I think we can assume it will simply drop down to the default value and you will loose everything on there, I think we can also assume you will get warnings from dropbox prior to this informing you it is going to happen. To keep you're 50 gig you'll have to start paying.
I am guessing you either pay or lose it, up to you.
I wouldn't worry about it just now, because people's data is valuable I would imagine dropbox will email when it's going to end, so you can transfer files to your PC.
Also because the files are synced across devices they will be in your phone and PC (if you have dropbox installed) so they should be safe.
They will not be allowed to delete your data without your saying.
You can still use the space just can't add anymore.

Do you have your only copy at dropbox? Nahhh, it syncs your local storage right?
So you always have one copy locally.

You can set it to sync or not, I sync as I don't use it that much.
hope they allow use to keep the 50GB if nt more then 10 millon ppl is going to complain
In 2 years 50gb will be nothing special. So they will probably let you just keep using it and offer something bigger and better like 1TB or 10TB for small payment.
Remember when gmail was announced with 1GB storage? Everyone could not believe that they will give away all that space for free. How times changed.
As far as I'm aware, whatever of the space you have used will remain until you remove any items from Dropbox. As you remove stuff, the 50Gb will drop accordingly. Don't quote me on that, but I'm sure I read that somewhere!

Account space will freeze u wont be able to upload unless you pay monthly or whatever and wont be able to share those uploaded links but only account holder can download their own stuff.

For sure, dropbox will not delete ur data. Maybe just unlink ur fone from ur account, and keep ur data synced on ur pc. THAT'S INCASE they consider losing their customers.

By then Skynet would have taken over and cloud storage would be the last of your worries.
They l warn you b4 its getting over...
You can still use the stored data, but add nothing more until you remove the files taking the added space.
But isn't there a max time for your things to be stored? Like after five years of inactivity everything will be deleted?

Personally, I wouldn't worry too much. The world is supposed to end by December 2012 and you'll still have 1.5 years left on you Dropbox storage. So, it's all good! :good:

Hey Everyone,
Im not sure if anyone knows or even remembers hearing this, So I figured i'd let everyone know, Cause I myself had no clue. Doing some searching for 3.5 Skins I came across an article that states ALL Sense 3.5 Devices will be offered 5GB Free on Dropbox, Not sure about anyone else but I use DB all the time. All I did was downloaded the app from the market, Opened it up and signed in. About 3-4mins later I got the email confirm that i was given 3GB for free, which took me right up to 5GB. Not bad at all. This will be given to anyone, even if you dont have an account. So thats it, very simple. Just figured i'd share with anyone who wasnt aware....ENJOY!!!
JOn
I currently had.a.dropbox and didn't sign up, and it added 3 gigs to mine...for 12 months. Kinda stupid they take it away lol

I didn't get the e-mail with mine? I installed the app right when got the phone Monday morning.
I restored my DB via Ti, and when I just opened the app, I got the email saying I can get the free 3GB by going to some DB website. But it's not automatic and it looks like I need to complete some sort of BS "quest" to get the space. Whatever, I don't use it anyways, I just have it in case it ever becomes useful for me. I just use FTP for most transfer needs.
Still no luck... Signed in, or not.
Really? Man all I did was sign in. Actually I signed In thru the browser. Literally 5mins layer I got the email. Sign In thru yur browser and see if it give you any prompts to get the extra space. Worth a shot

Just signed in with the HTC Browser, so let's see.
I just go the email, it's their whole "getting started" thing where they pretty much want you to install drop box clients on every device you own.
I now have 5.5GB for free. Too bad I never really use dropbox because i have sftp/ssh setup on my linux box.
I have had Dropbox for a while, maybe this is why. I still haven't gotten an e-mail.
Thanks, 3GB extra credited today, my email had gone unread for a few weeks but was still okay to click and get the extra. I have the HTC HD2 with windows 6.5 and bootable Android on my SD card.
Thanks for the heads up as well though I'm late. Got my extra 3gigs today. Will come in real handy....
Just got my 3GB! Thanks
I know that we can't post wares here,but if you google it, they have a hacked APK where you get 23 gigs fo free. It was in general for a while, and got removed from xda.

HTC and dropbox said they were cracking down on that and would remove the storage from anyone who used it also just use a sense 4 rom that should do the trick without it being noticed by HTC

Pardon my ignorance, but what makes google drive better than my Dropbox account with 16gbs?

Nothing really. Unless you have a burning desire to put everything under your Google account.
At this time, Dropbox is actually a better solution as a lot of third-party applications already work with it. Until Google Drive functionality is adopted by these apps, Google Drive is of little value to me.
I agree. Unless it has some amazing new integration with Android, i'll just stick with Dropbox. It already works so well with android, plus the new auto-upload feature. Not seeing any reason to switch.
Microsoft sky drive is better too since it has same desktop app like drop box that syncs everything and you get to keep 25 gigs if you signed up for it originally otherwise 7 gigs.

I've got a buddy at work that's a hardcore Windows Mobile fanboy and has raved about the Sky Drive. Does it integrate with Android though? I couldn't find a way when i looked into it a few months back.

I agree with you about sky drive, but correct me if I'm wrong, it does not support android or has an android app.
No, but with lte through Web browser it's not so bad.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
Here you go guys. This is the comparison chart, and its confirmed sky drive does not supported android.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/skydrive/compare
o yes just so you know google has a sync app for windows just like dropbox and skydrive.
I agree with above. When and if Google drive receives the same leave of 3rd party support, then I'll leave drop box. Google drive reminds me of the hacked app gdrive from back in the day that took advantage of a JavaScript bug in gmail and let u use it as a personal online storage

Google Docs has been around for a while, you have a 2gb limit. It was said to be Gdrive back when it came out. I guess they redirect you there to the meantime, until Gdrive is opened up to all.
Google docs is now google drive. Its updated to 5gb. Also has a pc app that functions like dropbox.

It's taking a long time for Google to prepare my Google drive. I'm on the grandfathered 20gb plans not sure if that's delaying the activation.
Update: Lol 1 min after my post Google emailed me my drive is ready. Took around 12 hours from initial request.

I've heard people who would be using Dropbox from SGS III will be getting free 50GB dropbox storage.
Can anyone come out with some app showing dropbox tht we've logged in through Galaxy S3??? Something like that???

What's the purpose of this if one doesn't have truly unlimited data? If everywhere i go i need to stream crap, I'm going to max my data plan well before the month is out. I know wifi is different, but it still sounds like a pain in the ass. Am i missing something?

Yeah, i have an account. I guess i was more or less thinking this was some sort of solution or compromise for not including an sd card slot. I should have said downloading, not streaming, my bad. I was probably just looking at it from the wrong angle.
Edit: I was probably more confused than I originally thought. I thought the S3 wasn't going to have an SD card slot. It's hell getting old...

If i skipped the drop box signup on first load can i still get the 50 gigs now when i sign up on my phone?
That's what I did. Already had an account and logged in a couple of days after using the phone, 50gb appeared.
Sent from my GT-I9300
what would happen.. say if I logged into my new one.. got the 50gb and logged into another brand new one?
Would I get 100gb? or just the 50gb since I got it once already
Once only per device.
But if I have 2 Sgs3 devices and 1 drop box account will it give me 100gig?
On my Galaxy SIII
The question is; what will happen with the content when the validity time ends!

It wont be removed instantly, you will have a grace period with dropbox. Its as if you cancelled your subscription to higher capacities.

Can you not register each device with its own account and set up a shared folder link from one to another?
Does it expire 2 years after you register. I've had my phone since release and still haven't registered. Mainly because I don't really understand what you would use it for.
@ZaJules
Create a 2nd Account and share the folder with the other Account.
I Hope you have 64GB S3 + 64GB Micro SD-Card. Or dont you download these Files to the S3? :good:
For your Information:
You dont get 50 but 48GB from that Promotion.
With the free 2GB you have 50 :fingers-crossed:
After the peroid you cant upload more files, till you have reached the Size that your are allowed to use anymore.
Regards.

Hey guys.. what will happen if my 50GB Free Dropbox Storage finishes after approx. 2 years?
Will the data I have be all deleted?
Also wondering if there's any tip/trick to regain it back?
Thank you!
You can renew for 100GB for $100 a year.
I don't think they'll delete the data right away, but they will eventually.

Your data will not be deleted but you can not upload or sync any data after the 2 years.
If you take data or delete data than your not be able to use the free storage again.
You can after the 2 years pay for the storage to use it as now.

I went for the Google drive option, and only use drop box as secondary. Drive is a little cheaper at the moment and integrates well into the rest of the Google services I use.
