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!!
From PALM PRE to GALAXY S2. From HOPE to RELIEF!

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.

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.

You have to do more than register yourself for dropbox to claim the free 50 gig storage.. Go to your dropbox dashboard and you'll find an option in the sidebar: GET STARTED or GET FREE STORAGE or something like that..!! Go to that page and it will have instructions.

Also the instructions are as follows:
1 Take the Dropbox tour Complete!
2 Install Dropbox on your computer Complete!
3 Put files in your Dropbox folder Complete!
4 Install Dropbox on other computers you use Complete!
5 Share a folder with friends or colleagues Complete!
6 Invite some friends to join Dropbox Complete!
7 Install Dropbox on your mobile device Complete!
BTW. These are the instructions and a complete! will be shown when you have completed them. You only need to complete 5 of them, but you can do all to get more free space. I have hence have the access to about 52.75 GB of Dropbox Space.
Another trick:
Follow these steps with your existing account and select a new account for your device. Follow instructions again. Voila. You have another 50 GB space in a separate account. In all over 100GB of free space. If you want another 50 GB, you can get it the same way, but you'll have to Factory Reset you phone.

Make sure to add your account before going into Gdrive. When you go into Gdrive it asks you which account you want to use to redeem and lists the accounts already in the phone. I tried and apparently screwed up or it didn't work. I'll assume I just screwed up.

i didn't add mine before opening, cuz I didn't even realize I would be able to redeem it until I opened. I just exited without touching anythign then went to add my account, came back and redeemed it on mine.
so then the next day I went out and bought my 16gb black in store....can't redeem it again on my phone LOL

Can someone versed in Google drive answer a question for me? Is there a way to make photos upload automatically to drive, or should I just use Google plus for that?

There is an app on play store for auto upload pictures to gDrive.
Re: stacking promotion with chrome book, the promo between moto x and chromebook stack nicely. You just have to open / close drive after your redeem or wait a few minutes to see your storage size reflected change.

Is there anything Gdrive is better than over dropbox? (other than being free with the X) Serious question. At $4.99 a month for 100gb it's pretty cheap. hmm so that brings up other questions. If you have 15gb already does it stack to 65gb then if you add the $4.99 a month for 100 does that stack to 165 gig? That's what I want if it works.
The 15gb is part of the 100gb. So if you do what you describe you would end up with 150gb for 4.99$

Are there details on this offer anywhere? Like is this for ALL carriers? or just certain ones?
Like the DropBox deal on the Galaxy S3 was available for T-Mobile S3 users, but not Verizon S3.
EDIT: "spects" tab on Verizon's page for the X does say "Get 50 GB of storage on Google Drive, free for two years."
A tip -- if you happened to skip over the redeem button and can't find it again, just go to Settings -> Product Tour in Drive and it will be there (if you had it to begin with).

This doesn't sound right. You should feedback to Google about the promotion. Doesn't make sense. Try call to Google support.

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.

EDIT 2: I didn't read your post fully, i see you have already mentioned what i said haha

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.
