I dont know if this was just a bug, or if it happens to everyone, but i just logged into my Dropbox account on a new HTC Sense 3.5 rom, and i got an email from Dropbox giving me an extra 3g space :S
Nice 3GB for free xD

Anyone confirm?
You could run a nandroid backup on your current ROM and then test a Sense 3.5 ROM.
An extra 3GB would be nice, but I dunno if I can be bothered putting in the effort to get it
This is the mail you will receive.
Thanks for supercharging your HTC phone with Dropbox! To get the most out of your Dropbox, visit our Getting Started guide and gain an extra 3GB of space!
Enjoy,
- The Dropbox Team
Yeah I got that as well. "3GB of bonus space for the next 12 months" according to the email I got (on top of what I already had). Nice little gift.
//sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk; all errors entirely intentional.
I received the same eMail and was so confused, that I even started to google the expression 'dropbox guru' but I just found these boring 250MB bonus space stuff
there's absolutely no information about how to get a 3,5GB gift (even on the official homepage)
I think we should quietly accept this (buggy?) gift and enjoy it
You become a "Dropbox Guru" for completing the getting started items. So if anyone hasn't completed these could maybe check if thats it?
I got the bonus as well after I tried a new ROM. Same message about becoming a dropbox guru.
Me too got 3 GB extra. Flashed ARHD 6.1.0 2days ago but opened dropbox today only and got a mail saying free 3GB but only for 12 month ? If I am storing above 2 GB after 12 month period what happens to the data ?
I also got the 3GB extra for installing Dropbox and logging on to my account on my Desire HD. Based on the amount of extra space you get, it seems to be a promo for using Dropbox on a 3.0-based Android ROM, but I've not read about this promo anywhere, so I might be wrong.
I didn't know how I got the extra 3GB... Now I know... I updated my rom to CoreDroid 8.0 GB 2.3.5.... Thanks DropBox. Though only for 12 months :-(

How long did it take for you to get this email? I reinstalled dropbox and logged in, on ARHD 6.1.0, around 10 mins ago.
Big thanks for uncovering this, if true !
EDIT: Got my 3gb! Awesome!
Crazy ****t..... I got 5gb..... After flashing arhd sense 3.0 ..... Gonna try it again. After a nandroid backup..... U never know. Hahaha....

I got the 3GB too, I assume closer to the time if your overall storage is going to be reduced we'll get some generic warning email!
Same goes to me...but im on Sense 3.0....hehe

Got more space as well.

Wait, folks are still waiting for invites?!
I've had mine set up for a couple weeks now (maybe cuz I used to have a Xoom they sped my invite up...) and am loving it. Been using the web software at work to listen to music. Then switch to my phone for the drive home (streaming over the webz).
Either way, it uploaded about 2/3 of my 33 gig collection. Apparently there's a 20 gig limit...

You sure about that? If you look at the settings it allows you to upload 20000 songs. I have 46.5 gigs of music and thats only around 10000 songs. I know it didnt upload some of my music due to DRM. I've been uploading for 4 days and its at about half lol

Yeah I saw that limit and I certainly haven't come close to the 20000 songs yet, but it inexplicably won't scan above the 2gig mark for me. Maybe I need to figure out a way to re-add the missing songs

yes, people with tablets got their invites faster than others.
I can't seem to get shuffle to work on my phone. It will just keep repeating the same song. Maybe because my music isn't cached yet? Odd, but otherwise pretty awesome.
Is there a way to select what to upload and what not to?
received my invite yesterday still uploading music but its worth it. best app i have used in a while. does anyone have an idea of how much it will cost? its says its free for now?

Well i figured it out,as it was my first transaction,google automatically deducts 1$ for adding my debit card to google wallet !! dunno if it returns it back too
I was trying to re-add my card to google wallet and then i found out about it !!

Get asphalt 6 for her phone
Thats the racing game i was on about, couldn't remember the name of it. I was going to get it on her phone but she hasn't set up her payment details properly and it was light so i just left it to the next day, i didn't know that the apps for 10p changed daily then so ive missed out.
I got GLWG for 10p which is good fun, im just stocking up on good 10p games even if they wont work well on our x10 ready to play on whenever i get a new phone or tablet.
trouble downloading from market
hope someone can help me on this.
been trying to download some of the featured discounted apps but it keeps saying "error occured. please try again." i also tried on other regular paid apps (outside the discounted section) and i still get the same error. free apps i can download no problem.
i thought it has something to do with where i am (Philippines) but when i try to do it via pc browser, the paid apps get pushed to my device with no problems.
any of you have any thoughts on this?
thanks!

For those who use Dropbox this might be of interest; there's a new Android beta at http://forums.dropbox.com/topic.php?id=53013&replies=742
Quote:
"Hi everyone!
Even though the holidays have passed, we're really stoked to give you guys one more present -- a new experimental release! Under the wrapping you'll find a bunch of new toys, including a brand new Camera Upload feature. Here are the release notes:
• Automatically uploads photos and videos in the background using Wi-Fi or data plan
• 500MB of free space on first photo uploaded automatically
• Upload files of any size (no more 180 MB limit!)
• Support for resuming file uploads when there are network issues
• Various performance improvements & bug fixes
During this beta period, we are also offering additional free space to test automatic uploading of photos and videos. For every 500MB of photos and videos automatically uploaded, you'll receive another 500MB space bonus, up to 5GB total (including the initial 500MB space).
[Update: this space is not separate from 5GB given for uploading on our desktop clients. Uploading from either desktop clients or Android app will count towards the same 5GB free space.]"
Now, if you have not taken 4.5GB worth of pictures and videos the easiest way of getting that full bonus is... well, you just slap all sorts of smallish music videos, all those dirty hentai pictures you undoubtedly have on your PCs and so on on the sdcard/DCIM or sdcard/DCIM/Camera on your device and let Dropbox sync those. Easy 5GB.
Just don't bother with files over 500MB as they seem to only count towards 500MB uploaded once, ie. if you upload a 1.5GB file it'll still only count as 500MB uploaded.
----
As for those who do not use Dropbox: just ignore this thread instead of starting some petty and childish argument how it sucks or how your favorite service is sooo much better.
Do we get to keep the 5 gigs after the beta is over?

You have to make sure the photos etc are imported using the DropBox automatic photo import facility. This is either when you plug in a camera, phone, or just a flash card (with the right folder structure to appear as a camera). You can also do it from the phone itself I understand.
That is what they are testing, and that is what they give extra GB for.
I believe it is closed, but give it a try anyway.
the original was closed, however there is another new beta and they're repeating what they did before, i forgot to do it last time and i'm just finishing up 5gb now. Took a few seconds of looking on their forum to find it.
Many thanks.

Seeing if that will give me more space.
The last one I uploaded 1.5GB from my phone and no extra space.
Looks like this one if for the android app instead of the desktop app. No additional 5GB if you had it once, but new takers can get it.
Any one else get there free space taken back? I thought I was going crazy when mine magically shrunk back down to 2.75
still going strong here
Same. I have noticed that on my phone app it says I only have 2.75 though. Everywhere else says my correct amount however.
contact customer service.
I did the beta dropbox and randomly lost 500mb and I posted on the thread about it and a day later, i got my 500mb back.

and free 2.75gb to you!

it has to be a sense 4 rom from a phone that it's supposed to be on (aka htc one X, not desire z)
I still have the extra space *knock on wood* they haven't taken mine back yet, haha

There is a way to increase your space by 3GB legitimately right now by utilizing DB's new auto-upload feature. You can simply update to DB 1.4, turn the feature on, and connect a storage device containing videos and/or images.... they auto upload, and for every 500MB you upload, DB will increase your space by 500MB (up to 3GB). Every little bit helps. Just as an fyi...

Sign up for a dropbox account (if you don't already have one) then sign in on your tablet after you install the app and you should automatically get it.

Just got my 48gb's took less than five mins, more than enough space although it only lasts for 12 months
Looks like you only get it once...
I bought the Galaxy Tab 2 7" for my Mom as a Mother's Day gift. (I kinda owed her something extra nice, since I missed visiting for Christmas). Mom lives about 1,000 miles away and doesn't even have a smartphone much less know what to do with a tablet, so I got it all set up for her and then shipped it off. In the process I used DropBox to transfer over some eBooks. MY DropBox account.
After signing myself out and Mom in, the bonus 50GB (I think it's supposed to be 50) never appeared for Mom. I'm guessing it's once time per MEID (or whatever) rather than once per account.
So, be careful if you're planning on gifting it to someone else, or if you use multiple DropBox accounts. Looks like it'll only give the bonus out ONE time.
I bought the 7 inch tab yesterday and when I logged in it updated me that I had gained 48GB of space free for a year. Checked on the computer and it showed and I checked my phone and it also showed. Pretty cool.

You get 2 GB free when you signup for Dropbox. Do you have 50 GB total? If so, it's probably the 2 DB for signing up and 48 from the Tab 2.

I've had my Tab 2 7" for a month now (a prerelease beta model) and I signed up for Dropbox back then and got no bonus. I've tried redoing it, but since my tablet has already been signed up I didn't get anything. Is there a way to get the 48 GB in my situation?

Try contacting Dropbox and tell them your situation. They'll make an effort to investigate, and if it checks out, you get it!
