells you how to complete the simple tasks mention above.

Dropbox is the most preferred option.
I personally use Box as it gave me lifetime 50GB storage, it runs sweet on my SGS2 & I use it every day. The only 1 issue I have is the upload limit, so it can take a few minutes to upload large files. But that is something I can happily live with, or I can upgrade for a few pounds & then the limits are removed. So my point is use whatever you feel suits you best, not somebody else

Box as they give me 50gb lifetime storage. They do limit upload speeds & file sizes but if you pay for upgrade the limits are removed. Its very cheap too considering what you get for your pound notes

Hand down Dropbox because I can sync it with titanium backup ADIE and my computer.
I only have 10GB on Dropbox, but more and more app are adding Dropbox interrogation and right now that's more useful then 45gb of space I have nothing to do with.

There's Box integration in TiBu now, by the way.
I would say dropbox is the more popular one out of the 2.
Here is a guide to help you get more space out of dropbox http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1520930
I use Dropbox because I can run it on Windows, GNU/Linux and my cellphone. Not sure if the other app mentioned in the OP can do that, but Dropbox does with without much of a problem..
I like DropBox for the seamless synchronization - I always know that I am working on the latest version of a file without having to manually download it. At least the way that I have things set up, Dropbox feels a lot more like an extension of my existing storage rather than a separate storage space.
I tried box some time ago, but i found the maximum file size very annoying. None of that with dropbox.

I started using Box since the free 50GB promo. Titanium allows you to backup with box so now I can have all my apps backed up and still have plenty of space left.

I did all the little things like add them on twitter/facebook blah blah for like a gb? Then I did the beta testing for the auto picture upload and got 5 Gb.
I also did student bonus thing to get 500mb a per rather then just 250mb for everyone I invited .
If you don't know about the student bonus here's the link~

Thanks! I have 4 gb now. So biggest thing is I shouldn't have missed the beta testing...

Anyone want a dropbox invite help a brother out =P?

I use both. Normally prefering Dropbox but mobile version are light years behind desktop version. In principle mobile version is not usable.

Give Dropsync a try - truly makes dropbox as seamless on mobile as it is on the desktop.
I personally use both. I use Box to keep a backup of, like, everything. I use Dropbox for sharing files since it's so easy. Share a link, person clicks on link, file automatically downloads.
I prefer Dropbox. The only reason is that there is upload limit and bandwidth limit in box.
Above all, I would rather prefer minus which gives upto 50 GB extended space with no upload and bandwidth limits!

Dropbox and 50gbs?

How do we register? Was there paperwork in the box? Aorry my box is miles away from me right now.

Open the app and sign in/register (as far as I can remember you need to register a new account). Wait for an email to arrive and there is a link saying something along the lines of "Get extra space free". Follow enough steps in there and you're good to go.
PS: Forgot to mention before Dropbox admit they have a limit of 16Gb at the moment unless you pay for an account
Don't need a new account. I have done it with my old one. Just use the app on the phone
worked on mine, i followed the instruction stated:
Take the Dropbox tour Complete!
Install Dropbox on your computer Complete!
Put files in your Dropbox folder Complete!
Invite some friends to join Dropbox Complete!
Install Dropbox on your mobile device Complete!
if you do this you'll see that your space will be updated to 48GB
What have i missed, sounds like we get free dropbox out of the box? Can anyone clarify?

I didn't do the install Dropbox on your computer and install Dropbox on other computers you use
Ok can someone explain to me this. So we get the 48 gig for 24 months, does this means after 24 months we have to pay or else losing the file we uploaded?
Thanks,
Drew
I am almost certain the 2 year limit will work like most other similar services, after the two years they won't delete your items you just won't be able to upload anything else until your back below your limit.

Sweet! Didnt even read about this, was out of the country detached from the world for 7months so soon as i landed i just looked for the highest specs phone and thought XDA would do the rest for me.
Is the info/paper work in the box?
I got a confirmation e-mail about my free 50GB of Dropbox storage a few seconds after logging into the app on my S III.
This takes my free Dropbox account up to 105GB in total! (previously got 50GB of extra storage by logging into Dropbox app from a Sense 4.0 ROM on my HTC Sensation).
To trigger the free space you just need to log in and upload something from your phone.

[Q] Lost my key file that I used to sign my app

I have a good app. Its a free educational app with almost 15,000 downloads and almost 5,000 active current installs. Its a shame that I can't update the app because I lost the keyfile i used to sign the app. What can I currently do in this situation?

There is no way if you have lost the key. Next time email it to yourself, to have it forever.
Upload with new package name and add a link to the new package to the description.
There isn't anything you could do else: you won't ever be able to upload an update.

Damn, I'm going to email myself my key right now, that would suck balls.
They should tell you this when creating a key! (I guess they probably do.. I tend to just fill in the blanks and press next...)

[THEME][APK][AT&T][ODEXED]-Accuweather

1. You use this at your own risk, if you mess up your phone its your own fault, I'm not responsible for it
2. Make a backup copy of the AccuweatherPhone2013.apk some where on your phone
2. If you are not on at&t, do not try these without a custom recovery (twrp or cwm). Minor differences in these system files can easily cause a boot loop, which in the absence of a recovery can be a soft brick!
3. Copy the AccuweatherPhone2013.apk to /system/app set permissions reboot
Version 1.0
50% Transparent
AccuweatherPhone2013 V1.0
Thanks. This is working for me. However, after doing this, I had to recreate all of my other widgets as well. I had two alarms and the Google Song ID widgets - all of which disappeared after doing this. I was able to add them all back and they seem to be working fine.

I thought it was quiet. I used root explorer on the phone to make the changes. Here's the process I did:
1. Downloaded your file to my PC
2. Extracted the .apk
3. Removed the existing Accuweather widget from my home screen
4. Cleared Accuweather cache
5. Used Root Explorer to copy existing apk to another location (copy, not move)
6. Renamed existing apk to .bak via Root Explorer
7. Copied your apk to the "Download" folder on the phone from my PC
8. Used Root Explorer to drop your apk into the System/Apps directory
9. Rebooted
10. Added widget - worked and looks great
11. Scrolled to the next screen to the right of my home screen
12. Saw my two alarms and Google Song ID widgets missing
13. Added them back
14. Tested all widgets and all are working
So, I don't know if I did something wrong in the process, but that was the exact flow of what I did. Either way, again, thanks. I had been using the 50% Accuweather on my S2 forever. I really like that look and you delivered it on my S4. Adding back a few widgets doesn't bother me at all.
Can anyone re-up this for me?

Any chance we can get a deodex'd version? I'm still a noob at this, so if your .apk plus the .odex file will do the same thing, let me know. I'm now running ShoStock on my S4 and it is a deodex'd ROM. Your odex version worked great for me until the switch.
