I thought it was only for LG and sony experia arc handsets?

For those who download the new Android Box app, or upgrade their existing app, the company is throwing in 50GB of free storage for life, while file upload limits will jump to 100MB. A normal Box account provides 5GB of free storage. The company has done this with other app launches, like iOS, which received 1 million downloads in the first five days.
Box > Dropbox, love the 50GB very useful.

Both my Box accounts said upgraded to 50GB .

Yup, mine just upgraded also
Good stuff and many thx!

I have just created a new account and been given 50 GB !
Thank you for the info!

Thanks, jost got mine...

free 50GB is great although there is a 100MB file limit

100mb upload makes it pretty pathetic to me, & I certainly ain't got 50gb of photos & videos under 100mb.
If the 100mb limit isn't removed, they could offer people 500gb+, its just a word - as people won't be able to use it due to the upload limit.

there is also no PC/MAC software to sync files automatically... if you upgrade to business there is... and that's very expensive

thanks for information, saw it at the app in the market
very useful !

Two good deals have arisen for android users lately to do with cloud storage. Dropbox with up to 5gb free earned storage with using their camera upload and unlimited upload filesize limit, and now this, box.net with 50gb but only 100mb upload filesize limit.
Why can't one of them take the initiative and give 50gb free storage and unlimited file size upload limit!?
I have to say that at the moment dropbox has got my attention because this is old news from box.net. Especially since pc sync software from dropbox is free opposed to box.net's paid business pc sync!
On the other hand, they are businesses in it to make money!!

DropBox 2GB plus 500 Mgs of Data

Help me, i am student and need more space in my drop box, if you use my student link account, i will get 500 megs everyone who signs up using the link in my signature, and you will also earn the same.
signup to dropbox cloud using the link in my signature
if this thread is not allowed, please excuse me, and i will remove, thanks

Yeah, not allowed. Its not a "deal".
Don't see why you need more space if you're a student though.

Ok, I have 9GB, please tell.

You sign up for Google ads and get free money on it.. then you link those adds to your drop box. When you have the preset "x amount" of adds you wanted to use all free ad money. Stop it and freeze account. With adds u can get a lot of drop box space

Or just sign up for G-Drive (5GB Free, which all G-Docs do not count to data limit)
Or Cubby.com (Also 5 GB) (I have invites)
Or Box.net (50GB when you signup from an Android Tablet)
Or SkyDrive (Don't know Limit, but higher than DropBox)

Or... do it like me. Had an HTC One X, got 25 GBs from there. Traded up to a Samsung Galaxy S3, and got an additional 50 GBs. Have 75 GBs and all I did was sign in on my phone.
Magical, eh?

Skydrive gives you 7GB free upon sign-up and has an Android app coming very soon.

Ok, so the problem I have is I want to do a backup of about 30gb of photos. However, most of the mentioned solutions cost too much or do not have a method to upload folders of photos, they want individual files chosen. I have a 25gb sky drive and a 50gb box.net.

You can't possibly expect a service to be cheap.
Just buy a backup HDD then.

Sorry, can't allow it.

AT&T specifically opted out of this promotion, because they want us to use their crap-ass AT&T locker.

I got it on my at&t s2 once it received jellybean.

I personally used a modified APK that someone whipped up a couple months ago (and got banned from XDA for it, i think), that tricks the Dropbox servers into thinking that you're connecting with a new S III or Note II that has that promotion, and gives you the 48GB of space, but you have to do some extra tweaking, since your Android's device ID (not IMEI) is stored in Dropbox's servers, and if they see that same ID as an S IV (or Note 1 in my case), then they'll revoke your space.
Totally not endorsing it either, the Dropbox team are some cool dudes, don't do them over.

It's not all that worth it either, they only give you the space for a year and then drop you back down.

YMMV, but if you sync a drop box account on a T-Mobile Note 2 you will get the bonus space.
I had a Note 2 for awhile and with that bonus I'm up to 78.8GB now.
My guess is you could go into a store and do it on the demo model...but I can't really recommend this and can't promise it'd work.

[Q] 50gbs free cloud storage?!

This might be old news to the forum and if so I'm sorry but LG is running a promotion thru September 2014. If you install the box app through their lgworld app store you get 50gbs free!
It's pretty sweet so I thought to share with the XDA community that let's me run CM11 on this beast of a phone. :laugh:

i can confirm this works
Sent from my VS980 4G using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I installed Box from the play store and got it.
Unless I'm missing it, Sprint phones don't have the LG World app. We have an lg update app, but not the lg world.

some limitations ? files ?

I didn't know about LG World and thanks for the info.

I tried it on may G2 running CM 11 and I got it as well. :victory:

I think that is standard for Box when you open a new account with them. Maybe Im wrong though.

Is that 50GB storage for life or just one year or any limited?

I'll let you in on a secret. Box checks your device by reading the build.prop file. So the ROM doesn't matter, as long as it identifies itself as an G2.
I've known people to grab a demo phone at a store, install box, log in, get the upgrade, then delete box from the phone...
Also known people to make changes to build.prop on a different phone (go look at the forums for some other phones), then install box to get the upgrade. Then revert the build.prop file back.

haha i was thinking that on the way home earlier In theory anyone who is rooted can get this promotion with any device, all you would have to do is temporarily change the device model in the build.prop and download box
(may test this theory on my old note) EDIT: nvm, forgot it has no battery
EDIT 2: I didn't read your post fully, i see you have already mentioned what i said haha

How much cloud space is everyone rocking these days? I have 50 from box, 77.5 from dropbox and 15 from google drive.
How much do I use? Maybe 10 on dropbox, but Ill take all the free space I can get!

Some space is more useful than others.
For free Box accounts, the max file size is a miniscule 250mb.
For Dropbox, there is no file size limit at all (except if you upload through their website, in which case it's 10gb).
Google Drive has a 10gb limit.

250MB limit is a complete joke. I understand that the space is free. It's probably free because no one can use it in the real world.

For what it's worth. Mail.Ru (a giant Russian company) is offering 1TB of cloud storage as a promotion until 1/20/14. You need to get in on the promotion by that date, the 1TB doesn't expire by that date. Here's what you do:
Sign up for an account:
http://e.mail.ru/signup?from=login&lang=en_US
Go through this link and click on the "Get" button (the black button in the center of the bottom of the page). This page will be in Russian, but you can use whatever translation service you like if necessary (ie. the one built into Chrome):
http://cloud.mail.ru/promo/
Install their Android client from Google play and log in:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.mail.cloud
That's it. Once you do that, the initial 100GB of free cloud storage becomes 1TB.
The Android client is not bad. It gives you automatic camera upload options, much like Dropbox. I'm not sure of the file size limits though.

I think I have about 3 or 4 50GB online storage from various providers and many fewer-GB storage from others, but honestly I'm using less than 1% of each, in fact, some has Zero byte in it. For some reason, I am not a big fan of cloudy. I don't want to load my personal stuff up there, that including pictures, family pictures left alone any sensitive documents. I currently use 2GB dropbox acct. and using total of 20MB with my biggest file is 549KB JPEG and many other 200KB .txt.
I guess I'm an old fashion dude.

Did you remember to Claim your 50GB Dropbox Space for 2 Years

Did you remember to Claim your 50GB Dropbox Space for 2 Years, Exclusive to T-Mobile Note 4 only.
| BE SURE TO CREATE A NEW DROPBOX ACCOUNT TO AVAIL THE 50GB. YOU CAN TRANSFER YOUR OLD DROPBOX ACCOUNT TO THE NEW DROPBOX ACCOUNT; 50GB VALID FOR TWO YEARS |

Since I already claimed it when I bought my Note 2 a couple of years ago, they wouldn't give me this offer again when I tried to register with the same account. I know I should have signed up with another account but I really don't need one or I can just easily find another free cloud storage.

I just used my another gmail address to get 50gig since I still have my note 2. Now on my pc I have two instances of dropbox running.

As the OP has stated to me in another thread, all you have to do is create a new account and you will get your 50 gigs. I did this last night and worked great. Got another 50 gigs for another 2 years.

Im happy with my 100gb google drive from my htc m8. 200gb skydrive from my surface pro 2, and 4TB yes 4TB from copy.com. thanx to fiver when they let u do unlimited referal. Not anymore.

This happened to me too. I'm pretty upset about it too. One of the reasons I chose the Note 4 was because of this offer.
Now I'm cleaning out my dropbox of the huge stuff so I can use it for simple backup. Because of this fiasco I doubt I'll ever pay for dropbox.

How do I claim it

Open the app on your phone and create a new account. You will need a computer as well. Part of the process of getting the 50 gigs is to install it on your computer, add some files and a couple other things. Once you have done that, the drop box account will update to 50.75 gigs.

Did you get a list of things to do from the site on your computer? Meaning, when you went to the site on dropbox to download the app, you should get a set of instructions on how to proceed. Once you meat 5 out of 7 of the requirements, you get the 50 gig upgrade and it is automatic. You should receive an email as soon as you meet the requirements.

Best thing to do is associate another e-mail address you might have with a new Dropbox Account when signing up through your Note 4. You must be having a T-Mobile Note 4 to do this.

I'm assuming you availed the 50GB from a previous Samsung offer other than pertaining to the Note 4.
To transfer the data, share all the files from your old account to the e-mail address associated with your new account. From there, go into your newly made Dropbox account, you will see all the files you shared with yourself from your old account. There will be an option to Add all the files currently shared with you, to your new Dropbox.
