I dont know if most are aware but it seems as if samsung or some of the carriers are doing a dropbox promotion for 50GB of free cloud storage for 2 yrs. A hell of a deal on already a very capable phone. I called up sprint to ask about the promotion and they hadnt heard of it. Fortunately, I did not quit and stumbled upon this link
https://www.dropbox.com/gs
I kno it seems like bs, but do the 7 steps on the screen. After doing that my drop box went from 2GB to that plus 50GB.

..it's extremely old news that the Galaxy S III was launching with 50 GB of temporary Dropbox space. It was widely reported that AT&T and other U.S. carriers had "opted out" of the promotion and denied it to US customers.
Are you a U.S. phone user or other? I wasn't aware any U.S. Galaxy S III owners could get in on the promotion.

I think Sprint and T-Mobile opted in on the 50 GB promotion.
This is a hackaround...

AT&T and Verizon models are not eligible for this promotion. It is well known that the Sprint and T-Mobile versions are. If you are on the latter two carriers, then you will be credited this automatically when you set up Dropbox on your S3. Thanks to Dropbox crediting me with about 25 gigs (because I logged in on a ROM that had been ported from the One X. This was unintentional on my part) a couple of months ago along with other promotions I went for I have 81.25 GB of storage with my account for free.

You probably didn't go through the how to.
If you go to your local T-Mo store, you can factory reset a HTC One S, log into DB, fly through the menu and log out. Get I think it was an additional 20-25GB on top of your 50GB you just got.
Its my understanding that you need to login through the phone every so often or it will assume you've just signed in from a device for the free space.

I think to get the free promotion u must start it from your device. Im really not sure if its carrier specific but I have Sprint and its working. Its also NOT a known promotion by Sprint for those who believe it is.
I dont know how it would work if you already have an account, I just made a new one to insure I would get mines...I did

You need to read your Sprint quick start manual that came with the box. There is a page that references the dropbox promotion. That's how I re learned of it after having completely forgotten about the promo from months ago

What page is that?
Edit: I see it on page 3...what's weird is that no one knew anything about it at my local corporate store...and that's here in NYC smh
You must go to their site online on your pc & do 5 of the 7 requirements & it will upgrade you to 52gigs.

As expected, VZW and ATT had to screw the users somehow
No surprise there.....US phones that are released worldwide are ALWAYS lacking features and bonuses that the rest of the world receives
Just came to post this. Such crap! I'm beginning to aggressively hate Verizon more and more each day.

I'm sure the reason for this is the recently announced Dropbox video streaming. Now its very easy to upload all your media to the 50GB space, then stream it whenever you want without having to sync/download. It's like Google Music for videos, except it uses 10x the bandwidth.
Carriers are NOT happy about that because they can't charge you for it. Both VZW and ATT have lots of people with grandfathered unlimited data, and most who never come close to the bandwidth caps. So they are trying to prevent this.
This reminds me of when I opened my HOX and the beats headphones weren't there!

HTC stopped including Beats headphones with their phones a few months back. That's across their entire catalog not just in the US.
While this would not have stopped me from purchasing the phone, I'm pretty frustrated and feel cheated because Verizon decided to drop something that the phone was presumed to come with, and without notifying customers whatsoever that they opted out of the otherwise standard promotion.

If that's Verizon's thinking it makes me question what percentage of their customer base still has the unlimited plans. While people with unlimited plans can abuse something like this I have to believe that the people who don't have unlimited far outweigh those that do. Furthermore 50GB of easily accessible storage seems like a good way to induce people into data overages.
Not sure if anyone saw this. If you purchase a S3, Dropbox is offering 50gb of storage for free for 2 years. If you purchase a HTC One X you get 25gb of storage for free for 2 years. So you can tell Verizon and AT&T to stuff it because Dropbox is being the nice guys here.

There's little chance this decision will be reversed but we must fight.

i'm hoping you do. there was no indication on my dropbox account there was any extension of my free year as the expiration date didn't change, but as soon as september rolled around, i got an extra year.

UPDATE - Gift Card is now only $50 for upgrades thru 6/30/15 but $150 for new lines.
Only until the 23rd. But 6 months of free Google Play Music AND a $200 gift card is a great deal!!!!!! Phandroid is reporting that the Verizon N6 comes with 6 months of free GPM if you buy it by the 31st.
http://www.comcast.com/verizon-wireless.html
You do not need to be a Comcast subscriber to qualify for this promotion. Some times the gift cards take forever to get to you and sometimes you have to make multiple phone calls to get them. But eventually I got mine when I bought another device through this link a year ago.
Edited - The Nexus 6 is on the Comcast link now. To find the Nexus 6 on the Comcast link, you have to hit the "All Devices" tab at the top and then search for the Nexus 6 or filter by Motorola brand.
Thank you so much for posting this! Looking forward to using it! Would you,or anyone else, happen to know if there is a method to use with this promotion and preserve grandfathered unlimited data? I have one unlimited line and two basic lines. Additionally, my current phone is a galaxy s3 and the sim card size is different. Would taking both phones to a Verizon store and asking them to activate a new sim card negatively affect my unlimited plan? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

That would be the worst possible thing to do. There are several methods you can use depending on which lines on your account are eligible for upgrades. Be sure and read the wiki on that thread I posted a link to.

Yes, I am getting the N6, just deciding whether or not to get the Verizon since Phandroid leaked the info in Verizon's system that shows only the 32GB blue one will be coming to Verizon. The good news is that you get 6 months of free Google Play Music!
http://phandroid.com/2015/03/08/verizon-nexus-6-pricing-availability-leak/
I really want the white 64GB one but the free GPM x 6 months along with the $200 comcast gift card is really tempting. And I rarely if ever see the white 64GB available on Motorola or Google Play Store.
JulesJam said:
I really want the white one but the free GPM x 6 months along with the $200 comcast gift card is really tempting. The only thing holding me back is that my upgrade is on a basic line and I am going to try to transfer it to another basic line and see if that allows me to keep my upgrade. For some reason and no one knows why, when you do an upgrade transfer through Verizon online, some people are keeping their upgrades and not getting contract extensions. Obviously it is a glitch in the Verizon system, but I would like to take a chance and see if it works for me.
When people did the transfers through the Comcast link, they did not keep their upgrades and their contracts were renewed, but they got the gift cards. The Comcast link is through the iconic portal and it must process the orders differently is all I can guess.

I will update my results on the slick deals thread. I actually edited out that part of my post that you quoted b/c I would rather the upgrade questions be posted on the slick deals thread as it really is a complicated situation and people need to read the wiki over there before they attempt any of the methods. I don't want people trying any of the methods w/o reading the wiki so it is better to keep the upgrade method discussion over there IMO.
I thought all Nexus 6's came with 6 months free of GPM. I was given it when I first logged in.

Hmm I got my N6 after that, maybe the guy I bought it from never activated it for my model?

The link says the N6 had to be purchased b/f 12/31/14 but you had until 1/31/15 to activate the offer.
Wow this is a fantastic deal! I wasn't even thinking about the Nexus but I might not have a choice with this offer. Not sure about the size of the Nexus 6 but from what I've read most people get used to it.

The $200 gift card is available for any smartphone you get so you don't have to go with an N6 to get it.
Again, it may take some work to get it, I had to make a few phone calls before I got mine and it took 3 months to get it last time but I did eventually get it.

Yeah but I think the Nexus 6 is the only device on Verizon I really want right now. If this were to extend into next month I would go with the S6 probably, but I wouldn't be too upset with the Nexus 6 either.

Sometimes they extend these offers, sometimes they don't, but I wouldn't expect them to keep the offer open during the S6 launch.
Wow, great find, makes a case for updating to an N6 on edge online vice the store.
how to they get anything out of it?

I have no idea, but I always check the comcast link first - just type Verizon xfinity in google and you hit on the link for the promo.

Only until the 23rd. But 6 months of free Google Play Music AND a $200 gift card is a great deal!!!!!! Phandroid is reporting that the Verizon N6 comes with 6 months of free GPM if you buy it by the 31st.

You do not need to be a Comcast subscriber to qualify for this promotion. Some times the gift cards take forever to get to you and sometimes you have to make multiple phone calls to get them. But eventually I got mine when I bought another device through this link a year ago.

My guess edge won't work with Comcast deal will have to be 2 year contract.. Edge is contract phone not Verizon contract

Nope, link takes me thru where I enter VZ account info and then I could select a unit on edge, and they say edge in the promotion - Copied from their site: "Exclusive Online Offer
Requires new tablet activation or new 2-year or Edge activation of a new smartphone.", just that one cant yet obviously select the N6 until Thursday ...
