So I just got my phone from Best Buy but the guy skipped through the screen for dropbox during setup. Do I need to get back to that screen to get the 50 free gigs or can I just use the regular app.
log in via dropbox app, you'll then receive an email congratulating you on your new galaxy s III etc etc.
Has a link you click do a few stupid things and its yours.

Weird, I didn't get an email. I just signed in, pushed the options to check my storage, and it was updated to reflect the additional 50gb to my 15gb already.
You just have to do 5 out of the 7 or 8 things on their "Get Started Guide" in order to activate the extra 48GB space.
Cool thanks guys
Not bad

you must of already completed 5 tasks.
getting the extra 50G
Similar situation for me.
I am a free user who is up to 5.8G based on referrals.
From what I am seeing from other user, seems I just jump through a few hoops signing on my new SIII and end up with 55Gigs. And when the two years is over, I drop back to wherever I was with referrals?
Thoughts?

P.S. On their site, Box states the following:
If you already have an older version of the Box app on your device, you just need to sign into your account on your device and the upgrade should be complete.

I myself have just created an account but at first login it's 5GB. And the second. Damn :-/ (using it on my MB526)

Cheers!

For everyone: do as the steps say. im enjoying my 50GB!!

I think you have to set the manufacturer to "LGE", not "LG". Here's a quick tutorial:
First, install the Box app from the Market and create a free account. (You'll get 5 GB of free space already.)
Next, find the build.prop file on your phone's internal memory. (On some ROMs, it may be in the root directory; for me, it was in the "system" folder). Copy the file to your SD card and also make an extra copy of it for backup. Long-press one of those copies and select "Open As," choose "Text," and open it. Look for the line that says
ro.product.manufacturer=Motorola
and change it to
ro.product.manufacturer=LGE
Also find the line that says
ro.product.model=MB525
and change it to
ro.product.model=VS910 4G
Save the edited file, then use a root-enabled file explorer (like ES File Explorer) to copy your edited "build.prop" file from your SD card and paste it back where you got it in the system folder of the phone's internal memory, overwriting the original file. Then reboot the phone, log into your Box app again, and you should see a message saying you've been upgraded to a 50GB account.
Then copy the backed-up (non-edited) version of your build.prop file and paste it back in the system folder (the same way you did with the edited version), and reboot the phone again. Your phone is now back to normal (and all your apps, etc. will correctly recognize it as a Motorola DEFY), but you'll still have your 50GB of free space!
Thanks. It's work.

OK, someone please enlighten me: is this service for file sharing or file stealing? How do they guard against copyrighted material being "exchanged"?
OK, I called Box and spoke with customer service and they claim they are not just another version of MegaUpload but have, apparently, 100% zero checks in place to prevent IP theft. They said, however, they are going to "shoot my question upstairs" and get back to me.
tHANK YOU!
nice
Nice one thanks for the heads up
that's cool, working and its great
thanks
Still works.
Got a Headache? It's all in your Head.
thanks, i signed for that account and got 50Gb, but soon deleted it because i liked more minus, i liked it more i dont have as many limits as in box.com
I use box its cool

Well, since it was a promotion from Box (install their app within a certain period and get automatically 50GBs for life) I made an account too. The good news is that Titanium Backup Pro got updated a few days ago with support for Box syncing (so those 50GBs make sense now, despite the user being limited to max. 100MB files).
Not really a problem

Anyone have an alternative to Awesome Drop? - i do not want dropbox - i'm looking for a easy way to get small files from my PC to Phone quickly through my wifi. No programs etc. Like awesome drop, it'd be great to have it go from browser, but if not just suggest me some.
awesome drop is not working for me.
www.labs.dashwire.com is down apparently.
Sugar Sync
While this is an app, Sugar Sync is an amazing(and free) app that auto syncs whatever you want, photos, videos, or even certain folders. Look it up, and see if you like it!
minus.com and minus app in market.
Edit: Forgot to add you get up to 50 gig free with minus.
I'm not sure if there is any....

To transfer files between phone and pc on wifi I use Samba fileserver. It just turns your phone's internal SDCard into a network share. Free market app. Configure once. Does one thing and does it well. Presto.
I'll have to give that a try...

zzzap.it
We have released zzzap.it out of private beta a couple of days ago. It's actually quite similar and allows you to send any file from your desktop's web browser to an Android phone. There's an optional Chrome browser plugin that resembles the Chrome-to-Phone functionality as well. No user accounts required. The file size is currently limited to 10 Megabytes.
Would be nice to get some initial feedback in case you want to try it out. Thanks!

I signed up during the initial setup process of the phone. Signed up perfectly fine and got the 50GB dropbox.
You didnt skip it, and register it some funny way? You may want to contact dropbox about it
@monkey sausage ... Just open your mail account which you submitted while opening your dropbox account. Therein you will find a mail from the DropBox inc , open it & just select the clauses which are not ticked or cancelled .
When you have gone through every clause (you may just click on the clause & tap the back button , all they want is that you have read all the clauses) , a message will appear that you now have access to additional 50 GB space on dropbox.

Thanks for supercharging your Samsung device with Dropbox! To claim your 48 GB of space, complete five steps from our Get Started guide.
if you login to dropbox on a computer, go to
https://www.dropbox.com/gs
I have a list of 7 steps there and I had to complete 5 to get all 50GB.
Not sure how to make it skips all those like @ketani73 said.

IMPORTANT: YOU ONLY HAVE ONE SHOT AT THIS ON A SINGLE DEVICE--MESS IT UP AND YOU'LL HAVE TO GET A NEW DEVICE TO TRY AGAIN
You *must* flash an International ROM and use an account that you haven't used with a HTC phone before. NOTE: If you tried the DropBox apk pulled from the One X last year on any android device you must use a different account, even if it didn't work.
MOD EDIT: Removed. This is not allowed on XDA for devices which are not part of the original promotion.
Worked for me thanks a bunch

Unlock bootloader through HTC Dev, install custom recovery, and install any ROM from the International forum. I found the International Stock ROM to be very nice.
Sign in during the setup process with a Dropbox account. YOU MUST USE AN ACCOUNT THAT HASN'T BEEN USED WITH THIS OFFER BEFORE, SEE ABOVE.
Complete 5 of the 7 steps at www.dropbox.com/gs
If you did it correctly, within a couple minutes you should get an email.

How much space you will additionally get with already existing drop-box account for this HTC offer?
So if I took advantage of the drop box promo on my HOXL, I can not use that same drop box account and get another x amount of GB on this phone? Or do you mean the same Google account on the phone?

Same Dropbox account. So you can't use the same Dropbox account you used on your HOXL because it has already been used to get free space through the HTC offer/deal thing.
My wife is using the touchwiz email app with a pop server and ssl enabled. Data usage has been through the roof. Under Settings it shows that she's used 2gig in the last 20 days for email alone.
I called T-Mobile and they tried to convince me this was normal and tried to put me on an unlimited plan. Wouldn't acknowledge that 2gig + per month is excessive for email.
Anyone have any idea what might be going on?

No big attachments. Its been consistently around 100mb give or take 20mb daily. She upgraded from the S3. I still have the phone and saw that she would use 65mb or so a month for email. Email settings on both are the same. Both set to check for email every 30minutes.
I just deleted the account and reinstalled to see if it makes a difference.

That should fix it.
What usually causes the problem is something gets stuck sending a message and will eat through data very fast.
