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.

what works best to share files, i got some custom themes i made and want to share
You can post a link with your dropbox, or upload to megadownload or something of the like.
Most people use dropbox or mediafire

Dropbox for small files, in the hold down on the item(apk, song, etc) and press share And copy a link then you should have a link the you can post for anyone to download it
If you don't have an Evo3d well you don't have an Evo3d
For the love of god don't use megaupload or similar. There are so many free alternatives out there. Megaupload and similar are annoying.
+1 for dropbox. Not sure what their data policy is, but as already noted for small files it is great, and easy, and convenient.
I'm not sure why i haven't seen anyone using it yet, but www.ge.tt is great for transferring large files (up to 2 GB) for free. Again, haven't read anything about their data policy, but their TOS doesn't specifiable call anything out. Best part about that service is you are given a link that is active as soon as you START the upload. People can start pulling it down as soon as you click upload. Really neat option.
Just my $0.02
Here is what I use now

You get free 5GB of space and its better than Dropbox in my opinion. Have fun.
edit: Please if you sign up for this 5gb of free storage, please use my referral or click the thanks.. either will do.
Wow 5gb that's awesome, I got a mediafire account and only got 250mb.
Hitting thanks button, thanks everyone

Stumbled upon this so I thought I'd share it here in the Rezound forum.
Seems to still be working after the new year started... don't know how long it will last.
The offer is for certain phones and someone made an app to make it very easy to make it seem you have those phones even without a rooted phone. I know most of the people on here are rooted by now though. Perhaps this works on rooted phones too, or else just search and you'll find a thread about doing it on rooted phones.
Thread by the app maker with link to download here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1413382
Since this is still working here's what you can do if you have a rooted phone. Change the following values to this:
ro.product.model=VS910 4G
ro.product.manufacturer=LGE
Then change them back afterwards, so save the originals.
Full instructions here:

Make sure you have an account setup @ Box.com first, all this app does is enable to 50GB storage.
Its setup and everything...I installed the apk on sdcard installed it and tried to log in and it said log in error
Thanks. Upgraded with no problem and confirmed =)

Got it working..
Worked for me a couple days ago. If you get the login error double check your info. You can login to box.net to confirm it worked in your account settings, it will show you your allocated memory.

Many thanks!! Just worked for My wife and I
Nice to see it's still working!
Just worked for me, thanks!
App still worked for me! Great find!
I found this Box APK that does the work for you. All you do is enter your username/password in and it adds the 50GB to your account. I'm currently not rooted and it worked. It gave me a login error but I checked my Box account and it shows 50GB. Once you use the app you can uninstall it.
I found the APK over on AndroidForums: http://www.mediafire.com/?6uzjl6hjtxtindl
If this is not allowed here please remove the download. Hope this makes it easier for some of you.
That's exactly what I posted except I gave the link to the app creator's thread.
Still working ;-)

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.

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!
Hi guys,

Or he can just deal with the Box storage . There's nothing wrong with it, and titanium backup can upload your backups directly to it.
It works like a charm for me, and it's free.
Edit: haha, didnt notice your market link was for Box, sorry :screwy:

Hey guys,
I just found a relatively new cloud storage app called Copy. They are giving away 20GB (15Gb + 5GB for using the referral link) to new users. I'm a pretty avid Dropbox user so I always end up comparing things with them. So far I've been really pleased with Copy. There isn't anything it won't do that Dropbox does. I also think I may actually like their mobile app better than Dropbox's.
Some great features I've found so far:
20GB OF FREE SPACE FOR LIFE! Thats way more than any of the other guys are offering in their free tiers. And this isn't temporary space like you'd get with other promos from Dropbox.
NO FILESIZE LIMITS. Some of the others I've tried (I'm looking at you Box) give you tons of free space but then cap you at 200mb or less file size limits. I uploaded a 1GB file as a test and it took it without complaints.
Multi-platform. They have a desktop sync app for Windows, Mac, and Linux and have Android and iOS mobile apps.
5GB per referral you have sign up! Compared to the others, I could only find 1 that gave 1GB free space per referral. (Note - it says on their website this is only going to be for a limited time so I imagine they will eventually lower it to 1GB or something)
So now that you are all pumped and excited to go sign up, here is the link to use to sign up:MOD EDIT LINK REMOVED Make sure to use that link because you will get the 15GB for signing up plus the additional 5GB for using a referral link.
Once you use the link above to sign up, download and install the desktop sync app and/or the mobile app from Google Play MOD EDIT LINK REMOVED
Enjoy your free cloud storage!
Thanks,
Zeustopher
